20th annual Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium

Saturday, 09 November 2024, 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM

University of Arizona, Integrated Learning Center room 150, Tucson, Arizona

The 20th annual Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium will be held Saturday, 09 November 2024, 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. Speakers will include Dawn Browning from Jornada Experimental Range describing novel use of times series remotely sensed data to document vegetation changes, Ashlee Rowe describing Pain receptors in grasshopper mice as a model for human pain reception, Michelle Berry describing how words matter when discussing rangelands based on her new book “Cow Talk”, and Laura Norman describing how Natural infrastructure in drylands can regenerate wetlands.
