UArizona Ranks #1 in Water Resources

The ShanghaiRanking Consultancy recently published its 2020 Academic Rankings of World Universities by academic subject, and the University of Arizona scored first among U.S. institutions and second globally in the water resources category. The rankings are based on metrics including the number of peer-reviewed journal publications, citation ratios, international collaboration, and staff awards. The University of Arizona has ranked in the top three globally for water resources research since ShanghaiRankings began tracking the category in 2017. UArizona News quotes Elizabeth Cantwell, Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation, “the University of Arizona has leveraged its natural surroundings with top-notch faculty across a variety of college and departments to generate influence in water studies that goes well beyond the Southwest to benefit arid and semi-arid regions around the world.” To learn more about water resources at the University of Arizona, visit the Water Network website.
