When a star reaches its final stages of life, it ends in a bright and powerful explosion called a supernova and scatters material across the universe. A new study led by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher discovered that the Moon’s mixed-up soil can be read as a cosmic time capsule for exploding stars.

Emily Costello, research scientist at the in the ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ Mānoa (SOEST), and co-authors developed a mathematical model to decode the history recorded in the lunar surface.

“Deep-sea deposits on Earth preserve interstellar debris, but only back about 10 million years,” Costello said. “The lunar regolith [soil], however, acts as a long-term cosmic archive that can preserve history spanning 80 to 100 million years or more. Understanding the physics of regolith mixing ensures that when future astronauts return deeper cores, we can properly read the scrambled layers to reconstruct the history of our Solar System’s journey through the galaxy.”

Finding order in chaos

Costello and co-authors developed a specialized mathematical model that unscrambles “impact gardening,” the continuous process where crater-forming impacts flip, mix and redistribute the Moon’s surface soil over time. This is a highly random process driven by meteorites ranging in size from microscopic grains of dust to giant asteroids.

“Our mathematical model treats lunar impact gardening as a competition between forces burying the soil and impacts digging it back up,” Costello said. “It also accounts for radioactive decay of the star remnants while mapping exactly when and where new stardust was delivered by episodic supernovas.”

Validating the model

Based on radioactive isotopes in deep-sea sediments on Earth and in lunar soil samples returned by Apollo, it is known that supernova explosions hundreds of light-years away scattered radioisotopes across the Earth and Moon. But once the radioisotopes arrived, they started getting mixed into the lunar surface by impact gardening.

The team discovered that the model can accurately predict the depth-concentration profiles of iron found in Apollo regolith samples. They then extended the model to predict how other heavy elements, such as plutonium, iodine, hafnium and curium, are buried over time.

Employability: Based on the professional success of a university’s alumni, measured relative to the university’s size (25%)

Faculty: Measured by the number of faculty members who have received top academic distinctions (10%)

Research:

• Research output: measured by the total number of research articles (10%)
• High-quality publications: measured by the number of research articles appearing in top-tier journals (10%)
• Influence: measured by the number of research articles appearing in highly-influential journals (10%)
• Citations: measured by the number of highly-cited research articles (10%)

Surveys and university data submissions did not factor in the rankings. The center said that equal emphasis was put on student and faculty indicators, and that 74 million outcome-based data points were used.

Despite national declines in college enrollment, the University of Hawaiʻi has seen steady growth in its student population, particularly among local students. This growth is guided by data-informed insights from the (IRAPO), which helps shape policies that enhance student success across the 10-campus university system.

As part of the Office of the Vice President for Academic Strategy, IRAPO ensures institutional data is accessible to leadership, faculty, students and the public, promoting transparency and strategic planning.

“As a team of twelve at IRAPO, our mission is to support the ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ community with accurate, meaningful data,” said Kara Plamann Wagoner, IRAPO director. “We are not just about numbers, we’re about connecting people to information and one another, ensuring insights lead to action.”

Data that drives change

We are not just about numbers, we’re about connecting people to information and one another, ensuring insights lead to action.
—Kara Plamann Wagoner

IRAPO serves as ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ’s central hub for historical and real-time student data, covering key areas such as:

• Enrollment trends
• Student success metrics (graduation, retention, degrees awarded)
• Course registration and transfer rates
• Financial aid distribution

By collecting, analyzing, and reporting this data, IRAPO informs university policies, academic programs and student support initiatives.

Supporting students and faculty

IRAPO‘s work has influenced major university initiatives, such as (PDF) an evidence-based campaign launched under former IRAPO leadership that encouraged students to take 15 credits per semester to graduate on time, while lowering education costs and accelerating workforce entry. “15 to Finish” has gained momentum and institutionalization at colleges and universities nationwide over the last decade.

“We often hear assumptions about enrollment or student success,” Plamann Wagoner said. “Our role is to provide clear, reliable data in context that tests those assumptions, leading to more informed decisions that truly support students across all ten campuses.”

Beyond academics, IRAPO plays a key role in university strategic planning, contributing to systemwide initiatives and developing metrics to track progress toward institutional goals and continuous improvement. In addition to long-term planning, IRAPO has also supported responsive decision-making in times of crisis. During the pandemic, its research guided ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ’s emergency financial aid initiatives and student support services, helping to address urgent student needs.

Enhancing access to data

IRAPO is also instrumental in federal compliance, ensuring ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ meets reporting requirements for the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), which impacts funding and accreditation.

To make data more accessible, IRAPO is in the process of revamping its to enhance usability. By the end of 2025, students, employees and the public will be able to browse interactive dashboards and streamlined reports for timely and accurate answers. The office remains committed to innovation and connection, leveraging new technology while building community to meet the university’s evolving needs.

The University of Hawaiʻi (JABSOM) remains one of the top primary care institutions as U.S. News & World Report placed .

There were 15 schools placed in the elite Tier 1 category, marking the fifth time in seven years that JABSOM has made the top 25. Consistently landing in the top quartile of 130 ranked schools from 194 allopathic and osteopathic medical schools in the U.S. solidifies JABSOM‘s place as a premier destination for physicians to learn and train.

“Since JABSOM‘s foundation in 1965, we have worked very hard to train physicians who will meet the needs of Hawaiʻi,” said JABSOM Dean Sam Shomaker. “Our state needs doctors who practice in numerous different specialties, including the primary care specialties of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and geriatrics. The core values of primary care—including holistic, patient- and family-centered, and culturally humble approaches—are important components of our curriculum throughout our medical student’s journey, and result in better care given by all physicians. We are proud that our efforts are producing more physicians interested in these specialties.”

On the research side, JABSOM has been elevated to a Tier 2 ranking alongside Boston University, Tufts University and USC‘s Keck School of Medicine. JABSOM‘s research funding continues to bring in millions of dollars from the National Institutes of Health, which significantly contributes to the overall health of Hawaiʻi. JABSOM expects to see the most growth in the last five years in fiscal year 2024, and there are indications that the trend will continue into next year. Twenty-one million dollars have been awarded in grants and contracts for research in 2024.

“The John A. Burns School of Medicine remains the leader of research in the Pacific,” said Mariana Gerschenson, associate dean for research at JABSOM. “This is due to our faculty, staff and student research endeavors. Eighty-one percent of our medical students are involved in research projects during medical school. JABSOM is focused on issues that impact our population and these awards allow us to make breakthroughs in diseases associated with health disparities, aging, reproductive biology, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and infectious diseases.”

More than half of JABSOM‘s class of 2024 entered primary care specialties this year. Sixteen of the 77 graduates entered pediatrics, marking the highest number of pediatric residents coming from JABSOM in the last 15 years.
