Environment and Sustainability Research

Research and creative activity that makes an impact.

Every day at the University of Arizona, scientists, researchers, and artists are working across disciplines to help deepen understanding of our world and develop solutions to our toughest challenges.

Home to more than 70 world-class research centers, institutes, laboratories, networks and programs, the University of Arizona supports a wide network of professionals, students, and community members committed to serving people and the planet.

The work we do on campus and in the community has given policymakers and natural resource managers the information they need to make decisions that protect lives, health, economies and landscapes in the Sonoran Desert and beyond.
