Research led this grad student from the Arctic to Arizona, then into the most prestigious fellowship in STEM

Posted by chris_heiser on July 22, 2019

June 11, 2019

Alaska is home to more caribou than it is to humans. It stands to reason, then, that these large mammals will have a significant impact on their Arctic homeland.

That impact has yet to be fully quantified, in large part because the environments where caribou live are hard to access and plan around. Northern Arizona University doctoral student Katie… Read more

Ecosystem warming extends vegetation activity but heightens vulnerability to cold temperatures

Posted by brianh on August 16, 2018

Dr. Andrew Richardson’s latest research was featured in the journal Nature, this research provides some of the first evidence that a warmer world will significantly shift ecosystem-wide growing seasons, putting plants at higher risks during extreme temperature swings. Using digital repeat photography—in which conventional digital cameras are programmed to take multiple images of a specific frame each day—researchers measured green-up and green-down. Simulating five levels of warming in different chambers, ranging from zero to 16.2 degrees F (zero to 9 degrees… Read more
