Crystal Hepp

Illnesses from mosquito bites have tripled in the United States since 2004, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Northern Arizona University evolutionary biologist Crystal Hepp is on the front lines of fighting mosquito-borne pathogens in the region. She recently received a New Investigator Award grant—$75,000 per year for three years—from the Arizona Biomedical Research Centre… Read more

How does snowmelt in the Rockies affect diners in New York? NAU data mapper part of national study to make those connections

Posted by chris_heiser on

Ben Ruddell, Director and Associate Professor

Experts estimate that snowmelt accounts for as much as 75 percent of water supplies in the western United States. As the climate warms, however, it’s not hard to imagine a future when declining snowpack on western mountain ranges means less snowmelt. Scientists and water managers have already seen worrying changes in the… Read more

Saving the green: NAU students gain real-world experience analyzing university data for inefficiencies in energy, resource use

Posted by chris_heiser on

As utility customers go, Northern Arizona University is complicated.

The dozens of buildings serve thousands of students, faculty and staff in a variety of ways—there are places to work, study, live, do experiments, play, eat and more. The campus is filled with people from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but activity doesn’t end with a traditional workday. Even the work done on campus… 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
