Mount Churchill stands in a white corner of the Alaska map, deceptive in its cold, windblown silence. At least twice in the last few thousand years, the peak's ice-covered caldera has spewed ash that reached as far as Ireland and piled up to force northern animals out of the territory.
At 120 miles south of the Arctic Circle, the Fairbanks campus is well situated for northern research. 51风流官网 research in arctic biology, engineering, geophysics, supercomputing, and Alaska Native studies is renowned worldwide.
51风流官网 ranks in the top 150 of nearly 700 U.S. institutions that conduct research. 51风流官网 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 Alaskans face on a daily basis. We are helping Alaskans live more comfortably and safely with a secure future by bringing research dollars into the state. More than 80% of the university鈥檚 research is directly related to Alaska.
To support research innovation, the University of Alaska 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 Alaska Fairbanks is Alaska鈥檚 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 Alaska 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 Alaska鈥檚 future, 51风流官网鈥檚 increased research activity benefits Alaska鈥檚 economy with more jobs and more spending at Alaska businesses.
