Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infection and Environmental Molybdenum in Persons with Cystic Fibrosis: A Case-Control Study in Colorado
NTM are ubiquitous environmental bacteria that may cause chronic lung disease and are one of the most difficult to treat infections among persons with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). We identified molybdenum in the source water as the most predictive factor of M. abscessus infection among pwCF in Colorado.
Projecting the future of seasonally open Arctic waters
As the Arctic Ocean warms, its open-water season grows longer and its ice-covered season becomes shorter. Our research shows that the average annual open-water period for Arctic waters lengthens by about 1 month for every 1°C of global warming between now and 2100.
Building an international research team to understand lake dissolved oxygen
Team science, open data, and long-term monitoring reveal that the mechanisms behind lake dissolved oxygen declines differ in surface and deep waters.
Economic development and energy demand
In modeling climate change mitigation alongside sustainable economic development, integrated assessment models need to take into account the qualitative features of growth in developing countries, including the massive energy demand that comes along with industrialization
