Researchers examined teeth and skulls of 99 extinct crocodylomorph species and 20 living crocodylian species to reconstruct the dietary ecology of crocodylomorphs to identify characteristics that helped some groups persist through two mass extinctions.
New research debuts a powerful remote-sensing dataset that for the first time, informs the timing and magnitude of dust deposition and impacts on snowmelt rates across the Colorado Basin, in real time. The study鈥檚 insights could improve forecasting and water allocation for a system under extreme pressure from changing climate and populations.
Woodrats are basically desert superheroes, able to eat toxic plants and survive rattlesnake bites. But researchers from the University of Utah and University of Michigan have found their venom resistance drops when it鈥檚 cold.
Under Yellowstone lies a magma-filled formation that drives the national park鈥檚 famous geysers and other hydrothermal features. New research conducted by University of Utah geoscientists has located the top of the chamber 3.8 kilometers below Earth鈥檚 surface and characterized the upper reservoir鈥檚 structure, offering fresh insights into the risk of future eruptions.
Utah's locally sourced dust pollution carries far more hazardous elements than natural dust blown in from Great Basin, potentially threatening Salt Lake City鈥� water supplies, according to new research led by University of Utah.
University of Utah anthropologists with the Natural History Museum of Utah uncover microscopic plant residues in bedrock metates, revealing insights into the diets and traditions of ancient Indigenous communities.
The EPA鈥檚 network consistently failed to capture air quality in communities of color across six major pollutants. The monitors are the key data source driving decisions about pollution reduction, urban planning and public health initiatives. The data may misrepresent pollution concentrations, leaving marginalized groups at risk.
Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant鈥檚 teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. University of Utah geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or tusks reveal where large plant-eating animals may have roamed.
Researchers from the University of Utah and University of California set out to compare how freeway emissions trends differed in their states鈥� largest metropolitan areas, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
The more powerful they get, traditional curved lenses used in telescopes become bigger and bulkier. University of聽Utah engineers have created the first flat telescope lens that can capture color while detecting light from faraway stars.
A robotic device developed by University of Utah engineers allows eye surgeons to perform high-precision procedures on the retina, the fragile lining on the back of the eye that is less than a millimeter thick.
New research from USC and University of Utah suggests the surface of 鈥渓ibrating鈥� inner core is deformed from contact with turbulent liquid outer core.
Mass deportation of undocumented immigrants has been touted by the incoming Trump administration as a way to increase jobs for U.S. citizens and reduce housing costs. But a new study by University of Utah business scholar concludes such a policy would likely backfire because it would drain the construction workforce, significantly slowing an already sluggish rate of new residential construction.
University of Utah atmospheric scientists show proposed "geoengineering" effort to remove methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere could worse air quality while providing minimal climate benefits.
A first-of-its-kind study found subtle, but distinct vowel pronunciations in Pacific Islanders attending more diverse schools in Utah compared to students in a predominately white high school, confirming the theory that groups to differentiate along ethnic lines where more groups share the same social space.
Pioneering researchers of self-generated spin torques have discovered a new one, anomalous Hall torque, that completes a triad of torques likely present in all conductive spintronic materials. Dubbed the Universal Hall Torques, the triad have unique spin behavior favorable to cutting-edge technologies, like human brain-inspired computing that processes massive amounts of data with much greater efficiency.
As creosote spread across the American Southwest 20,000 years ago, natural selection favored changes that led to duplicating genes that produce an abundance of detox enzymes. Gene duplication is likely the first step that enables animals to rapidly adapt to new environmental pressure, a notion challenging conventional wisdom.
Coyote numbers are often higher in areas where they are hunted, according to new research from University of Utah. These counterintuitive findings are based on images from hundreds of trap cameras deployed in nationwide campaign to document wildlife.
Using Census data, University of Utah researchers untangle interplay between urban development patterns and socioeconomic outcomes, revealing non-affluent people who grow up in high-sprawl neighborhoods has less earning potential that those who grow up in denser, more walkable areas.
Meta-analysis of past studies by University of Utah researchers calculates reduced risk of certain cancers for coffee and tea drinkers.
