Exactly one year ago, a former graduate student from the University of Arizona arrived on campus and allegedly murdered Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences Department Head Thomas Meixner.

Meixner was a world-renowned leader in biogeochemistry. He dedicated his life to trying to save the world’s most precious resource–water. With over 200 publications, and almost seven thousand citations, his impact on both the hydrology and the University of Arizona community was undeniable.

As the one-year mark of his death carries across Southern Arizona, friends, family, colleagues, and students shared phone messages with AZPM News of the memories they had with the beloved professor.
