March 18, 2022 Star-sized debris cloud from distant collision spotted by NASA telescope Most of the rocky bodies in our solar system were formed or shaped by massive collisions early in the solar system's history. A newly observed dust cloud from a similar crash offers clues about how often these events occur around other stars.
March 16, 2022 Women in climate change: Courtney Crosson UArizona is celebrating Women's History Month by highlighting some of the many women on campus working on climate change-related issues in hopes of creating a better future.
March 14, 2022 Fast-melting alpine permafrost may contribute to rising global temperatures Alpine permafrost, which is found closer to the equator at high elevations, is expected to melt at a faster rate than arctic permafrost under current global warming conditions, according to new research.
March 2, 2022 UArizona climate adaptation experts contribute to latest IPCC climate report The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change this week released a new report focused on climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. Two UArizona experts contributed.
Feb. 14, 2022 $7.5M effort seeks to prevent lunar traffic jams With $7.5 million from the Air Force Research Laboratory, UArizona researchers are developing ways to detect, characterize and track objects in cislunar space, or the space between Earth and the moon.
Feb. 11, 2022 Undernourished infants at risk for lung restriction, weaker health as adults A UArizona Health Sciences-led study identified poor childhood nutrition and growth as risk factors for lung disease and weaker health as an adult.
Feb. 9, 2022 Researchers identify brain region associated with feeling full after eating Researchers have learned more about the part of the brain that mediates satiation. This could help lead to better treatments for eating disorders and weight management.
Feb. 4, 2022 Study finds large new source of greenhouse gas emissions Researchers discovered hundreds of large bursts of methane from oil and gas production activities across the globe. The bursts account for 10% of global oil and gas methane emissions and are missing from most greenhouse gas emissions inventories.
Feb. 1, 2022 It takes a special kind of planet to make a moon Moons around terrestrial planets may play important roles in shaping the conditions for life. For sizable moons to form successfully, the circumstances must be just right, a new study finds.
Jan. 26, 2022 Future forests will have smaller trees and soak up less carbon, study suggests By combining tree-ring data with U.S. Forest Service data, UArizona researchers have captured a more complete picture of what will drive future tree growth amid climate change. They predict individual tree growth will decline by as much as 91%.
