Irina Panyushkina grew up in Siberia, hearing stories of explorers trudging through seas of ice to reach the North Pole. She is now a climate scientist trying to understand how a warming world is transforming the place she called home.

The funding will allow for upgrades to the College of Engineering's wind tunnels, strengthening the University of Arizona'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.

The grant will be split equally between Health Sciences scholarships and the UArizona BIO5 Institute's KEYS Internship Program.

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.

Marcia Rieke led the development of one of Webb's powerful infrared cameras. George leads the science team for another instrument on board. Both are Regents Professors at UArizona.

The University of Arizona has joined a collaboration with Space Trust – a nongovernmental organization based in the United Kingdom – and the University of Nairobi in Kenya to develop a series of Earth-orbiting spacecraft built by university students.

To paint a clearer picture of how global climate change affects Earth's ecosystems, conducted an unparalleled experiment: forcing the world's only enclosed rainforest – housed in Biosphere 2 – through a four-month-long controlled drought and recovery.
