The Fairbanks campus is the university's principal research center. UAF is among the top 10 universities in atmospheric sciences and meteorology in the nation. It is home to the UA Museum of the North, International Arctic Research Center, Geophysical Institute, the Institute of Arctic Biology and many other research centers.
