21:14

Imagine being a sailor in the 1700s and suddenly in the pitch black of the night, the sea begins to glow a fluorescent green, illuminating the ocean like a giant nightlight. Today, this peculiar occurrence is known as “milky seas,” but more than 300 years later researchers still don’t know much more about the phenomenon than those sailors did. Now Colorado State University researcher Justin Hudson is using centuries worth of sea captain diaries and deck logs, coupled with satellite imagery, to help solve this maritime mystery.…

In 2020, after burning for three months, the Cameron Peak Fire scorched more than 200,000 acres, making it the largest wildfire in Colorado history. Five years later, and more than a thousand miles away, a series of devastating wildfires continues to burn in Los Angeles. Anne Mook, senior team scientist at CSU's Institute for Research in the Social Sciences, along with Pilar Morales-Giner, a postdoctoral researcher at Spain's University of Granada, spoke with The Audit about their recently published research on the deeper impact wildfires can have on communities using the Cameron Peak Fire as a test case.

It may not be considered "polite conversation," but Jordan Kraft Lambert thinks we all need to be talking more about poop. In fact, the director of ag innovation at CSU’s Spur campus has made it her mission to bring this and other “icky” topics to the table – figuratively and literally. Lambert spoke with CSU's The Audit podcast about how poop is actually a pretty powerful commodity, and why liver gets such a bad (and largely undeserved) rap.…

Fifty years ago, the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons was created, and despite some initial controversies, it has endured to become a beloved pastime and cultural touchstone for many. But for Colorado State University political science instructor James “Pigeon” Fielder, it’s much more than that. To Fielder, D&D — as it’s more commonly known — is a master class in political strategy, everything from diplomacy to alliance forming to conflict resolution. Fielder recently spoke to CSU's The Audit about what a fantasy game filled with sorcerers, warlocks and wizards can teach our political leaders and how it might benefit them — and us — if they started to wage a very different kind of campaign.…

Comedians have been joking about politics for probably as long as there have been politicians. But in the past few years, there's been a noticeable shift in political comedy. No longer just a spotlight for the Democrats, more and more conservatives are getting in on the act, too, from the rise of comic and podcaster Joe Rogan to Fox's answer to “The Daily Show,” "Gutfeld," right-wing conservative comedy is on the rise. Colorado State University Associate Professor Nick Marx researches media industries and American politics and culture and is the coauthor of the book "That's Not Funny How the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them."

Is putting a price on nature the key to creating a greener economy? 21:31

21:31

Can you put a price on nature? Or maybe the better question is, should you put a price on nature? It may sound like a bizarre concept, but it’s one that renowned environmental economist Ed Barbier says could be key to saving the planet. Barbier is a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Economics at Colorado State University, as well as a Senior Scholar in the School of Global Environmental Sustainability. His main expertise is natural resource and development economics and the interface between economics and ecology. He’s also the author of several books, including “Economics for a Fragile Planet: Rethinking Markets, Institutions and Governance,” which offers a blueprint for a greener and more inclusive economy. In that book, Barbier writes that managing an increasingly delicate ecosystem requires us to rethink the “underpricing” of nature, and to decouple wealth creation from environmental degradation through business, policy and financial actions aimed at better stewardship. Barbier recently spoke with CSU's The Audit about what a green economy looks like and how he believes we can get there.…

Eye of the hurricane: How did the preeminent hurricane research center arrive at a landlocked university? 19:32

48 weeks ago19:32

19:32

Despite its landlocked location, Colorado State University is well known all along the Atlantic coast for its seasonal hurricane forecasts . Each spring, these forecasts predict the total amount and potential strength of storms for the upcoming hurricane season. The forecasts were first developed and shared by pioneering atmospheric science researcher William Gray , and are frequently used by media, officials and community leaders to inform the public and make planning decisions. Today, Gray’s former grad student Phil Klotzbach leads the effort to inform communities up and down the East Coast of the dangers the upcoming season presents. Klotzbach is a senior research scientist for the Department of Atmospheric Science within the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering, and along with a team of students, faculty and research staff, has authored the forecasts since 2006. In late June, Klotzbach spoke to CSU’s The Audit about the University’s role in developing hurricane research, the increase in hurricane activity and destructiveness over the years, and what we can expect in terms of size and scale for future hurricane seasons.…

'Othello' to pizzagate: How social media misinformation plays out like a Shakespearean tragedy 25:49

1 year ago25:49

25:49

In March, a New York state judge ruled that a lawsuit could go forward against several social media companies alleging that the platforms contributed to the radicalization of a gunman who killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York in 2022. The lawsuit claims companies like Meta, Reddit and 4Chan “profit from the racist, antisemitic and violent material displayed on their platforms in order to maximize user engagement.” However, the platforms say they are instead merely message boards containing third-party content and should not be held liable for what others post. While the case itself won’t likely see the inside of a courtroom for years, it has sparked a debate on just how culpable - and calculating - social media platforms really are. Hamed Qahri-Saremi is an Assistant Professor of Computer Information Systems in Colorado State University’s College of Business. He recently collaborated on a new theory that social media misinformation might actually be taking a page from Shakespearean tragedies .…

More than 20 years after the Enron scandal, what have we learned? 18:15

1 year ago18:15

18:15

Accounting may not be the sexiest topic but in the early 2000s everyone was talking about it after the energy company Enron was found to have committed widespread accounting fraud. Hiding billions of debt, Enron and its accounting firm Arthur Anderson misled Enron's board of directors and its shareholders, who eventually filed a $40 billion lawsuit against the company. In addition to causing the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history, the fallout from the Enron scandal sent shock waves through the financial system, leading to calls for new regulation to ensure better accuracy and accountability in financial reporting for publicly traded companies. And so, the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or SOX Act for short, was enacted. More than 20 years later, Colorado State University assistant accounting professors Eric Lohwasser and Michelle Draeger have researched the effectiveness of the SOX Act, as well as some of its unintended consequences.…

From the Colorado River Compact to Lake Mead, how CSU’s water archivist curates Colorado’s complicated history 16:56

16:56

On the second floor of Colorado State University’s Morgan Library, there are hundreds of boxes and stacks of books all dedicated to just one topic — water. There’s a copy of the Colorado River Compact , the landmark document that governs how the seven states that make up the Colorado River basin allocate its water. There are letters regarding Elwood Mead — Lake Mead’s namesake — who developed the country’s first irrigation engineering class while a faculty member at CSU before going on to oversee the construction of the Hoover Dam. There are also documents that point to the destructive power of water, such as photographs of the damage from the 1997 Spring Creek flood , which put much of CSU’s campus under several feet of water and caused more than $140 million in damage to the campus. Each marks a moment in Colorado’s long and complicated water history. And it's all just a part of CSU’s Water Resources Archive . Created in 2001 as a joint effort of the University Libraries and the Colorado Water Center , the archive features historic documents related to Colorado's water resources. Patty Rettig has been the head archivist for the program since it began, building the collections that, at last count, totaled an estimated 3 million items — from maps and photos to meeting minutes and contracts. Rettig recently spoke on CSU’s The Audit podcast about her role and the importance of preserving the state’s water heritage.…

It's an indelible moment that poses the question: Is democracy in danger? On Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol. Inside, they roamed the historic halls, ransacking offices and searching for lawmakers. Outside, they were smashing news cameras. It was the height of a cycle of polarization and distrust in some of the strongest examples of democracy that we have, free and fair elections and free speech. Dominik Stecula is an assistant professor of political science at Colorado State University. His research focuses on the intersection of political communication, political behavior and science communication in the American media.
