NATURA, which stands for ‘Nature-based solutions for Urban Resilience in the Anthropocene,’ will link early-career scholars and practitioners who are working on solutions for climate change resilience around the world. We will create opportunities to share knowledge from one region or city with another.

Propelled by his long-time love for sea turtles, ASU marine biologist and conservation scientist Jesse Senko dedicated his life to saving the creatures. To reduce turtle bycatch from fishing nets, he developed effective solar-powered lights that attach to the nets and deter the turtles.

Two annual fellowships were established by ASU in 2019 to support scholars in exploring the diverse history of the West, its intersections with race and violence, and American Indian history.

Joni Adamson, a sustainability scholar, and Michael Angilletta, a sustainability scientist, were awarded one of the most distinguished faculty honors at ASU: President’s Professor.

Ice in the Arctic is rapidly melting, and this region is projected to be virtually ice-free in the late summer within 20 years. However, transformation is possible and it's about the choices we make, write Peter Schlosser and several ASU thought leaders.

Medium The Arctic is experiencing climate change more dramatically than anywhere else on Earth. In fact, the Arctic Ocean is expected to be virtually ice-free in the late summer within

Extreme weather events are becoming a chronic problem for our built environments. Sustainability scientists Mikhail Chester, Nancy Grimm and Nathan Johnson are part of an interdisciplinary, ASU-led project that will bring researchers and communities together to forge designs for resilient urban infrastructure.

Second Nature, a nonprofit focused on accelerating climate action in higher education, awarded ASU "Marks of Distinction" as a climate leader for cutting its net carbon emissions across the board. ASU did this while significantly expanding its campus buildings and on-campus student population.

School of Sustainability, students have partnered with the City of Tempe to assist the city as it considers implementing a sustainable purchasing policy to help it achieve its ambitious Climate Action Goals.

Popular Science named ASU Professor Klaus Lackner's carbon-capture technology one of the most important engineering innovations of 2019. Nicknamed “mechanical trees,” these machines can remove carbon dioxide from the air a thousand times more effectively than actual trees.

Four sustainability scientists were named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS): Sander van der Leeuw, C. Michael Barton, Gary Marchant and Charles Perrings. These ASU faculty were chosen in honor of their invaluable contributions to science and technology.
