Join Us in Making an Impact through Research
The stakes have never been higher. Through collaboration and innovation, UArizona research has greater impacts.
Researchers at the University of Arizona make up a diverse community of people who thrive on innovation and collaboration. Many have played a part in groundbreaking projects ranging from exploring Mars and collecting an asteroid sample, to studying rainforests and oceans—outside and under 7.2MMcf of sealed glass—and using wastewater to detect COVID-19.
We bring together faculty and other researchers from disciplines spanning campus to tackle complex challenges and questions related to our world. This range of expertise, when combined, broadens opportunities for innovation and solutions with impact.
This expertise pulls from strengths at every corner of UArizona:
Space and Planetary Sciences
UArizona is home to world-renowned observatories, state-of-the-art telescopes, and leading university departments and centers carrying out research in astronomy and planetary and space sciences. We mapped the moon, lead NASA missions, build the world’s largest telescopes, and are ranked No. 1 in astronomy and astrophysics expenditures by the National Science Foundation.

Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research
More than 80 years ago, the scientific study of tree-rings was formalized by the creation of the LTRR, the nation’s first and largest dendrochronology lab. The world-renowned lab is responsible for many significant contributions to the field and home to the largest and most diverse collection of tree-ring specimens.
