A Warm Ocean 'Blob' Is Causing Chile's Megadrought
such as recently seen in Syria."The fact that a swathe of warm water, even one spanning more than 8 million kilometers, could impact conditions thousands of kilometers away in Chile shows how broadly climate change will affect the planet, said ocean and climate scientist Dillon Amaya at the University of Colorado in Boulder."We need to be cognizant of the changes that are happening in global climate thousands of miles away," Amaya said. "It's all connected."(Reporting by Cassandra Garrison; Editing by Lisa Shumaker

Renewable Energy: Wind, Sun Could Dominate by 2030
NOAA, CIRES study: Wind, sun could eclipse fossil fuels for electric power by 2030. The United States could slash greenhouse gas emissions from power production by up to 78 percent below 1990 levels within 15 years while meeting increased demand, according to a new study by NOAA and University of Colorado Boulder researchers. The study used a sophisticated mathematical model to evaluate future cost, demand, generation and transmission scenarios. It found that with improvements in transmission infrastructure, weather-driven renewable resources could supply most of the nation’s electricity

This project has given us high schoolers an incredible experience, and we look forward to competing again in the future.” Other teams using Fishers acoustic devices to help design their AUVs for Robosub are from Kasetsart University in Thailand, University of Colorado Boulder, National University of Singapore and India’s Underwater Robotics Society. Other educational institutions using Fishers pingers in their projects are the University of Delaware, University of Texas Austin, University of South Florida, Texas A&M, Lester B. Pearson College
Arctic Shrinking Sea-Ice: Upcoming Free Webinar
, oil and gas exploration, and other economic activities. In his research, Dr. Serreze focuses on climate variability and change, with an emphasis on the cryosphere—the world of cold and ice—and the movements of air, water, and energy in its environments. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. "Environmental Impacts of the Arctic's Shrinking Sea-Ice Cover" is the ninth of eleven monthly webinars examining the oceans, the oceans' impact on human life, and human life's impact on the
