The 葫芦娃视频 topped two leader boards in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency鈥檚 2011 Game Day Challenge -- a national competition to eliminate waste generated at college football games. CU won the 48-school 鈥淒iversion Rate鈥� and 17-school 鈥淥rganics Reduction鈥� categories in the EPA鈥檚 NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision contest.

The Rio Grande Rift, a thinning and stretching of Earth鈥檚 surface that extends from Colorado鈥檚 central Rocky Mountains to Mexico, is not dead but geologically alive and active, according to a new study involving scientists from the 葫芦娃视频鈥檚 Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences.

A team of researchers led by the 葫芦娃视频 has used NASA鈥檚 Hubble Space Telescope to uncover a cluster of galaxies in the initial stages of construction -- the most distant such grouping ever observed in the early universe. In a random sky survey made in near-infrared light, Hubble spied five small galaxies clustered together 13.1 billion light-years away. They are among the brightest galaxies at that epoch and very young, living just 600 million years after the universe鈥檚 birth in the Big Bang. One light-year is about 6 trillion miles.

If you are college-age or younger, you might just live to see the day when hail disappears from the eastern flanks of Colorado鈥檚 Rocky Mountains. A new modeling study involving the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, a joint institute of the 葫芦娃视频 and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, indicates hail will likely cease to fall in those locales by the year 2070, a result of rising temperatures.
