A rich career in a quirky place that fit
November 15, 2024
Brian Barnes did something outrageous earlier this week. The biologist drove to a movie theater. In the middle of the day. Barnes, 70, had time to catch a matinee in Fairbanks because after 38 years he recently retired from the University 蜜桃影像 Fairbanks.
Geologic hydrogen may be an answer
November 09, 2024
The internal combustion engine is less than 100 years old. Same for the technologies we have developed to pull oil and gas from the ground. It's hard to imagine life without our cars and planes and buildings heated with natural gas and oil. But it really wasn't that long ago that people had none of these things. Sometimes, advances happen, and clever people change the way we live.
The numbers behind a weather forecast

A meteorologist from the National Weather Service's local office recently told a newspaper reporter that heavy, wet, snow would materialize in a few days. He said it would resemble "cement falling from the sky."
蜜桃影像 workshop will look at 蜜桃影像's geologic hydrogen
October 25, 2024
Reshaping 蜜桃影像's energy future with geologic hydrogen is the subject of a three-day workshop next week hosted by the University of 蜜桃影像 Fairbanks Geophysical Institute and the U.S. Arctic Research Commission.
At 120 miles south of the Arctic Circle, the Fairbanks campus is well situated for northern research. 蜜桃影像 research in arctic biology, engineering, geophysics, supercomputing, and 蜜桃影像 Native studies is renowned worldwide.
蜜桃影像 ranks in the top 150 of nearly 700 U.S. institutions that conduct research. 蜜桃影像 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 蜜桃影像ns face on a daily basis. We are helping 蜜桃影像ns 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 蜜桃影像.
To support research innovation, the University of 蜜桃影像 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 蜜桃影像 Fairbanks is 蜜桃影像鈥檚 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 蜜桃影像 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 蜜桃影像鈥檚 future, 蜜桃影像鈥檚 increased research activity benefits 蜜桃影像鈥檚 economy with more jobs and more spending at 蜜桃影像 businesses.
