An international team of researchers is enlisting supercomputing to better predict where plants and animals might end up under the effects of climate change.
Thanks to scientific and technological improvements that UA scientists are helping to advance, the frequency and characteristics of hurricanes are becoming more predictable both seasonally and in the short term.
For decades, William Hubbard, a UA planetary sciences professor, has worked on getting a spacecraft to Jupiter, closer than any have gone before. When NASA's Juno probe fired its main engines to brake while hurtling toward the biggest and baddest planet in our solar system, it marked the beginning of a journey of discovery for Hubbard and his colleagues who can't wait to unlock Jupiter's secrets.
The UA has licensed a new technology for measuring brain chemistry in real-time to startup Knowmad Technologies, developed by Michael Heien, an assistant professor in the UA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and his former postdoc and Knowmad co-founder, Chris Atcherley.
UA scientists traced carbon dioxide flows through a forest during photosynthesis and respiration, and the results could make climate prediction models more accurate.
The native of Cape Verde Islands studied agronomy and plant genetics at the UA, and her sweet-potato research has impacted the lives of children and farmers in Mozambique.
UA scientist Carl Hergenrother tells the whole story of how the space rock originally known as 1999 RQ36 was chosen — by process of elimination — as the destination for the UA-led OSIRIS-REx sample return mission.
