Dr. Michael Fischer is an Assistant Scientist with the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) at the University of Miami. His research interests involve environmental and convective influences on tropical cyclone structure and intensity change, with an emphasis on processes associated with tropical cyclone rapid intensification. His research utilizes a combination of satellite and aircraft observations, reanalysis products, numerical modeling, and machine-learning techniques.

Some optimistic and positive science news to end the year.For rats, anticipation of a pleasurable event is a pleasure in itself One day early in the pandemic, behavioural neuroscientist Kelly Lambert from the University of Richmond went to check on her rats. The rats responded with excitement when they saw her, anticipating the treats they were about to receive. That inspired her to pivot her research to study the effects that anticipating pleasurable experiences could have on the brain. She's found in research that has yet to be published, that building in anticipation periods before they get to do something they enjoy, increases, which, if her findings extend to humans, could help boost mental resiliency. Their previous work was published in Behavioural Brain Research. How Marine Protected Areas are improving tuna fisheriesA comprehensive study of province-sized marine protected areas in the tropical pacific has shown that they not only provide a refuge for fish, but improve tuna fisheries harvests in the areas outside their borders, making a win-win for conservation and industry. John Lynham, a professor of Economics at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, led the study which was published in the journal Science.For chimpanzees, play and the world plays with youA study of chimpanzees in Zambia has revealed that play and grooming are infectious behaviours. Animals who observe others performing these activities are more likely to groom and play themselves, which the researchers think promotes social cohesion in the troop. Zanna Clay, a professor of Psychology at Durham University, was part of the team, which published their research in the journal PLOS One.The oceans smallest plants and animals could help suck up excess atmospheric carbonResearchers may have discovered a new, fairly simple way to stimulate life in the ocean to capture and lock up atmospheric carbon. Phytoplankton absorbs and then releases 150 billion tons of atmospheric carbon every year. The researchers found that by adding just a little bit of clay to a phytoplankton bloom, this glues carbon particles together, creating “carbon snow” that falls down and is eaten by zooplankton, who then deposit it in the deep ocean. Mukul Sharma, a professor of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth College, says that in the lab this method locked up 90 per cent of the carbon that phytoplankton released. His study was published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports.A seal of approval: Unique elephant seal behaviour observed by a failed experimentA team of researchers developed a sophisticated deep-water experiment to observe and listen for sounds made by sablefish. They were startled when their study site was repeatedly visited by elephant seals, who would chase and chow down on the sablefish — all at 645 meters below the ocean's surface. This accidental observation was made in the Barkley Canyon Node, part of the Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) cabled video-observatory. It was the first time that elephant seals were studied in the deep ocean, giving unexpected and valuable new insights into seal resting and foraging behaviour. The findings were published in the journal PLOS One.Producer Amanda Buckiewicz spoke with Rodney Rountree, an independent biologist, ichthyologist, and adjunct marine biologist in the Department of Biology at Victoria University.And Héloïse Frouin-Mouy, an assistant scientist at the University of Miami's Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies, and affiliate at the University of Victoria.

Parts of the Great Lakes are digging out from a lake effect snow storm that brought six feet of snow to parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania. And the North Shore of Lake Superior will get its own dose of lake effect snow Wednesday. New research aims to better predict how winter storms will look in the Great Lakes region, which stretches from here in Minnesota to upstate New York. Abby Hutson, a researcher at the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) at the University of Michigan, joins MPR News host Nina Moini to explain.

In 2022, a research paper sounded the alarm – the ocean is losing its memory. The ocean is vast, its memories ancient. Believed to be where life on Earth first originated, this large body of water holds an enormous amount of information. But with human-induced global warming, it's almost as if the ocean is developing amnesia, according to the researchers who studied this phenomenon. But how does the ocean lose its memory? What does it mean for the ocean to have memory in the first place? Here, Dr. Hui Shi, a researcher at the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research who was also the lead author of the 2022 research paper, and Dr. Heather Spence, a marine biologist and composer, help us understand what ocean memory means, both for our present, and future. In ‘The Missing Link,' The Swaddle's science podcast, we take a look at humanity's most urgent questions – and the answers that might be lurking in unexpected science.

Researchers working with Dugout Ranch in Indian Creek are studying how a breed of desert-adapted cattle fare in this region compared to Red Angus. So far, they've found the criollo prefer larger, more drought resistant forage than drought-sensitive grass. We also hear from our partners at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at CU Boulder about studying grasshoppers in the field. //Photo: Criollo cattle are being studied at Dugout Ranch, as well as other ranches across the Southwest.

Judith Rosellon is a biologist and oceanographer with extensive experience in fisheries management and ecology, marine spatial management, evaluation of marine protected areas, and fisheries stock assessment. She has a Ph.D. from the School of Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) at UMass Dartmouth and worked as a Postdoctoral fellow at the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (CFOS) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). She is currently a lead researcher at the National Council for Science and Technology or CONACYT (Consejo National de Ciencia y Tecnología). Her international background, and oceanographic studies both in Mexico and USA make it possible for her to understand, develop, and coordinate complex marine co-management and policy projects between US and Latin American countries. Justin Suca is a fish ecologist at the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. His research includes studies on the diet and growth of fish, but he typically focuses on understanding and predicting the distribution and abundance of fisheries-relevant species. He got involved with this project because he grew up in Florida and had experienced sargassum inundation in his high school and college years. It also provided an opportunity to connect with the fishing communities he grew up around. Laura McAdam-Otto is an anthropologist at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany. Her work focuses on governance practices in the field of both forced migration and anthropogenic environmental change. Her research and teaching are located at the interface of anthropology, cultural studies, science, and technology studies. Together as a team, they worked on the project "Binational local knowledge of Sargassum events" which was supported by the US Department of State through the "Partners of the Americas" grant program. The objective of this project in particular was to document local knowledge of coastal communities of Mexico (Quintana Roo) and the US (Florida) regarding atypical influxes of Sargassum.

By 2060, nearly 1 in 3 Americans will be able to speak Spanish. Previous National Weather Service assessments have linked casualties and fatalities to faulty communication in Spanish. Joseph Trujillo Falcón, a research scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Cooperative Institute with the National Severe Storm Labatory in Norman, Oklahoma, and a meteorologist for MyRadar, comes on the show to talk to the weather team about his goals. Falcón, 25, says that translating weather alerts from English to Spanish is more than putting it through an online translator. Different words mean different things, depending on where in the Spanish-speaking world you are from. Furthermore, the culture of weather forecasting is less prominent than in the United States. He takes us through the issues, and solutions he's working on.

Tonight's Guest WeatherBrain is the Research Meteorologist for the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere at Colorado State University, and works from home in Enid, Oklahoma. He earned is B. S. in Meteorology at SUNY Oswego in 1986 and his M. S. in Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University in 1988. Throughout his 34-year career, currently contracted with the National Weather Service (NWS) Meteorological Development Laboratory (MDL), he has been at the forefront of the research-to-operations (R2O) process of new technology for improving NWS severe weather and tornado warnings. He was a NWA Board of Directors member from 2016-2018, and coordinator of the NWA Research Operations Nexus (RON) Meetups between 2015-2020.  Greg Stumpf, welcome to the show!

Gabe Vecchi's research spans a remarkably wide range of topics: he started as an oceanographer, and studied intraseasonal variability in the Pacific, before moving to the Indian Ocean, and then, when he moved to Princeton in the 2000s, to a range of atmospheric problems, including a critically important paper on the influence of global warming on the tropical Walker circulation. And then Gabe got into hurricanes, a topic on which he's been a key player for a decade and a half now. He has made important contributions not just on those topics, but on a dizzying array of others that one can see on his truly remarkable publication list. Gabe's work spans ocean and atmosphere, tropical and extratropical, weather and climate, basic and applied, and nearly every other dichotomy in this field one can think of. In fact, Gabe says that to keep things fresh, scientists should be forced to change the topics they work on every 10 years. He himself certainly loves to seek out new problems and projects, but he somehow manages to do that without having to drop the old problems he used to work on. Hallmarks of Gabe's work, and as you'll hear, Gabe himself, are freshness, openness to new ideas, and openness to what the data say for that matter, and overall the lack of pretense that he brings to science, and to life. Gabe's story really starts in Venezuela. After being born in Boston, he spent most of his childhood there, moving back to the USA, and New Jersey in particular, when he was 16, fleeing the runaway inflation, deterioration of living standards, and other difficulties that came with the Chavez regime. You can't hear Gabe's Venezuelan background in his perfect American accent, which he describes learning from TV shows as a high school student. But it gives him a particular perspective on what's happening in the US now, and at the end of the episode he and Adam get into what the US democracy's accelerating failures do and don't have in common with Venezuela's. Gabe's scientific career led him from his undergraduate studies at Rutgers to graduate school at the University of Washington, and then from NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seattle to its Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton. He was a civil servant for a number of years before moving across the street a few years ago to become professor in the Geosciences department at Princeton University, where he's also Director of The High Meadows Environmental Institute and Deputy Director of the Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System. Apart from talking about science, Gabe and Adam also discuss the challenges of communicating their science to the media, what kinds of climate science do and don't matter to real-world mitigation or adaptation efforts, and other issues that they've both struggled with. And Gabe gives advice on how to make important decisions: "So many of the things that affect the paths that we take are so totally out of our control, even totally invisible to us, that spending too much time planning beyond making sure that you're not making a really obviously bad decision is, I think, a waste of energy. And it keeps you from discovering things." He applied that decision-making philosophy for example when he had to decide where he wanted to go for graduate school: "I had winnowed down the choice to two places. One was Washington and one was another place on the West Coast. And so, the reason I chose Washington... And this I'll stand behind. This is the way to make decisions. I winnowed it down to two good options, and then I chose something almost arbitrary to make the distinction, and what I chose was where my dog would be happier. [...] Moving past the decision as fast as possible and in a way that was as amusing and stress-free as possible to me was the way to do it. So, thinking about what my dog would have wanted was that." Besides being an amazingly productive and influential scientist whose impacts are both broad and deep...

Has a tornado hit your house or your community? Have you received a tornado alert? NOAA scientists want to hear your story. The new Tornado Tales citizen science tool is an online survey that provides a way for people to anonymously report their tornado experiences. Developed by researchers at the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), the tool will be used to better understand how people receive, interpret and respond to tornado information from NOAA. Our guest this week is project coordinator Justin Sharpe, research scientist with the Cooperative Institute for Severe and High-Impact Weather Research and Operations (CIWRO) working at the NOAA NSSL.

Why is Colorado phasing out coal? Simply put: Planet Earth is warming up. Fast. For decades, scientific evidence has pointed to significant human influence on our climate, dating back to the Industrial Revolution. Burning fossil fuels like coal releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, accelerating global warming.  Climate change increases the volatility in our systems. And the catastrophic effects are already being felt. The U.S. has experienced a record-breaking number of weather disasters in recent years, including droughts, hurricanes, and wildfires.  In 2019, the Colorado legislature took its boldest step yet toward addressing climate change. House Bill 1261 committed Colorado to a 50% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and a 90% reduction by 2050. Almost every sector would be affected. Electrical utilities, like Tri-State would need to generate more of their power from renewables like wind and solar. The bill signaled the beginning of the end for coal plants in the state. For others, the bill was seen as an overreach and another example of the glaring rural-urban divide in America today. How do we balance the need to protect the planet with the need to protect livelihoods?

In this episode, Daniel has a fascinating conversation with Professor Jose-Luis Jimenez, aerosol expert and fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA. In July last year, Professor Jimenez was one of 239 experts in multiple scientific fields who signed an open letter to the CDC and WHO (1) urging them to recognise inhalation as the main mode of transmission of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. Daniel and Professor Jimenez's conversation covers the difference between droplet and aerosol transmission, why it matters and how to reduce the spread, plus Jose's publicly available modelling tool, which you can use to estimate the transmission risk in your practice (2). Professor Jimenez shares his own personal recommendations on specific mask types. The College continues to align its views and recommendations on masks with those of Public Health England.

The North Indian Ocean was no exception. This episode delves into the historical record and emerging scientific understanding of storm formation to put the 2020 weather in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea into a longer-run context. Speakers discuss the evolving business and social interest in weather and climate data, as well as the underlying collaboration and public investments to understand a region as complex as the North Indian Ocean. 

Ira Pastor, ideaXme life sciences ambassador and founder of Bioquark interviews Dr. Frank D. Marks, MS, ScD, Director of Hurricane Research Division, at NOAA. Ira Pastor comments: Weather and climate disasters affect the world's population. The total approximate cost of damages from weather and climate disasters in the U.S. alone from 1980 to 2019, is over $1.75 trillion, and a major component of that damage results from hurricanes. Few things in nature can compare to the destructive force of a hurricane. Called the "Greatest Storm On Earth", a hurricane is capable of annihilating coastal areas with sustained winds of 155 miles per hour or higher, intense areas of rainfall, and a storm surge. In fact, during it's life cycle a hurricane can expend as much energy as 10,000 nuclear bombs! The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is an American scientific agency, within the United States Department of Commerce, that focuses on the conditions of the oceans, major waterways, and the atmosphere. NOAA warns of dangerous weather, charts seas, guides the use and protection of ocean and coastal resources, and conducts research to provide the understanding and improve stewardship of the environment. Dr. Frank D. Marks, is Director of Hurricane Research Division, at NOAA: Dr. Marks is a recognized expert in tropical cyclones and is the leader of the NOAA tropical cyclone research efforts as the research lead of NOAA is Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP) and the director of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorology Laboratory. Dr. Marks also serves as co-lead of the NOAA Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research (OFCM) Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research (WG/TCR). His research interests include analyzing meteorological remote sensing (e.g., microwave radar and radiometer) and numerical model data sets, particularly in tropical cyclones and mesoscale convective systems to understand the storm kinematic and precipitation structure. Besides his role within NOAA Dr. Marks is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography at the University of Miami, as well as a Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School for Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. Dr. Marks received a B.S. in Meteorology from Belknap College (1973) and both an M.S. (1975) and Sc.D. (1981) in Meteorology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dr. Marks is a member of the American Meteorlogical Society (AMS) and became a Fellow of the AMS in 2000. He served as a member of AMS Committee on Radar Meteorology and of the AMS Council. On this ideaXme episode we will hear from Dr. Marks about: - His background - how he became interested in science, in meteorology, in hurricane research, and a little bit of his career journey through the academic and government sectors to date - A general introduction to NOAA and specifically the Hurricane Research Division - A discussion of core research priorities of the Hurricane Research Division - Technological developments that Dr. Marks is personally most excited about looking forward over the next decade or two, such as artificial intelligence/ machine learning in the forecasting process - The SUSTAIN lab or the "Surge Structure Atmosphere Interaction" lab - University of Miami US$45 million initiative to produce hurricanes up to a category 5 level (the strongest there is), with wind speeds reaching more than 252 km/h (157 mph). - This history of NOAA attempts to "stop a hurricane in its track" and Project STORMFURY - His experiences with flying into a hurricane on the NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircrafts Credits: Ira Pastor, ideaXme ambassador interview.

What are solar storms? How are they caused? And how can we use data science to forecast them?In this episode of DataCafé we talk about the Sun and how it drives space weather, and the efforts to forecast solar radiation storms that can have a massive impact here on Earth. On a regular day, the Sun has a constant stream of charged particles, or plasma, coming off its surface into the solar system, known as the solar wind. But in times of high activity it can undergo much more explosive phenomena: two of these being solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These eruptions on the Sun launch energetic particles into space in the form of plasma and magnetic field that can reach us here on Earth and cause radiation storms and/or geomagnetic storms. These storms can degrade satellites, affect telecommunications and power grids, and disrupt space exploration and aviation.  Although we can be glad the strongest events are rare, this means they are hard to predict because of the difficulties in observing, studying and classifying them. So the challenge then becomes, how can we forecast them?To answer this we speak to Dr. Hazel Bain, a research scientist specializing in the development of tools for operational space weather forecasting. She tells us about her efforts to bring together physics-based models with machine learning in order to improve solar storm forecasts and provide alerts to customers in industries like aviation, agriculture and space exploration.

Guest: Kim Klockow-McClainBroadcast meteorologists are often the face of severe weather as they are the first people we see when severe weather is expected. However, there is a larger network of people from broadcasters, to emergency managers, law enforcement officers, and state and local officials who must work together to best serve the community before and after a disaster. Today’s guest is Kim Klockow-McClain, a societal impacts researcher from the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS). Her focus is to gather and share the human stories that unfold during severe weather events, and with each interaction, she strives to learn how our network of communicators can improve the warning-decision process.

Magali Barba-Sevilla is a seismologist at the University of Colorado’s Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences and Department of Geology.   In today’s episode, Therese and Magali discuss the three different classes of earthquakes, why earthquakes can’t be predicted, how early warning systems work, and the real facts about how to be safe should an earthquake strike.    Key Takeaways:  The most severe type of earthquake occurs when an oceanic tectonic plate, which is heavier than terrestrial plate, slides under the terrestrial plate.  These events are what are common in the ring of fire. Early warning systems function because shortly before an earthquake strikes, there are “primary waves” detectable only by seismologists and some animals, and seismologists can send signals to nearby urban areas that there are anywhere from a few seconds to a minute to seek protection. Contrary to many beliefs, the safest place to be is not under a doorway or in the “triangle of life”.  The best thing to do is to seek cover under a table and hold on to the legs in order to move with it when the shaking begins.    "I've heard that people think that earthquakes typically occur either in the morning or at night. But this is not true. They occur anytime. I think that the reason why people think that is is because they're woken up by them, and that makes them more memorable." —  Magali Barba-Sevilla    Connect with Magali Barba-Sevilla: Bio: Magali Barba-Sevilla    Article: Hazard Implications of the 2016 Wm 5.0 Cushing, OK Earthquake from a Joint Analysis of Damage and InSAR Data Article: Satellite Imagery Measures Ground Motion Due to Oklahoma Induced Seismicity      Connect with Therese:  Website:   www.criticallyspeaking.net Twitter: @CritiSpeak Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net        Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Today's show offers two features: Oil & Gas Impacts (start time: 1:05) Proposition 112, which would require oil and gas wells to be at least 2,500 feet from homes, schools, parks and other buildings, has highlighted mounting public concerns about the health, social and other impacts of extensive drilling along Colorado's Front Range.  Weld County is  center stage for the latest oil and gas boom; nearly half of Colorado’s 55,000 active wells are located there. Jason Plautz, a Denver-based journalist, discussed with host Susan Moran the science and politics surrounding drilling activities, and whether explosions such as the one in Windsor last December could happen in many other locations. Plautz and Daniel Glick wrote a feature article that has just been published in High Country News. Healthy Planet+Healthy Humans? (start time: 14:46) Matthew Burgess has been immersed in thinking about and studying how we humans, and the planet we inhabit, can both remain intact—in fact, can both thrive--well into the future. What’s he smok’in, you might ask? In fact, he is a serious environmental scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Dr. Burgess and nearly two dozen colleagues authored a recently published scientific paper that applies models to show how we can meet demands of increased populations and economic growth in 2050, while simultaneously achieving bold and effective conservation and climate goals set forth by the United Nations. Dr. Burgess is an assistant professor in Environmental Studies, with an additional appointment in Economics. And he works at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Science (CIRES), the collaboration between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Colorado. He discusses the paper and its implications with hosts Susan Moran and Joel Parker.

Hacking the Planet (start time: 10:24): It’s tough to wrap one’s mind around just how monumental and consequential the problem of climate change is. So dire that scientist and engineers for years have been exploring ways to “hack” the planet--to manipulate the global climate system enough to significantly reduce planet-warming gases or increase the Earth's ability to reflect solar radiation. This audacious scheme, called geoengineering, only exists because many scientists think that human behavioral change, industry regulations, international treaties and national legislation, have not done enough -- can not do enough – to keep us from careening toward climate catastrophe. Our guests today have given this huge challenge a lot of thought and some research. Dr. Lisa Dilling is an associate professor of Environmental Studies at CU Boulder and a fellow at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, or CIRES. Dr. David Fahey is a physicist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA.  He directs the Chemical Sciences Division at NOAA’s Earth System Research Lab in Boulder. Some relevant materials on geoengineering: 2017 study on public perception of climate change; 2015 National Research Council committee evaluation of proposed climate-intervention tchniques.

We're back in familiar territory on the podcast this week. Once again, we are revisiting Mark Jacobson's famous -- some might say infamous -- 100% renewable energy scenario. This week, we're rounding out our previous conversation with Professor Jacobson by turning to Dr. Christopher Clack, the lead author of a critique of Jacobson's modeling, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in June. Dr. Clack is the CEO of Vibrant Clean Energy, a grid modeling firm. His expertise is in mathematics, statistics and optimization. He formerly worked at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. Dr. Clack is also the co-lead author of a 2016 paper in the journal Nature Climate Change looking at how the U.S. could slash carbon emissions by 80 percent. In this podcast, we talk about Clack's rebuttal, Jacobson's rebuttal to Clack's rebuttal, the meaning of the debate over 100 percent renewables, and the reason so many academics targeted Jacobson's work.

Max Boykoff - Global Climate Talks - Moving Ahead With or Without US -  (entire show) While the world has held climate talks for 22 years (This is COP - Conference of the Parties -- 22) and the Kyoto Protocol talks about climate change have been held for 12 years, this year's October's climate talks in Paris mark the first time that  "entry into force" has been achieved.  You might think of "entry into force" as the time when a critical number of nations are ready to develop global treaties regarding climate and pollution and its effects around the world.  The 1st world meeting ever to talk about "Entry into Force" on climate issues is taking place right now, in Marrakech, Morocco.  200 nations have gathered to discuss these issues.  The meetings began just before the US elections.  Now Donald Trump is President Elect, and he has signaled that he will pull back from many of the nation's current plans to reduce pollution and combat climate change. To find out how this affects the world climate talks, up next we talk with Max Boykoff, speaking via Skype from the world climate talks in Marrakech Morocco.  Max Boykoff is a scientist at CU Boulder and director of the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research, which is part of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Studies at CU-Boulder.  He’s the author of a book on climate science and social response, titled, “Who Speaks for the Climate?”   Host/Producer/Engineer: Shelley Schlender Executive Producer: Beth Bennett    

Methane Madness (start time: 2:20)  More than a decade ago, scientists noted that the area where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah meet, known as Four Corners, appeared to be emitting a curiously large amount of methane. In a new study, a team of scientists have traced the source: more than 250 gas wells, storage tanks, pipelines and processing plants associated with oil and gas development in the San Juan Basin. The basin is one of many places where new drilling technologies, including horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, have propelled a boom in natural gas extraction. The boom has transformed the U.S. energy mix. Our two guests discuss with hosts Daniel Glick and Susan Moran the science and public health aspects of this study as well as the human side of living near natural gas wells in Colorado. Dr. Colm Sweeney co-authored the recent Four Corners study. He is the lead scientist for NOAA’s Earth System Research Lab Aircraft Program, and he is a research scientist with the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, or CIRES, at the University of Colorado Boulder. Our other guest, Dr. Christopher Clack, is a physicist and mathematician with CIRES whose research focuses on renewable electricity. He shares his personal experience with and documentation of natural gas extraction.

Dr. Christopher Clack is a mathematician and research scientist for the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at Colorado University at Boulder.  He joins us to talk about his latest work of building an energy, well more specifically electric, simulator. Dr. Clack discusses how it allows us to seek out the most cost effective approach to rebuild the future energy system in a methodical calculated way. It is a model, so you can investigate almost infinite possibilities and display them for decision makers.

Today, Dec. 8, we offer the following feature: Changing Climate, Changing Policy (start time: 7:06): As political leaders are still hammering out an accord at the UN Climate Summit, or COP21, in Paris, to rein in global warming, today we discuss the underlying scientific facts about climate change, and the policy promises and challenges for our future. Hosts Susan Moran and Daniel Glick interview two Colorado scientists at the intersection of science and policy. Dr. Waleed Abdalati is a geoscientist and director of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), a partnership between the University of Colorado-Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Dr. Lisa Dilling is an associate professor of environmental studies, also at CIRES, who brings expertise in science policy related to climate issues. She directs The Western Water Assessment, a NOAA program that provides information for policy makers throughout the Intermountain West about the region’s vulnerabilities to climate change impacts. Contributing host Daniel Glick was an editor of the 2014 National Climate Assessment, and his team has produced videos on the immediate and human impacts of climate change.

For our May 13th show we offer two features: Gold Lab Symposium (starts at 3:42): Biotech entrepreneur Larry Gold, a CU Boulder professor at the BioFrontiers Institute, talks with How On Earth's Shelley Schlender about the annual Gold Lab Symposium, which will be held in Boulder May 16th and 17th.  This year's theme is Embracing the Reptile Within: Head, Heart and Healthcare.  The event will focus on research and educational approaches that can potentially help improve the U.S. healthcare system. U.S. Climate Change Report (starts at 11:50) The National Climate Assessment, a sobering new report on the science and impacts of climate change in the U.S., makes it starkly clear that human-induced climate change is already affecting all parts of the country. It is making water more scarce in some regions while bringing torrential rains elsewhere. It is making heat waves more common and severe, and it’s causing more severe and destructive wildfires. How On Earth co-host Susan Moran talks with two guests: Kristen Averyt, PhD, is a lead author of a chapter on Energy, Water and Land. She is associate director for Science at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at CU Boulder.  Dan Glick is a journalist who helped edit the report. His company, The Story Group, also produced a series of videos that highlight the report's key findings and how climate change is affecting many people's lives and livelihoods.

Amazon CO2 (start time 04:37) The Amazon basin contains the largest tropical rainforest on the planet. It’s been critical not only for its beauty and biodiversity but also for its ability to store more carbon dioxide than it emits. The soil and above-ground biomass of the Amazon makes it one of the largest reservoirs of carbon dioxide. And that has helped to keep climate change from accelerating even faster. But a new study shows that the Amazon’s tropical ecosystems may actually give off more CO2 into the atmosphere than they absorb. To learn what’s shifting in the Amazon basin and the implications of this shift, host Susan Moran speaks with one of the authors of the study. John Miller is a scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder. Specifically, he’s with NOAA’s Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, which is at the University of Colorado. Power Plant Smokestacks (start time 14:43) To understand the global greenhouse gas budgets, it’s critical to characterize their sources and sinks. Electrical power generation accounts for about a third of all greenhouse gas emissions in the US. While the actual generation of power is only part of the entire production and use cycle of electricity, power generation stations are an important part of the budget. A definitive study of smokestack gases shows that power plant emissions in the US are down and that combined-cycle gas powered plants have much lower emissions than the coal plants they are replacing. How On Earth host Jim Pullen talks with the study's lead author, Dr. Joost de Gouw. Joost is also with the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado in Boulder and also NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), Chemical Science Division.

In celebration of Thanksgiving, Beth Bartel interviews Stan Baker of the National Wild Turkey Federation about wild turkeys in Colorado. You may be surprised at the story of the wild turkey in North America and just how different the wild turkey is from the domestic turkeys we're used to. There's a reason Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey, not the bald eagle, to be our national bird. Can light pollution at night lead to air pollution during the day? Jim Pullen talks with researcher Harald Stark of the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Environmental Sciences (CIRES) to find out. Stark's work has taken him over Los Angeles to measure the chemistry of the night sky. What he is learning increases our understanding of ground-level ozone, which is a major pollutant of our urban air.
