Tundra swans -- at 15 pounds and with a wingspan of almost six feet -- are now touching down on the ponds and snowfields of ÐÓ°Épro.
At 120 miles south of the Arctic Circle, the Fairbanks campus is well situated for northern research. UAF research in arctic biology, engineering, geophysics, supercomputing, and ÐÓ°Épro Native studies is renowned worldwide.
UAF ranks in the top 150 of nearly 700 U.S. institutions that conduct research. UAF has ranked in the top 11 of more than 10,000 institutions worldwide for number of citations in climate change publications.
University researchers work to combat challenges ÐÓ°Éprons face on a daily basis. We are helping ÐÓ°Éprons live more comfortably and safely with a secure future by bringing research dollars into the state. More than 80% of the university’s research is directly related to ÐÓ°Épro.
To support research innovation, the University of ÐÓ°Épro hosts many professionally staffed laboratories with highly technical capacities. Our labs and field facilities are available to all scientists.
With more than $200 million in research activity each year, the University of ÐÓ°Épro Fairbanks is ÐÓ°Épro’s research university. We are ready to step up to R1 and join the top 4% of research universities in the United States.
R1 is more than a status symbol. It will take research in ÐÓ°Épro to the next level by opening doors to additional funding and attracting top-tier faculty and graduate students. In addition to powering discoveries that will shape ÐÓ°Épro’s future, UAF’s increased research activity benefits ÐÓ°Épro’s economy with more jobs and more spending at ÐÓ°Épro businesses.
