Congratulations to the Watershed Hydrology Lab’s two first year MS students for each achieving two big accomplishments. They have both successfully defended their MS thesis proposals, putting them in a great position to be productive on their research this summer. Also, both Caytie and Garrett were awarded Geological Society of America student
Geologists and geology advocates are making their opinions known about Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey's government consolidation decision to defund the Arizona Geological Survey as of June 30. The AZGS duties have been handed over to the University of Arizona, which is providing partial funding for one year while the Survey is expected to become fully self supporting from grants and fees
As Britain exits the European Union, the Arizona Geological Survey is exiting Arizona state government for a new future as a research and service center at the University of Arizona. We have one year of partial transition funding to become entirely self-supporting from grants and fees for services.
AZGS shut down the retail store on Thursday, emptied out the library of all remaining
I've been wanting to do something to help out The Jurassic Foundation for a while. They are a nonprofit that supports dinosaur research worldwide by offering grants to paleontologists, many of whom are from developing countries or are early in their career. To celebrate the fifth National Fossil Day, half of all Mammoth is Mopey hardcover and ebook sales this week will be donated to them. That's $7.50 of every hardcover sale and $3.50 from every ebook sale going straight to the Jurassic [...]

Years ago I read Jonathan Weiner's excellent book The Beak Of The Finch. He describes the work of Peter and Rosemary Grant on the finches of Galapagos Islands, a place which proved to be such an inspiration for another aspiring naturalist in the 1830's. The Grants studied for decades evolution of finch populations, observing in them natural selection in action.
Now they have written their

The National Science Foundation is awarding grants to universities with science and math education programs. These grants can be used to fund scholarships for students enrolled in teacher preparation programs who are willing to commit to teaching four years in a high-needs school district. As an example…. one recently funded program provided over $1,000,000 to
Suppose the UK government decides that the country needs more apples. It decides to give out thousands of grants to householders so they can buy and plant their own fruit trees. I receive one of those grants and go to Garden Centre A to buy my trees. They say “Sorry, we don’t sell apple trees.
Along with colleagues at Kent State University, I have been awarded a DUE TUES grant from the National Science Foundation. Our project “Bridging the Conceptual Divide Between Theoretical and Applied Environmental Chemistry” focuses on developing curriculum centered on hands-on experiences with stable isotope analysis. We’ll also be developing ways to
Opponents of large scale solar power plants are arguing that "big environmental organizations have been co-opted by grants from solar developers intended to buy their acquiescence" and that these large operations will "worsen the environmental catastrophe they are trying to avert."'Big Solar' advocates counter that opponents are marginalized, local NIMBYs.The anti-big solar case is made in

Through the review, the Conservatives hope to determine why Canada lags other developed countries in terms of innovation, private-sector investment in R&D, as well as the commercialization of research. Canada continues to perform poorly in these areas, despite the fact that the federal government has invested in billions to spur innovation through tax breaks, grants and other forms
