A new study from Chris Ray & Jasmine Vidrio sounds the alarm for pikas in the Rocky Mountains. Their paper provides the first empirical evidence for a theory long held by wildlife biologists — that pikas are struggling to adapt to warming temperatures

Pikas, which often greet hikers in the Rocky Mountains with loud squeaks, have long been a favorite of visitors to Colorado. A new study suggests that warming

As the arctic warms, phytoplankton 🦠 are revising their seasonal schedule 🗓️ ... but other organisms didn't get the memo in time. A new study from INSTAAR predicts disruptions in the Arctic Ocean's food web by the end of the century. https://t.co/Dmuocy6sr4

Every pika has a voice, and @INSTAAR researchers are learning to recognize it. 🐾 Through “acoustic fingerprinting,” they aim to identify individual pikas and track how these alpine icons adapt to climate change. https://t.co/20PPs5Ok3x

Chris Ray has studied pika populations in the West for nearly four decades. Today, she is collaborating with doctoral student Rachel Mae Billings on a project

#newarticle Ray & Vidrio analyze data from the longest study of American pika population dynamics & find a dramatic decline in juvenile recruitment within a core of the species' range. Warming summers may reduce the successful dispersal of juvenile pikas: https://t.co/JiblgGS55n

When mineralized water drains from an abandoned mine into downstream wetlands, sunlight catalyzes chemical interactions that can both release and store heavy metals. Lauren Magliozzi highlighted her recent analysis of an INSTAAR experiment last week. https://t.co/VeYg2e5Mit

INSTAAR’s Kevin Rozmiarek uses drones to collect Arctic air samples—helping reveal how the Greenland Ice Sheet and methane-rich thermokarst lakes are changing. He was featured in an article covering drone research and operations at CU Boulder. (Free to read, but requires signup)
At the University of Colorado at Boulder, drones are everywhere: monitoring move-in, doing shows during halftime at football games, and assisting in research across a variety of departments.
