Curious about CESM's groundbreaking research?

The Plant-Soil-Environment (PSE) Lab and the University of Arizona's Center for Environmentally Sustainable Mining (CESM) are conducting ground-breaking research - literally! By pioneering science around "plants that mine," PSE and CESM are changing how we get metals from the ground and making mining more sustainable in the process. Thanks to a PHYTOMINES grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), researchers at the U of A are changing how we mine.
