18th annual Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium

Saturday, 05 November 2022, 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM

University of Arizona Marley Building Auditorium (Room 230), Tucson, Arizona


The 18th annual Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium will be held Saturday, 05 November 2022, 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM on the University of Arizona campus.  The objectives of the symposium are to share recent results of research at the USDA-ARS Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) and the University of Arizona Santa Rita Experimental Range (SRER), to encourage future research activities at the WGEW and the SRER, and to promote the WGEW and the SRER as outdoor scientific laboratories.

The Symposium will feature invited speakers presenting recent or on-going research on the WGEW, the SRER or other outdoor laboratories in the region. There is also a Student Poster competition with monetary awards. Special speakers this year are Paula Mabee, Director of NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network, and Petey Mesquitey, legendary natural historian of the Borderlands Region.

Conditions resulting from the Covid-19 Pandemic could require a Remote meeting format (via Zoom) as in 2021 or cancellation as in 2020. We are preparing for that possibility and will provide updates as we approach November 2022.  Given this possibility, we ask that you register on-line to ensure that we can communicate the status of the meeting with you via email, and send you the Zoom links to attend Remotely. If held Remotely, we will not charge the Registration fee.

Please use the web site http://www.tucson.ars.ag.gov/rise/ to view the RISE program, to register for the symposium, to submit poster abstracts and to enter the student poster contest, view talks and posters from past years, and see updates related to the possible changes due to the Covid Pandemic.
