High school students have co-authored a scientific paper with their UA graduate student instructor that could have a serious impact on the reliability of climate models. Their work details the impact of shrinkage on dried, fossilized leaves, which often is unaccounted for in climate models. By better accounting for this change in leaf size, researchers can significantly improve the accuracy of their climate models.
Four University of Arizona faculty members have been named 1885 Distinguished Scholars for valued contributions to the teaching, research and outreach missions of the University.
Rafe Sagarin and Eric Magrane discuss observation, art, science, aesthetics, and biomimicry in a wide-ranging conversation on art and environment.
Sharon B. Megdal, director of the UA Water Resources Research Center, WRRC, has been elected president of the National Institutes for Water Resources, NIWR.
UA researchers using a technique called remote sensing have found that a wetter winter usually means a milder summer fire season. In remote sensing, satellites capture reflected sunlight, which can be processed and analyzed to study the Earth. Modeling rainfall and vegetation makes it possible to produce maps that show places at risk for wildfire.
