Dear Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that we share the news that on May 28, 2015 Rafe Sagarin was tragically killed while riding his bike near his beloved Biosphere 2. His memory lives on vividly in all those who knew him, and his contributions to science and adaptable solutions to security remain relevant to practitioners and academics around the world. Please enjoy this site, read his work, and share it with students and colleagues.
