<p>It’s no secret that Mars is a beaten and battered planet -- astronomers have been peering for centuries at the violent impact craters created by cosmic buckshot pounding its surface over billions of years. But just how beat up is it?</p>

&����;��&����;��&����;/��&����;
<p>Increases in the diversity of parasites that attack amphibians cause a decrease in the infection success rate of virulent parasites, including one that causes malformed limbs and premature death, says a new �ֲ���ý study.</p>

<p>Assistant Professor Paul Romatschke of the �ֲ���ý physics department will receive a five-year, $750,000 grant as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Early Career Research Program created to bolster the nation’s scientific workforce with top young researchers.</p>
<p>Romatschke was among 68 winners selected nationwide from a pool of 850 applicants from universities and national laboratories</p>

<p>A revolutionary research and teaching facility opening at the �ֲ���ý will facilitate work on a wide swath of pressing societal challenges ranging from biomedical issues like cancer, heart disease and tissue engineering to the development of new biofuels.</p>

<p>A �ֲ���ý-led team has developed a new monitoring system to analyze and compare emissions from man-made fossil fuels and trace gases in the atmosphere, a technique that likely could be used to monitor the effectiveness of measures regulating greenhouse gases.</p>

<p>Like snow sliding off a roof on a sunny day, the Greenland Ice Sheet may be sliding faster into the ocean due to massive releases of meltwater from surface lakes, according to a new study by the �ֲ���ý-based Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences.</p>

<p>�ֲ���ý students, along with experts from government and industry, will focus on student research and the natural gas boom during the third annual Energy Frontiers conference April 5.</p>
<p>The event, organized by the CU Energy Club, is free and open to the public and will be held from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom of the University Memorial Center. The conference includes a poster session, panel discussion, catered lunch and a career fair.</p>

<p>The �ֲ���ý will test the Campus Alerts text-messaging system on Tuesday, April 3, at noon in coordination with the annual flood siren testing, which begins Monday, April 2.</p>
<p>“We’re raising awareness that the city of �ֲ���ý has the highest risk of flash flooding in Colorado because of its location at the mouth of �ֲ���ý Canyon, the number of people who live and work within the �ֲ���ý Creek floodplain, and the numerous other drainage basins running through the city,” said Lacey Croco, CU-�ֲ���ý emergency manager.</p>

<p>Long thought to produce only one generation of tree-killing offspring annually, some populations of mountain pine beetles now produce two generations per year, dramatically increasing the potential for the bugs to kill lodgepole and ponderosa pine trees, �ֲ���ý researchers have found.</p>
