Advanced Instrumentation For Microbiome Studies (AIMS) Core Lab
The Advanced Instrumentation For Microbiome Studies (AIMS) Core Lab provides advanced instrumentation and expertise to fully characterize microbes both as isolates and/or communities. AIMS is the only lab providing microbiome services in the Network of IDeA-Funded Core Laboratories (NiCL) that includes organismal analysis to characterize new isolates.
Advanced Instrumentation Lab (AIL)
The Advanced Instrumentation Lab (AIL) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is a multi-instrument resource for the state of Alaska. It specializes in surface and elemental analysis as well as electron microscopy. In addition to the instrumentation it also houses support sample preparation facilities.
Alaska Critical Mineral Hydrogeochemistry Lab
The Alaska Critical Mineral Hydrogeochemistry Lab is focused on investigating 1) geology and geochemistry of lithium and other critical elements/minerals for the energy transition, and 2) hydrogeochemistry and fluxes of carbon and trace elements in high latitude and altitude regions over a spectrum of hydroclimatic environments.
Arctic Infrastructure Development Center (AIDC)
The Arctic Infrastructure Development Center (AIDC) is dedicated to improving the quality of life for those who call the Arctic home.
Economic Geology
The Economic Geology program at the University of Alaska consists of Rainer Newberry and faculty members broadly interested in economic geology-related problems.
Geochronology Lab
The Geochronology Laboratory measures the ages of rocks and minerals using the 40Ar/39Ar method. This facility accepts analysis requests from researchers, state and federal agencies, and industry.
Hyperspectal Imaging Lab (HyLab)
The Hyperspectral Imaging Laboratory (HyLab) was established to provide a much needed capability for hyperspectral imaging in the State of Alaska supporting science, applications, and education. Hyperspectral imaging, also known as imaging spectroscopy, is an advanced remote sensing technology that helps researchers to measure rather than simply observe from a distance. The technology uses sophisticated sensors that can scan and generate hundreds of images of any target material on the surface of the Earth.
Mineral Industry Research Lab (MIRL)
The Mineral Industry Research Lab (MIRL) research activities, devoted to finding, developing and utilizing Alaska’s minerals include, but are not limited to, the following study areas: Improved exploration methods, new resource development, mining in frozen ground, surface coal mining in the Arctic, mine and mill design, mineral processing engineering, use of radiotracer techniques in placer gold recovery, hydrometallurgical and electrochemical processes for heap leaching of gold ores in the Arctic and sub Arctic, coal characterization and beneficiation, coal utilization, coal-water fuel production, mineral market evaluations, and environmental concerns associated with mining and metallurgy.
Mining and Mineral Engineering
The College of Engineering and Mines (CEM) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has been educating engineering students since 1922. Originally, it was founded as the Alaska Agriculture College and School of Mines in 1917. Over the years, students from around the world have pursued their engineering degree with us, taking advantage of the opportunity to learn one-on-one from outstanding faculty in the unique environment of Interior Alaska.
Stable Isotope Lab
The Stable Isotope Lab (ENRI SIL) is a state-of-the-art analytical facility that quantifies stable isotope ratios to assist researchers studying processes on short and long time scales.
UAA Environmental Engineering Lab
UAF Experimental Petrology Lab
The UAF Experimental Petrology Lab contains an array of high pressure and temperature equipment used to recreate the conditions of subsurface magma plumbing systems. Coupled with the analytical equipment housed within AIL, the Experimental Petrology Lab provides powerful tools that compliment UAF’s broad research expertise in Volcanology.
Water and Environmental Research Center (WERC)
Water and Environmental Research Center (WERC) conducts basic and applied research related to water and environmental resources. Research disciplines at WERC include: environmental, civil, and arctic engineering; environmental science; oceanography; limnology; hydrology; microbiology; geochemistry; and hydraulics.
