UArizona is No. 9 on the agency's Top 30 College & University list of the largest green power users. The ranking recognizes UArizona's Large Scale Renewable Energy agreement with Tucson Electric Power Co.
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.
HydroGEN, a UArizona-led project funded by the National Science Foundation's Convergence Accelerator program, will allow researchers to build a national platform for hydrologic forecasting.
Beneath Earth's surface is a vibrant world of life unlike any other, and researchers hope to dig into its secrets by partnering with companies that drill up to thousands of feet deep.
New research suggests that the volume of salty water 2 to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) beneath the Earth's surface is double previous estimates. The water could store waste fluids, sequester carbon and direct our search for extraterrestrial life.
