For decades, economists have focused on how climate change will impact the future. New research from Derek Lemoine, APS Professor of Economics in the Eller College of Management, shows the impact is already here: climate change has reduced U.S. income by an estimated 12%.

Since 2016, the WEST Center has provided unique access to technologies and equipment allowing for innovative research related to water, wastewater, and energy.

The negative health impacts from contamination by so-called "forever chemicals" in drinking water costs the contiguous U.S. at least $8 billion a year in social costs, a University of Arizona-led study has found.

"Native voices should be heard and uplifted all the time- but I think for this month specifically, it’s a time for us Native folks to highlight all the cool stuff we’re doing."

Few ideas in science have been tested and confirmed as thoroughly as evolution by natural selection. Whether the same process can explain global patterns of biodiversity, however – why most species are restricted to certain environments while a few outliers seem to be found everywhere – remains largely uncertain.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to adapting and building resilience to climate change, but a new study led by the University of Michigan offers three generalized pathways to help climate knowledge achieve its maximum impact.

In the small town of Patagonia, Arizona, nestled in the rolling hills south of Tucson, water has long been both a defining feature and a pressing concern.

In the middle of a Tucson summer, the stretch of Oracle Road between Prince and River roads might just be the worst place to hang out all day. There is little shade to hide from the unforgiving sun. And the urban environment, with all its cars and asphalt, soaks up the sunlight and traps the heat for hours.

University of Arizona researchers are looking for ways to protect the state’s water future, including plans to treat and desalinate wastewater for new use through a reverse osmosis system spearheaded by the Arizona Institute for Resilience's Water & Energy Sustainable Technology Center.

Two University of Arizona faculty members, including an AIR program director, were selected for 2025 Fulbright Specialist Awards from the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.
