Program will incorporate learning activities that focus on math and computational thinking to prepare K-5 students for STEM fields
Native Americans are one of the least represented populations when it comes to participation in the field of computer science (CS). Moreover, Native American participation in science, technology,… Read more
Award will also fund development of STEM program leveraging visualization and storytelling to show the ‘hidden beauty’ in fluid mechanics computer modeling
Accurately measuring blood flow is critical to the fundamental understanding of cardiovascular disease and clinical decision making. Although researchers have made great strides in computational and experimental blood flow modeling, reliable… Read more
Funded by an NSF grant, team uses interdisciplinary approaches to better analyze complex issues across the world’s largest terrestrial transboundary conservation area
Human-wildlife conflict is a central issue in the conservation sciences. Whether it be reintroducing wolves into key ecosystems… Read more
The tiny cosmos of organisms living on a streamer of algae in a river—the algal microbiome—could help scientists learn what turns an environment from healthy to toxic and back again. A multidisciplinary team led by Northern Arizona University has won $3 million from the National Science Foundation to translate the codex contained in… Read more
As increasingly severe wildfires burn more of the North American West each year, how people living there use fuel treatments, such as prescribed burns or planting fire-resistant trees around their homes, can determine how destructive fires will be to communities. The National Science… Read more
Project will help train the next generation of Arctic scientists in wildlife ecology, environmental informatics, natural resource management and social science
Wild caribou are the single most important land-based species for both human communities and ecosystems in the Arctic. Abundant across the polar region, these animals play an essential role both as herbivores that impact tundra vegetation and as an important source of food to… Read more
