A 12-year field experiment at the University of Oklahoma has revealed that warming's effect on soil carbon storage depends critically on precipitation. Understanding what controls whether soils gain or lose carbon has broad implications for the carbon cycle and beyond.
University of Oklahoma alumna Farris Tedder was recently named a 2026 Gates Cambridge Scholar, an international award given each year to scholars from around the world, including just 26 students from the United States, to pursue postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge.
In the longest-running field warming experiment of its kind, researchers have documented dramatic shifts in high-elevation mountain meadows, revealing that changes in climate alter not only the plants we can see above ground, but the invisible world of fungi and microbes in the soil below.
NORMAN, OKLA. – A groundbreaking study published in Nature’s Communications Biology sheds new light on the relationship between bats and dangerous viruses. Led by researchers at the University of Oklahoma, the study shows that contrary to widespread assumptions, not all bats carry viruses with high epidemic potential, only specific groups of species.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from across the University of Oklahoma has received a $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to transform how communities anticipate and mitigate risks from treefall during extreme weather events.
Alexandra Bentz has received a prestigious NSF Early Career award to study how mother birds chemically communicate about their environment to their offspring.
