After temporarily closing due to COVID-19, Biosphere 2 is now welcoming visitors to tour the world-class research facility safely and at their own pace, using the updated Biosphere 2 Experience app.
A new virtual program brings Biosphere 2 science and scientists to student groups wherever they may be on the first biosphere – planet Earth.
Tropical forests may be more resilient to climate change than previously thought, according to a new study. The results could help make climate prediction models more accurate.
An experiment at Biosphere 2 forced the “hottest tropical rainforest in the world” through a controlled drought and recovery to see how climate change will affect Earth’s ecosystems.
Drought will soon descend on the University of Arizona’s Biosphere 2 rain forest, and an international research team will be ready with an array of instruments to record what unfurls under the glass.
A paper published in Nature Sustainability presents the first field-data assessment of outcomes of a multi-year study of agrivoltaics in dryland regions.
Ten students from Japan and Arizona gathered for the first official Space Camp Biosphere 2, where they designed Biosphere 3 to sustain human life on Mars.
Inside the iconic structure far from the UA's main campus, it's all about the science. Climate change researcher Tyeen Taylor uses the simulation rainforest to study botanical volatiles, looking for clues to how plants manage high temperatures and drought. With UANews video.
