A UArizona study argues that the primary driver of rivers dumping freshwater and heat into the Arctic where it melts ice is driven by the degradation of the permafrost – or frozen ground, as well as forest fires across southern Siberia. Understanding river flow changes is important for regulating and managing Arctic commerce and ecosystems as the region is opened up to new shipping routes.
The funding will allow for upgrades to the College of Engineering's wind tunnels, strengthening UArizona’s position as an academic leader in hypersonics research.
Using observations of the nearby elliptical galaxy Centaurus A, a team of astronomers found an unprecedented number of possible globular clusters – old, dense groups of thousands of stars that all formed at the same time.
Most scientists researching California's extreme weather have focused their investigations on the last decade. But new UArizona research finds that an increasing trend in extreme weather began half a century ago.
In response to the omicron variant of COVID-19, the university has revised its face coverings policy and is continuing to urge testing and vaccination as the spring semester gets underway.

The University of Arizona's research and development expenditures rank in the top 4% of all U.S. universities and No. 1 in astronomy and astrophysics, according to fiscal year 2020 data from the National Science Foundation.
University of Arizona astronomers will help NASA's James Webb Space Telescope peer deeper into the universe than any telescope in history. Webb successfully launched on Christmas Day.
Researchers have identified the first signature of a magnetic field surrounding a planet outside of our solar system. Earth's magnetic field acts as a shield against energetic particles from the sun known as the solar wind. Magnetic fields could play similar roles on other planets.
