Science on Tap

Dr. Jesse Barber, Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at BSU, will be presenting a talk titled: Phantom Roads and Rivers of Sound: How Noise Reshapes the Natural World.

Using networks of speakers, Jesse Barber and his team created a road without traffic and rivers without water to isolate how noise alone affects wildlife. From birds and bats to insects, these experiments reveal how profoundly sound can shape animal behavior and ecological communities. Together, they offer a window into sensory ecology—the study of how animals perceive their surroundings and use sensory information to survive—and show why noise is a form of pollution that harms wildlife.

October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026 brought an unprecedented snow drought to Idaho and the entire Western United States. This snow drought was driven by several factors, including periods of reduced precipitation and periods of normal to above-normal precipitation with much warmer temperatures. Across the region, this snow drought led many ski resorts to open late and close early, water management agencies to declare drought conditions early, and concerns about water storage in some of the nation’s largest hydropower-generating reservoirs. Emerging research suggests that the 2026 snow drought was four times more likely because of climate change. But how do researchers attribute individual events like this to climate change? And what lessons does this snow drought portend for future winters in Idaho and beyond?

Dr. Brian Jackson presents “Aerial Exploration of Mars”

Semi-autonomous rotorcraft have revolutionized terrestrial geological and atmospheric science. Their ability to explore high and low, far and wide allows them to deploy instrumentation and collect remote-sensing data in regions and from perspectives otherwise difficult or impossible to access. The success of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter similarly opens prospects for transforming the study of Mars. Rotorcraft on Mars can facilitate geological and geophysical investigations, enable atmospheric measurements, and assist human exploration. Future missions to Mars could involve these aircraft as complements to ground-bound assets, such as rovers or fixed stations, or as stand-alone vehicles. In this presentation, I’ll talk about what we learned from the Ingenuity effort and what we might learn from the upcoming SkyFall and other missions.
