Year of Undergraduate Research Exhibition

Exhibition

In celebration of 50 years of the undergraduate research program at Utah State University, the Office of Research presents a landmark exhibition showcasing the innovative work of undergraduate researchers across all disciplines. From microscopy images to engineering prototypes, artistic interpretations to scientific specimens, this curated collection demonstrates how undergraduate research at USU has impacted student lives and our understanding of the world since 1975.

USU + UDWR Lunch Seminar Series: Maximizing Success of Seed-Based Restoration

Breakfast/Luncheon/Dinner

Join us for our monthly USU and UDWR Seminar Series in person or via Zoom. Light lunch is provided for in-person attendees. Title: "Maximizing success of seed-based restoration: analysis of current practices and experimental tests of new possibilities" Authors: Spencer Good, Kari Veblen, Eric Thacker (Dept. of Wildland Resources, USU), Tom Monaco (USDA-ARS Forage and Range Research Unit), Kevin Gunnell, Danny Summers, Melissa Landeen (UDWR Great Basin Research Center Talk Summary: "Our collaborative research with the UDWR aims to improve restoration outcomes throughout Utah's rangelands. First, we have been investigating the species composition of restoration seed mixes used by UDWR, particularly with respect to the "Resistance and Resilience" framework that is increasingly being used to inform management of western rangelands. Second, we have been experimentally evaluating the field performance of different seed mixes that include vs. exclude commonly-used non-native species and the potential of these different types of mixes to promote multiple restoration goals."

Ecology Center Seminar Series - Dr. Mike Dietze

Conference/Seminar

The USU Ecology Center is pleased to host our January Seminar Series speaker, Dr. Mike Dietze, from the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University.

Dr. Michael Dietze leads the Ecological Forecasting Laboratory, the mission of which is to better understand and predict ecological systems; he is the author of Ecological Forecasting. He is interested in the ways that iterative forecasts, which are continually confronted with new data, can improve and accelerate basic environmental science, while at the same time making that science more directly relevant to society (e.g., nature-based climate solutions). Much of the current work in the lab is organized under two broad umbrellas, the Near-term Ecological Forecasting Initiative (NEFI) and the PEcAn project.

A public reception will immediately follow the seminar. All are welcome!
