A UArizona undergraduate looked at cities as living things to investigate how human energy use changes with rising temperatures. Her research could help save lives from heat waves.
Wastewater-based epidemiology's potential was brought to bear during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, it could help public health officials get ahead of the drug-resistant fungus Candida auris.
Part of the Arizona Experiment Station system, the Santa Rita Experimental Range is one of the longest continuously operating research areas in the world and is responsible for one of the richest publicly available ecological data sets.
As spring blooms across much of Arizona, university researchers are launching a community health effort with a unique call to the public: Send us your ticks. The Great Arizona Tick Check will help researchers build the first-ever database of tick distribution and correlated disease in Arizona.
An open-air, living laboratory that spans parts of Arizona and New Mexico is helping researchers better understand how mineral weathering – the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals over time – feeds into Earth's intricate life-support system.
Five UArizona faculty members have been named AAAS Fellows, a distinct honor in the scientific community bestowed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. From using microbes to combat allergies to turning insects into food, the university's newest AAAS Fellows represent a broad range of research expertise.
Known as the "King of Sting," Justin Schmidt has dedicated his life to the study of insects, mostly the stinging kind. In a recent paper, he explores giant velvet mites – elusive creatures of the arachnid family. Among his discoveries: Virtually no one wants to eat them, suggesting the mites have to contend with few, if any, predators.
The Arizona Partnership for Climate-Smart Food Crops will promote climate-smart food production practices and help farmers reduce water consumption and carbon emissions.
