What data teaches about flood forecasting: NAU researcher co-leading crowdsourced app to gauge flood water

Posted by chris_heiser on July 22, 2019

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), flooding is the most damaging natural hazard in the world, and most flood damage occurs in cities. As exemplified by Hurricane Harvey in 2017, this damage is projected to rapidly increase, both due to increasing extreme precipitation events and urban sprawl into marshes and floodplains—so it is critical that cities learn to… Read more

NAU achieves top 100 in national research rankings

Posted by chris_heiser on

Northern Arizona University hit the top 100 for the first time, moving to No. 96 in the National Science Foundation’s latest national research rankings of universities without a medical school. NAU also moved to No. 201 for all universities in the United States, a new high for the university, up from No. 213 in 2016.

The NSF’s annual ranking of U.S.… Read more

Feb. 12, 2019

For many Americans, having 24/7 access to fast, easy, affordable Internet connectivity is a ubiquitous part of daily life. Because Internet providers are not financially motivated to invest in the infrastructure required to provide access in remote, rural regions, however—especially for thousands of Indigenous people living on tribal lands in the United States and Canada—Internet connectivity there often… Read more

Data scientists mapped supply chains of every U.S. city. What it says is bigger than just where your food comes from.

April 29, 2019

No matter where you are in the United States, some food in your kitchen probably started its life in Fresno, California.

How do you know? Vegetables, like every other product, follow a supply chain that moves it from where it’s grown to where it’s used. That supply chain can be tracked through data, and that data… Read more

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

Posted by chris_heiser on

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
