NAU student researchers seek solutions to environmental challenges
At Northern Arizona University, our students and faculty look for answers to some of our most compelling environmental challenges.
I love being on the cutting edge of research and discovering new things that no one’s ever seen before. Being able to make a difference in the lives of others and reach out and really inspire people is what makes all the difference. That’s why I do what I do, and those are some of the most important and exciting things that I've learned in astronomy at NAU.Will Oldroyd, Astronomy and Planetary Science graduate student
