General Information

The Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is a growing and expanding group of energetic young faculty who share a common interest in the physical, chemical, and dynamical processes of the polar atmosphere. While our main emphasis is polar atmospheric science, many of us have research projects centered on other regions around the globe. The group is housed in the newly constructed International Arctic Research Center building (IARC) which conducts research on all aspects of the atmosphere, ocean (sea ice), terrestrial, and biosphere of the arctic including connections to climate change. The atmospheric science group is also an integral part of the Geophysical Institute and works with the National Weather Service of Fairbanks. Our location in the sub-arctic positions us perfectly for Arctic research. Additionally, the local environment provides an excellent location for observation of unique scientific phenomena and outdoor exploration opportunities.

Research Opportunities

Currently, there are opportunities for research assistantships with a large number of faculty members in the program. Please contact any faculty member regarding the possibility of a research assistantship (for qualified applicants).
