Centers & institutes

The Fairbanks campus is the statewide university system's principal research center. The wide range of science conducted at UAF is supported by a number of research centers and institutes. UAF's location in interior Alaska provides easy access to glaciers, permafrost, the Pacific and Arctic oceans, and the elements of a subarctic climate. Accordingly, several research centers and academic departments focus their scholarly work on specific problems of the North.
