Physical Space Inventory Fall 2018 Planning, Design & Construction Space Planning & Management Cover page photo credit: University of Arizona – BSRL Building PDC Project Photo Gallery: http://www.pdc.arizona.edu/project/12-9134 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Contact information for the University of Arizona: Web Site: http://www.arizona.edu _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Planning, Design & Construction Space Planning & Management 220 W 6th St. USA Building, 3rd Floor Tucson, Arizona 85701-1014 http://www.pdc.arizona.edu OVERVIEW The University of Arizona’s Physical Space Inventory experienced an active year in 2018, highlighted by the completion of three construction projects. The new Bioscience Research Laboratories building added 97,216 NASF (172,623 GSF) of research laboratory and office space to the portfolio. The building comprises of five floors with facilities that support interdisciplinary and health sciences research. The completion of the South Stadium Parking Structure (146,940 NASF / 317,594 GSF) provided 915 new parking spaces in an area of campus that was high in need. The construction project involved the redesign of the 6th St. & Warren Ave. intersection, improving traffic flow throughout the area and increasing efficiency and safety. With the help of a generous gift by one of its most famous alumni, the Terry Francona Hitting Facility (9,196 NASF / 9,458 GSF) was completed in 2018 and provides the Arizona Baseball program with a state of the art, indoor hitting facility. The facility is located at Hi Corbett Field, home of Arizona Baseball. The Corleone Center, Corleone Apartments, and Drachman Apartments were demolished in 2018. The area will now be part of a new Honors College Village, a Public-Private Partnership project that is scheduled to be completed in 2019. Other significant changes to the Physical Space Inventory include the release of 13 leased buildings to Banner-University Medical Center. Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium, home of Arizona Softball, was demolished after the conclusion of the softball season. The stadium will be rebuilt, with plans to be ready to host Arizona Softball’s first home game of the 2019 season.

The final draft was written after Mr. Voelgerf s return to his home in the Russian-occupied zone of Berlin. Difficulties such as a shortage of typing paper of uniform grade and the impossibility of adequate supervision and advice on matters of terminology, punctuation, and English usage account for certain details in which this thesis may depart from stand­ ards of the Graduate College of the University of Arizona. These details are largely mechanical, and it is felt that they do not detract appreciably from the quality of the research nor the clarity of presentation of the results.

Troch1,3 Land-atmosphere interactions at diferent temporal and spatial scales are important for our understanding of the Earth system and its modeling. The Landscape Evolution Observatory (LEO) at Biosphere 2, managed by the University of Arizona, hosts three nearly identical artifcial bare-soil hillslopes with dimensions of 11 × 30 m2 (1 m depth) in a controlled and highly monitored environment within three large greenhouses. These facilities provide a unique opportunity to explore these interactions. The dataset presented here is a subset of the measurements in each LEO’s hillslopes, from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2019 every 15 minutes, consisting of temperature, water content and heat fux of the soil (at 5 cm depth) for 12 co-located points; temperature, relative humidity and wind speed above ground at 5 locations and 5 diferent heights ranging from 0.25 m to 9–10 m; 3D wind at 1 location; the four components of radiation at 2 locations; spatially aggregated precipitation rates, total subsurface discharge, and relative water storage; and the measurements from a weather station outside the greenhouses. Background & Summary Te understanding of land-atmosphere interactions is important for improvements in Earth System Modelling1–3 for climate assessment, weather prediction, and subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasts4.

This change in plant types can influence the function of soil microbial communities with unknown consequences for soil carbon cycling and storage. We used soils collected from a five-year passive warming experiment in Southern, AZ to test the effects of warming and substrate availability on microbial carbon use. We hypothesized that substrate addition would increase the diversity of microbial substrate use, and that substrate additions and warming would increase carbon acquisition, creating a positive feedback on carbon mineralization. Community Level Physiological Profiling (CLPP) of microbial activity was conducted using Biolog EcoPlateTMassays from soils collected in July 2018, one week after the start of monsoon rains. Two soil types common to Southern AZ, were amended with one of four treatments (surface juniper wood chips, juniper wood chips incorporated into the soil, surface biochar, or a no-amendment control) and were randomly assigned to a warmed or ambient temperature treatment. We found that surface wood chips resulted in the highest richness and diversity of carbon substrate use with control soils yielding the lowest. Substrate use was positively correlated with the total organic carbon but not with warming.

    Steward/Astronomy Specific Guidelines for Responding/Adapting to C19 Pandemic (Most Recent Update, March 16, 2020, 6 p.m.) Steward Observatory and the Department of Astronomy are adopting policies that will minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19 while allowing us to continue to support our educational, outreach, and research missions. Facts and information are being shared with us at a high rate -- and these policies will have to evolve with time. We appreciate your patience and attention to the information below. We have tried to identify by subsection the individuals to whom you should address questions, but please always start with your supervisor/advisor. Our policies are intended to be consistent with those of the University of Arizona and the College of Science. We refer you to their web pages at these links: https://www.arizona.edu/coronavirus-covid-19-information and https://science.arizona.edu/coronavirus This is an evolving situation. We will update this document based on Federal, State and University policies as they become available. Please check the Provost and College pages at least daily, as they are also being updated frequently. Effective Immediately -- These policies are effective March 16, 2020 and will be updated as needed to stay consistent with U Arizona and College of Science Policies Courses and Classes (undergraduate and graduate) - All courses will be 100% online for the remaining of the semester. If you are an instructor and are having trouble moving your course to on-line, please contact Associate Department Head Xiaohui Fan, who will help you find assistance. - No in-person component to any classes.

    EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 12:30 p.m. PST, January 11, 2005 RELEASE: LSSTC-02 Steward Observatory Mirror Lab Awarded Contract for Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Mirror The LSST Corporation has awarded a $2.3 million contract to the University of Arizona Steward Observatory Mirror Lab to purchase the glass and begin engineering work for the 8.4-meter diameter main mirror for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). This award was announced today in San Diego at the 205th meeting of the American Astronomical Society. Acquiring the LSST primary mirror was made possible by a generous, private donation from Arizona businessman Richard Caris. The UA award covers the first of four phases in an estimated $13.8 million effort to design, cast, polish and integrate the mirror into the LSST mirror support cell. Coupled with substantial support provided by Research Corporation under the leadership of John Schaefer, these private funds boost the LSST off the drawing board and into production. The LSST is a proposed world-class, ground-based telescope that can survey the entire visible sky every three nights. It will generate an awesome 30 terabytes of data per night from a three billion-pixel digital camera, producing a vast database of information on the universe. LSST will take exposures every 10 seconds, opening a movie-like window on objects that change or move on rapid timescales -- exploding supernovae, Earth-approaching asteroids, and The contract for casting of the 8.4-meter primary mirror of the distant Kuiper belt objects. Via the light-bending gravity of dark matter, LSST Large Synoptic Survey Telescope by the University of Arizona will chart the history of the expansion of the universe, yielding a unique probe (UA) Mirror Lab is signed by (L-R) Dr.

    Biosphere 2 Outreach Scholars Green Fund Proposal, January 2016 Kevin Bonine, Director of Education & Outreach, Biosphere 2 [email protected] 520-621-0232 Poster symposium & certificate ceremony at Biosphere 2 Summer Science Academy. Note young students in blue shirts presenting their results and proud UA student Outreach Scholars in red shirts. PROPOSAL OVERVIEW Abstract Biosphere 2 Outreach Scholars are the reason the Biosphere 2 Summer Science Academy has been so successful in its first two years. By supporting these UA students, who serve as role-models and mentors for 80-90 middle and high school students, we are taking an important step in providing the educational base necessary for sustainable, evidence-based decisions in all facets of society. UA students will apply to be chosen as Green Fund–supported Outreach Scholars, receive intensive training and a $1,000 stipend for their time in residence at Biosphere 2 in summer 2016, and become better able to navigate the important intersection where science and education meet. This intersection is how sustainability can be realistically pursued and achieved in the future. The UA Green Fund Outreach Scholars will facilitate research experiences, collaboration skills, and leadership development of middle and high school students. Along the way, the scholars will expand their knowledge and capacity in these areas and perhaps pursue scientist-educator as a career path or be inspired to put their scientific training toward solving society’s grand challenges. Project Narrative “It was the most amazing week of my life.” -Biosphere 2 Summer Science Academy Participant The key to a sustainable future is effective education and evidence-based decision making.
