RESEARCH AT NEVADA is an integral part of the state's economic and intellectual growth and development, as well as the nation's. University research spans issues relating to the environment, renewable energy resources, the life sciences and plasma physics.
Researchers at the University study the availability, movement and quality of water worldwide, as well as water's role in the development of geothermal energy. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and wildfires, and 21st-century challenges of terrorism, adult stem-cell research and global public health issues, are also "under the microscope" at Nevada.
