Deserts may hold key to carbon dioxide issue (DEES PIs: Lynn Fenstermaker and Jay Arnone)

A donation from Tom and Mary Kay Gallagher is being received by the Division to fund DRI's archaeology program by purchasing additional analytical equipment. In recognition of this gift, the archaeology and paleoecology laboratory is being named in honor of the Gallaghers.

The Division of Earth & Ecosystem Sciences (DEES) is a remarkably diverse collection of scientists, with a range of research interests and expertise that challenges any simple categorization or single research focus. In broadest terms, DEES scientists all contribute to a greater understanding of the history and processes affecting landscapes, the earth's surface, and its living inhabitants.
