The organization's latest Research Collaboration Index, released Tuesday, ranks the U of A No. 1 in the Southwest – ahead of all colleges in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and Utah – and No. 1 in the Big 12 Conference.

The AZGS Geophysics Group will leverage new equipment, together with the existing AZGS Seismic Network, to launch modern geophysical data-collection campaigns focused on evaluating geothermal resources. These efforts will substantially improve AZGS’s ability to identify and prioritize areas best suited for future geothermal exploration

Historically, computer simulations modeling collisions between protoplanetary bodies have treated them largely as fluids. A new study suggests taking into account the material strength of solid bodies drastically changes outcomes.

This event brought together more than 60 students and parents from a wide range of backgrounds for an evening of physics, problem solving, and community building.

This year, the event is centered around Non-Academic Careers in Mathematical & Data Sciences in the time of AI. Attendees can expect a keynote colloquium, lightning talks, and a variety of workshops.

After a virulent strain of COVID-19 hospitalized her father five years ago, Flinn Scholar Rain Elika Dimaliwat found her purpose: Become a doctor, save lives and reunite families.
