A research team that included Steven Allison, associate professor of ecology & evolutionary biology in the Francisco J. Ayala School of Biological Sciences, has found that warmer temperatures shorten the lifespan of soil microbes, and this may affect how soil stores carbon.
Irvine, Calif., Sept. 3, 2014 – Southern California students who excel in astronomy and physics but are traditionally underrepresented in those fields will soon get a big boost toward earning doctorates at University of California research campuses, thanks to a new mentoring and scholarship program. Cal-Bridge is a consortium of eight California State University schools, […]
UC Irvine’s School of Education has received a $300,000 gift from AT&T to support its recent $11 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for a project to improve the literacy skills of English learners.
Freshwater runoff from the Sierra Nevada may decrease by as much as one-quarter by 2100 due to climate warming on the high slopes, according to scientists at UC Irvine and UC Merced.
The UC Irvine Center for Chemistry at the Space-Time Limit has received a $20 million renewal award from the National Science Foundation to continue its ground-breaking work in pushing the limits of interrogating chemistry on ultrafast and ultrasmall scales. Ultimately, the goal is capture chemistry in the act on the single-molecule level.
UCI researchers offer highlights from their studies about work – how we do it, and what we produce
Existing power plants around the world will pump out more than 300 billion tons of carbon dioxide over their expected lifetimes, significantly adding to atmospheric levels of the climate-warming gas, according to UC Irvine and Princeton University scientists.
Technology developed at UCI was used to detect and monitor a toxic algae bloom in Lake Erie that prompted a recent three-day ban on drinking tap water in Toledo, Ohio.
Dr. Virginia Kimonis and fellow UCI researchers are dedicated to finding genetic clues, giving new hope to families
The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with more than 2 million people currently behind bars. How this affects their families is the subject of a new UC Irvine study, which found significant health and behavioral problems in children of incarcerated parents. The most striking finding is that in some cases parental incarceration can be more detrimental to a child’s well-being than divorce or the death of a parent.
