April 18, 2022 UArizona students awarded NSF Graduate Research Fellowships The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in STEM disciplines.
April 11, 2022 Study: Climatic variability might not drive evolutionary change as much as previously thought A study combining climate change records with fossil evidence of mammals in Africa reveals that times of erratic climate change are not followed by major upheavals in evolution.
March 31, 2022 Increased heat and drought stunt tropical trees, a major carbon sink UArizona researchers were leaders in a worldwide effort to understand tropical trees and their futures under climate change. They found that heat and drought slow the growth of these trees, which are major carbon dioxide absorbers.
March 30, 2022 Women in climate change: Jessica Tierney Jessica Tierney is a contributing author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report. She studies past climate change to help society better prepare for the future.
March 29, 2022 Women in climate change: Theresa Crimmins As director of the USA National Phenology Network, Theresa Crimmins engages scientists, natural resource managers and volunteers nationwide in tracking when plants and animals undergo seasonal life cycle events.
March 23, 2022 Women in climate change: Kirsten Engel Kirsten Engel researches how, why and when state and local climate policies spread to other jurisdictions or to the federal government.
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.
