This project investigates how neighborhood characteristics, including built environment features and social factors, influence cancer risk across diverse U.S. populations. The research examines how factors such as walkability, green space access, air quality, and social cohesion may contribute to cancer disparities.

This study examines the relationship between short-term environmental exposures, including air pollution, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors, and emergency medical service (EMS) activations across the United States. The research aims to identify vulnerable populations and develop predictive models to improve emergency response systems.

This project develops predictive models for wildfire risk assessment in Arizona under various climate change scenarios. The research aims to inform fire management strategies and community preparedness initiatives across the state.

This research utilizes remote sensing technologies to identify and predict golden algae bloom occurrences in Arizona's surface water sources. The project aims to develop early warning systems for water quality management.

The DUST Center investigates hazardous dust exposure in dryland regions, assessing health impacts and developing mitigation strategies. The center focuses on understanding dust composition, exposure pathways, and community-based interventions.

This research investigates how different characteristics of fine particulate matter affect mortality risks, examining variations by particle size, source, and chemical composition to inform targeted air quality interventions.

SCORCH is a comprehensive center focused on building resilience to climate change impacts on health in the Southwest. The center conducts research on heat-related health impacts, develops community adaptation strategies, and provides training for health professionals to address climate-related health challenges.

The SW-IFL is a Department of Energy initiative studying urban climate dynamics in the Phoenix-Tucson corridor. The laboratory integrates observational networks, modeling, and community engagement to understand urban heat, air quality, and climate resilience strategies in desert cities.

This environmental justice initiative empowered Tucson communities to monitor and address local environmental health concerns. The project provided communities with air quality sensors, training, and data analysis support to identify and advocate for solutions to environmental health disparities.

This research evaluated the impact of schoolyard renovations on student health, academic performance, and well-being. The study assessed how green infrastructure and playground improvements affect physical activity levels, heat exposure, social interactions, and academic outcomes in Arizona schools.

This project developed advanced modeling techniques to predict solar generation output from distributed energy resources across the Salt River Project service territory. The research aimed to improve grid stability and optimize renewable energy integration in Arizona's power infrastructure.
