Resource Characterization
Research in this area is primarily focused in the geosciences led by a team of mineralogists and petrologists. The Advanced Instrumentation laboratory has capacity for basic and advanced mineral identification and characterization to improve exploration, discovery, and mineral processing.
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.
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.
