Thanks for hanging in there through our CIRES ABCs project. We hope you learned a little about CIRES or at least enjoyed the photos by our talented scientists! #ciresabc #science #environment #research #sciencetobenefitsociety cires.colorado.edu
A field of red poppies in the foreground with green hills rising to evergreen trees and the flatirons against a partly cloudy blue sky.
Z is for Zeroing in on solutions: Our research is not just for the sake of science—it's to provide data and insights that help communities, policymakers, and industries make informed decisions for a better future. Thanks for joining us on this tour through CIRES alphabet! buff.ly/pFChHdS #ciresabc

S is for Solid earth: Whether it is understanding geophysical fundamentals of the sub-surface, or identifying geological hazards that pose challenges to society, CIRES researchers observe and explore all components of the solid earth—core, mantle, and crust. buff.ly/tQW7hXH #earth #ciresabc
Q is for air Quality! CIRES has a web page with fire and air quality resources! In this photo, @NOAA.gov and CIRES researchers targeted Salt Lake City’s wintertime air pollution challenges in an aircraft mission in 2017. buff.ly/LHzf7yY Photo: Mateoutah/Flickr #airquality #pollution #ciresabc
8 researchers in red polar gear pull a large instrument out of the ice floe.
We missed the CIRESabc "I"! I is for Instruments 🛠️: This icebreaker ship was frozen into Arctic sea ice and drifted with it for a year so scientists to collect data in every season. Read about MOSAiC here: mosaic.colorado.edu #ciresabc #dontforgeti

P is for Partners! CIRES was created in 1967 as a partnership between the @colorado.edu and @noaa.gov. We have worked with the agency continuously since then. CIRES researchers work on @noaa.sos - Science on a Sphere! #ciresabc #NOAA #CIRES #CIRA cires.colorado.edu/about/partners
N is for News! Read about new CIRES research, ongoing projects, and events. Watch videos highlighting our scientists' work. Explore recent press coverage. Check out the spotlights! The CIRES communication team works hard to tell your story. #ciresabc Link in bio!

K is for Knowledge: Our mission is to advance scientific knowledge and use it to solve some of society's most pressing challenges, from climate change to air quality. This team is setting up a 10m tower to measure the atmosphere at different heights on the ice. buff.ly/RSbb4Zk #ciresabc #arctic

C is for Cryosphere ❄️: Our polar scientists are on the front lines, researching Earth's frozen regions and how melting ice affects the entire planet. Follow us to learn more about our work and how we're making a difference! cires.colorado.edu/area-researc... #ciresabc
B is for Biology & Ecosystems 🌳: Our research explores how living organisms and their #environments are responding to a changing world, from alpine forests to coral reefs and temperate rainforests. buff.ly/sjdwslb #backtoschool #ciresabc
