Aggie Impact: Forecasting Our Future
Dr. Ben Burger, a Utah State University Uintah Basin geologist and paleontologist, discovered an ancient rock layer. Dr. Burger tests the rock samples and realized the rock layer existed over 250 million years ago, during a global mass extinction. The testing also revealed high carbon dioxide levels in the rock, which contributed to the extinction. Today, we can set safer climate parameters based on the dangerous levels that existed in the past.

Since 1888, Utah State University established itself as a premier research institution known through the world for its intellectual and technological leadership. USU’s main campus is in Logan, with an additional 33 campuses and centers throughout Utah. As long as WiFi is available, you can be an Aggie anywhere through USU Online.
USU competes in 16 NCAA Division I sports. Our student section, the HURD, is one of the loudest and rowdiest in the nation. The diehards become True Aggies by kissing on the block “A” on homecoming. Adrenaline junkies sled down Old Main hill between classes or rock climb outside. And everyone eats Aggie Ice Cream - even with a foot of snow on the ground.
