Earth Science & Remote Sensing

Arizona Geological Survey

the Arizona Geological Survey hosts a suite of services congruent with their role as Arizona's primary earth science resource provider, including: geologic mapping - bedrock and surficial, mineral assessment, geoinformatics, basin analysis, geologic hazard assessment, geoscience education and outreach.

Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research

The Tree-Ring Lab is recognized worldwide as a preeminent center for the advancement of tree-ring techniques and the broad application of dendrochronology in the social and environmental sciences.

Earth Dynamics Observatory (EDO)

EDO supports the UA space sciences platform with a downward-looking view to Earth, specializing in satellite remote sensing to monitor and predict changes to the Earth system and inform hazards mitigation and national security in the face of natural disasters, a changing climate, and other environmental stresses.

Climate Dynamics and Hydrometeorology Center (CDHC)

The Climate Dynamics and Hydrometeorology Center coordinates interdisciplinary research on hydrometeorology and climate among eleven academic units on campus and assists the transfer of hydrometeorology and climate knowledge to the local community, Arizona, the nation, and the world.

Catalina-Jemez Critical Zone Observatory

The UA-led Santa Catalina Mountains and Jemez River Basin Critical Zone Observatory aims to improve understanding of the function, structure, and co-evolution of biota, soils, and landforms that comprise the critical zone by examining and measuring geomorphic, hydrologic, and biogeochemical interactions within it.

Arizona Remote Sensing Center (ARSC)

ARSC works on wide range of international, national, regional, and local projects in which advanced airborne and satellite remote sensing data and other geospatial information technologies are utilized to help address both fundamental and applied issues in natural resource management.

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Laboratory

The NSF-UA Accelerator Mass Spectrometry facility is dedicated to the study of cosmogenic isotopes, with special emphasis on radiocarbon, 14C. The laboratory acts both as an analytical resource to the general community and as a research and training center.
