Researchers have investigated how human activities impact Earth's deep subsurface, a zone hundreds of meters to several kilometers beneath the planet's surface.

A desert ocean, Martian park and the hottest rainforest canopy on Earth can all be found at Biosphere 2, where researchers are studying the effects of climate change and exploring solutions for a better future.

Arizona is the only institution with two projects chosen for pilot program that pairs research teams with entrepreneurial experts in effort to establish long-term financial viability

A UArizona geologist and research team used the movement of one of Earth's tectonic plates to learn more about the planet's past and what's happening in the mantle below.

The mystery of how Pluto got a giant heart-shaped feature on its surface has finally been solved by an international team of astrophysicists. According to simulations, a collision between Pluto and a planetary body that happened relatively slowly and at an oblique angle left the impactor "splatted" onto Pluto's surface. The findings also cast doubt on the existence of a subsurface ocean on Pluto, as was previously speculated.

UArizona scientists mapped the moon for the Apollo missions. Now, as NASA astronauts prepare to return to the moon, two of the three instruments they'll bring have UArizona ties. The instruments will allow them to map moonquakes and the moon's subsurface.

New findings by UArizona researchers offer important insights into the evolution of the lunar interior, and potentially for planets such as Earth and Mars.

Sociologist Charles Gomez is assessing scientific inequity across the globe, how international tensions influence AI research and the implications for international politics. 

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of researchers hopes to be the first to prove the existence of a “water world.”

The invitation highlights the university’s leadership role in space and national security.
