We channeled Archimedes and turned the Olympics into a physics problem.

On the mountainous slopes of Guatemala, coffee fields are threatened by changing rainfall, rising temperature, and a pathogenic fungus called "coffee rust." Tree rings may help scientists understand and address threats to Guatemalan coffee crops.

George Ruyle has been interested in farming and ranching since he was a young boy in Illinois. At the UA, he helps Arizona’s ranching community work with state and federal government to act as stewards of the land.

By developing new ways to use radiocarbon in tree rings, a UA dendrochronologist builds on the legacies of scientists before her, including the famed polymath Andrew Douglass.

Not only is algae inexpensive and low-maintenance, but these UA researchers are using it to make everything from omega-3 supplements to kerosene.

UA scientists are using hundreds of years of tree ring data to empower Guatemalan farmers.

Anthem, AZ serves as a test bed for improving emergency response times by controlling traffic signals.
