Started in 2004, the RISE (Research Insights in Semi-Arid Ecosystems) Symposium has pursued the objectives of sharing recent results of scientific research in semiarid environments and encouraging future research and outreach activities, with an emphasis on work conducted at the USDA-ARS Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) and the University of Arizona Santa Rita Experimental Range (SRER).
Access below programs, presentations, and posters for all the RISE Symposia.
Mark your calendars and plan to attend the 22nd RISE Symposium on 26 September 2026
on the University of Arizona campus.
Registration is now open, and the list of invited speakers is available at https://rise.santarita.arizona.edu/.
