Research

Hundreds of UA scholars from more than 40 schools, departments, and other programs in nearly all UA colleges focus their talents and expertise to help understand past, present, and future relationships between people and their environment in the Southwest and around the world.

The UA is home to dozens of centers, institutes, and laboratories that tackle pressing issues related to climate, ecosystems, water, renewable energy, and many other critical environmental challenges.

From the Amazon to the poles to the upper atmosphere, UA scholars carry out hundreds of research projects every year that advance our understanding of pressing issues such as water sustainability, climate change, ecosystem conservation, and energy through both disciplinary and interdisciplinary efforts.

The University of Arizona offers students opportunities to reach beyond traditional classroom learning and participate in hands-on learning through research. Research opportunities are not just for students studying science and are available in every aspect of the environment and sustainability.
