During the monsoon our landscape is transformed into a green lush environment. With an increase in water and vegetation we also see a jump in insect populations. These insects provide vital nutrition to migratory birds as they journey southward. Join us for a virtual program on September 14th to learn a little bit about monsoon & migration as well as how to utilize rainlog and birdcast as tools. Follow the link for registration.

Join Sky Island Alliance in the field to explore Clark Spring in southern Arizona's Huachuca Mountains. Please click "View All Events On The Calendar" below for more information.
Because we envision this as an event for people new to Spring Seeking, there's a required training session on Friday, July 29 at 3 p.m. Register here.
Then, on July 30th at 8 am, (register here) we will rendezvous at 8am at the Pizzeria Mimosa to carpool to Clark Spring Trailhead in Carr Canyon (not Miller Canyon). We'll depart from the Clark Spring Trailhead and head up Carr Canyon Road to a natural spring that hasn't been surveyed before by Spring Seekers. This is an approximately 2-mile round-trip hike at 6,000 feet elevation As a group, we’ll decide how to answer the survey questions, and everyone will get a chance to submit their own surveys and pictures!
See the main event page for more details.

Dr. Monica Ramirez-Andreotta is an assistant professor of Soil, Water and Environmental Science (SWES) with a joint appointment in the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health’s Division of Community, Environment and Policy at the University of Arizona. Additionally, Dr. Ramirez-Andreotta is the PI of the University of Arizona Superfund Research Program’s Research Translation Core. She is trained across various fields and is a transdisciplinary researcher in the purest sense. She received a B.A. degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, a B.A. degree in Studio Art (Photography), and a Master’s of Public Administration from Columbia University. She received her Ph.D. from the UA in SWES (with a minor in Art) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship with a renowned medical sociologist in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities at Northeastern University. During her postdoctoral work, she gained a deeper understanding of how to collaborate across disciplines and the crucial role the social sciences play in environmental health research and interventions. Her philosophy is that in order to successfully engage communities and students of color, it is essential to address critical environmental health problems identified by the community, and to then work collaboratively through the problem-solving and scientific research process.
