Climate change is causing yellow cedar decline

October 7, 2019

Brian Buma has been tracking yellow cedar’s decline. He’s an ecologist at the University of Colorado. He says researchers don’t understand why some stands of yellow cedar have been resilient to warming and others have not. Still, Buma says, the decision not to list it shouldn’t be a reflection of the tree’s long term status.
“It’s not a clean bill of health,” Buma said. “Them saying, ‘It’s not listed,’ I’m afraid people will see that and say, ‘Oh, it’s fine.’ And it’s not fine.” Buma says yellow cedar might not go extinct in the next 20 years or so. But the tree’s decline is expected to continue as the temperature warms.

Professor pushes for more proactive ways to fight wildfires

October 14, 2019

“If it burns, we rebuild it, we fight back, and it’s a very human thing to do,” says Brian Buma, a professor at CU Denver.
Buma is trying to get people to think differently about fires, especially because he says there will be more of them.
“The problem is, we have an ecosystem that is highly flammable, many years, and we have a lot of people living in it. That’s compounded by the fact that the climate is warming up, things are getting dryer, things are getting more flammable,” says Buma.

‘Redshirting’ your kindergartner: Is it the right choice in the long run?

October 8, 2019

The term “redshirting” originally referred to college athletes who sat out their first year to work on their skills without affecting their eligibility. The intent is similar for would-be kindergartners: By providing younger kids an extra year to develop physically, socially and emotionally, the expectation is that they’ll be better equipped to succeed. “No matter when you set it, you’re always going to have a classroom of kids who have at least 12 months of developmental difference,” says Kristie Kauerz, who directs the National P-3 Center at the School of Education and Human Development at the University of Colorado at Denver.

When a bad reputation can be good for firms

October 2, 2019

When it comes to making mistakes, organizations with bad reputations often get a pass from journalists.
"The more you’re known for doing bad things, the less interesting it becomes when you do another bad thing. And that’s why it doesn’t get covered,” said David Chandler of the University of Colorado Denver. Chandler coauthored “When Is it Good to be Bad? Contrasting Effects of Multiple Reputations for Bad Behavior on Media Coverage of Serious Organizational Errors."

Initiative 300 was voted down in Denver. Now what?

October 4, 2019

Residents voted overwhelmingly against a first-of-its-kind “Right to Survive” measure designed in part to overturn Denver’s seven-year-old ban on camping in tents and sleeping bags in public areas. Ballot measure advocates collaborated with researchers at the University of Colorado Denver on a study that found the ban exacerbates medical problems experienced by those living on the streets by prohibiting any form of cover from the elements, forcing people into unsafe areas and not allowing them to sleep soundly.

Planters on Brighton Boulevard aren’t just for show, they’re keeping garbage out of waterways

October 4, 2019

Many small pieces of green infrastructure, including trees, represent a new way of thinking about urban drainage projects, said Austin Troy, chair of the University of Colorado Denver’s Urban and Regional Planning.
“It’s commonly accepted across the country now that these types of treatments taken together are considered to be definitely a preferable alternative as opposed to the standard big detention basins and culverts,” Troy said.

‘Redshirting’ your kindergartner: Is it the right choice in the long run?

October 8, 2019

Although most states require children entering kindergarten to turn 5 by late summer or early fall, some, such as Connecticut, set the date as late as Jan. 1 of the kindergarten school year, meaning some kids are 4 when they start.
“No matter when you set it, you’re always going to have a classroom of kids who have at least 12 months of developmental difference,” says Kristie Kauerz, who directs the National P-3 Center at the School of Education and Human Development at the University of Colorado at Denver.
