The 21st annual Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium will be held Saturday, 01 November 2025, 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.</div>
