UArizona assistant professor Kristopher Klein will serve as the mission's deputy principal investigator.

The College of Science Lecture Series returns in person this month to explore how minerals can reveal secrets of the past, power our present and be sustainably mined in the future.

Members of the France-Arizona Institute for Global Grand Challenges convened on campus this week to reflect on the institute's first year and plan for its future.
