Surprisingly little is known about how rain moves through landscapes once it's on the ground. A $3.5 million grant will allow scientists to study the role of plants and microbes in the process.
UArizona researchers are part of a national team analyzing how the practice of growing crops under solar panels can best be implemented across the country.
The National Science Foundation grant will support graduate students working across scientific disciplines on challenges ranging from climate change to sustainable food production.
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.
