The University of Alaska Fairbanks offers a graduate training program in Regional Resilience and Adaptation (RR&A). The goal is to educate a new generation of scholars, policy makers, and managers to integrate the perspectives of natural and social sciences in addressing both the basic understanding of regional systems and the application of this understanding to management issues.

Students will focus on a major challenge facing humanity: the sustainability of desirable features of earth’s ecosystems and society at a time of rapid change in all of the major forces that shape their structure and functioning.
