New research focused on understanding U.S. public sentiment around nuclear power suggests a lack of majority opposition to nuclear power, in general, and fusion technology, in particular. In the case of fusion energy, the data indicate a slight majority of support.

Box and whisker plots reveal spread of soil moisture conditions across the Sky Mtn and Independence Pass site landscapes on several dates throughout the summer.

AGCI-CW3E summer intern Fallon Santander ponders the question: can research be ceremony?

Computation has fundamentally changed the way we study nature. New data collection technology, such as GPS, high-definition cameras, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), genotyping, and crowdsourcing, are generating data about the natural world that are orders of magnitude richer than any previously collected. AI can turn these data into a high-resolution information source about living organisms and the planet’s biodiversity, enabling scientific inquiry, conservation, and policy decisions. The talk will introduce a new field of science, imageomics, and present a vision and examples of AI as a trustworthy partner both in science and biodiversity conservation, discussing opportunities and challenges.

Why are cities increasingly facing extreme water shortages? Recent research shines a light on the compounding effects of human and climate drivers of shrinking storage, providing foundational knowledge that can inform responses to water stress on lakes and reservoirs.  

AGCI and colleagues have developed a framework for testing innovative, collaborative approaches to doing research, which leverages existing research efforts and aims to yield more interconnected and decision-relevant research outcomes in the Colorado River Headwaters.

Thousands of hospitals are at risk of shutting down due to an extreme weather event. Experts say it’s time to adapt.
