CU-Boulder scientists study air ripples from wind turbines
Posted by Daily Camera: None Given on April 30th, 2011
Daily Camera: A new University of Colorado research project is designed to improve the efficiency of wind turbines. The University of Colorado is looking into ways to make wind turbine technology more efficient and perhaps less costly. A new project spearheaded by Julie Lundquist, an assistant professor in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department, considers the wakes of invisible ripples that turbines create. Understanding how the wakes move and how they are shaped will allow scientists to better determine...

CU-Boulder: Climate change may elevate zinc in waterways

Daily Camera: Rising concentrations of zinc in a waterway on Colorado's Western Slope may be the result of climate change that is affecting the timing of annual snowmelt, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The study focused on the Snake River watershed just west of the Continental Divide near Keystone, where CU researchers have observed a four-fold increase in dissolved zinc over the last 30 years during the lowest water flow months, said Caitlin Crouch.
Crouch, a master's...
