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.
Hurricanes and tropical storms are slowing down and dumping more water in the process. At-risk communities could use new research findings to prepare for future disasters.
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.
A new UArizona-led study uses big data to assess why the diversity of species varies across the globe. What researchers learned changes our understanding of future diversity in a warming world.
For the fifth consecutive year, UArizona is ranked No. 1 in the U.S. in water resources in ShanghaiRanking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects.
The National Science Foundation has awarded nearly $2 million to a team of researchers to develop a virtual reality tool that teaches about climate change in the Arctic.
Runoff from melting snow is an essential water resource for many communities and ecosystems, but when snow melts too rapidly in a short time, it can be destructive. To better understand the processes that drive such melting, researchers mapped extreme snowmelt events over 30 years.
Synthetic chemicals known as PFAS not only pose a long-term threat to groundwater quality, but also a long-term challenge to scientists tasked with cleaning them up.
