First Rain on World’s Largest Artificial Watershed
The Landscape Evolution Observatory inside the UA’s Biosphere 2 provides researchers with the first opportunity to study how water, microbes, soil and plants interact in a setting realistic enough to improve global climate models for years to come. The world's largest artificial watershed experienced its first - artificial - rain on Nov. 29 during LEO's formal commissioning.
