The Center for Negative Carbon Emissions is an internationally-recognized thought leader and pioneer in carbon dioxide removal technology and policy development. Through transdisciplinary research programs, the center invents, innovates, and produces fundamental knowledge in sorbent design and manufacturing; systems design, integration, and deployment; carbon dioxide utilization and sequestration; and political and socioeconomic impact assessments. Our educational and mentoring activities are creating the next generation workforce needed within the new carbon economy.

The Global Locust Initiative engages key actors in locust research and management to develop partnerships and solutions for transboundary pest management in agroecosystems around the world.

The Water Institute combines multidisciplinary academic research on observation, data analytics, technologies, and decision making in complex systems with solutions-based fieldwork to develop and test creative responses to water challenges faced by communities to nations around the world.

The Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center seeks new solutions to three topics: generating comparative knowledge of life's diversity; promoting the use of integrative informatics tools; and fostering direct and virtual learning experiences with biodiversity data and specimens.

The Center for Global Discovery and Conservation Science leads spatially-explicit scientific and technological research focused on mitigating and adapting to global environmental change.

The global future of water is about abundance and opportunity — not scarcity.

The Metis Center for Infrastructure and Sustainable Engineering seeks to provide the basis for understanding, designing and managing the complex integrated built/human/natural systems that increasingly characterize our planet in the Anthropocene – the Age of Humans.

The Nanotechnology-Enabled Water Treatment (NEWT) engineering research center leverages expertise and emerging technology to develop innovative off-grid water systems. With a goal to protect human life and promote sustainable economic development, NEWT creates technological and social systems that ensure well-being for those who need it the most. NEWT has resulted in several ÿÈÕ´óÈüpatents, a start-up company, and works with numerous start-ups and industries with significant manufacturing or job presence in Arizona. 

The National Science Foundation Water and Environmental Technology Center promotes scientific research that will ensure the quality of water by pooling the resources of the university and industry.
