We will be meeting in the Biosphere 2 Administration area at 10AM (You may arrive as early as 8:30AM). For carpool or other information please email Carina Clark - carina@cotb.me. Biosphere 2 is located at 32540 S Biosphere Rd, Tucson, AZ 85739 - Directions
The Biosphere 2 functions as a department of the University of Arizona College of Science. Within Biosphere 2 there are two divisions, B2 Earthscience and B2 Institute.
B2 Earthscience is utilizing the unique attributes of Biosphere 2 to conduct research that cannot be accomplished anywhere else, by anyone else.
B2 Institute is addressing scientific Grand Challenges whose solutions require the combined expertise of a broad range of scientific fields and diverse interdisciplinary talents.
Another important component of Biosphere 2 is Education and Outreach. This overlaps both B2 Earthscience and B2 Institute to provide educational experiences and active involvement for students and community members.
