change to devastating weather how do scientists know if climate change made a heat wave extreme storm or wildfire worse when a devastating heat wave hurricane flood or wildfire strikes people often want to know how much did human caused climate change influence this event if at all for many years scientists could answer that question only in general terms they knew that human caused climate change was increasing the frequency or intensity of some kinds of july 27 2026 up up and away weather balloon research boosts transportation planning after a few shots of helium to inflate it a white weather balloon launched from csu s foothills campus thursday and rose to heights of 42 000 feet in the troposphere gathering data needed by the colorado department of transportation to make a variety of decisions about state roadway management then after about an hour floating over northern colorado at the whim of prevailing winds the balloon went pop and its 100 july 22 2026 professor christine chiu and team selected for highly competitive department of energy genesis mission project colorado state university researchers on two different projects were awarded prestigious phase i genesis mission awards from the u s department of energy announced at the genesis mission summit on july 22 in washington d c csu researchers will lead a project to develop a first of its kind data driven ai model to improve understanding of ice containing clouds and precipitation csu expertise will also contribute to a second project focused on optimizing remote power grids the genesis using weather satellite observations and ai to study hurricanes alum muhammad naufal razin uses machine learning to identify precipitating cloud types from weather satellite observations of hurricanes or tropical cyclones the work provides a tool that could help us study the relationship between precipitating cloud types and tropical cyclone intensity and structure said razin razin is a research scientist at colorado state university s cooperative institute for research in the atmosphere working with csu professor michael bell and noaa nesdis physical scientist july 8 2026 welcome to assistant professor dave bonan david bonan will be joining our department as an assistant professor in january of 2027 bonan brings extensive expertise in climate dynamics focusing on the atmosphere and ocean and their interactions with the cryosphere and land he uses a hierarchy of models and data science tools i am excited for the new directions in climate dynamics across multiple scales that dave will bring to our department and curriculum said department head eric maloney and also his june 11 2026 colorado climate center supports state through alarming drought conditions with three quarters of the state in severe drought colorado s drought task force is leaning on russ schumacher atmospheric science professor at colorado state university for regular updates on statewide conditions governor jared polis issued a statewide drought emergency proclamation on june 4 based on the task force s recommendation the designation gives him the ability to request a federal disaster declaration and use emergency
