ASU-led team develops first large-scale ranking system to raise awareness about the dangers of Phoenix dust storms.
ASU researchers turn to fungi as a cost-effective, sustainable way to stabilize land after a fire.
Arizona’s deserts might not be situated on a tectonic plate boundary where geographical activity can cause earthquakes, but that doesn’t make the state immune from the disturbance of tremors.
US military installations often sit in regions of strategic value that are also highly exposed to environmental hazards—coastal zones, river basins, arid regions, and fire-prone landscapes—thus face an increasingly complex risk environment.
Study believed to be the first to test this method in real-world farming conditions; soil amendments resulted in fewer locusts, less damage and a doubled crop yield.
Arizona State University researchers are using artificial intelligence to characterize a vast array of wildfire fuels and generate fuel maps at a much higher resolution than existing maps.
Satellite-borne lightning detectors in orbit since 2017 have made it possible to continuously detect lightning and measure it accurately at continental-scale distances.
An ASU-led study highlights the emergence of four continental-scale “mega-drying” regions, all located in the Northern Hemisphere, with staggering implications for freshwater availability.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Commitments (SFVC) online platform serves to incentivize stakeholders to inform the public about their work, to provide a vehicle for sharing commitments and initiatives and for motivation toward the implementation of the Sendai Framework. In turn, UNDRR can monitor and take stock of the progress and impact.
Arizona State University is involved in the following commitments:
