The Resiliency Research Team explores the processes that make systems fragile, and the mechanisms to design resilient systems. We focus on food, water, and community systems, with abroad portfolio of projects. The systems approach our team has developed allows us to explore, simulate, and design solutions to complex problems at scales from micro-to-global. The Resiliency Center Scholars, graduate students funded through our projects, are the heart of the research team.

The University of Arkansas Resiliency Center partners with organizations and programs around the world to solve complex problems in water, food and community resiliency.

The Resiliency Center is an interdisciplinary education, research, and outreach program. We fund these critical activities through competitive grants, awards, collaborative projects, and gifts.

The Mission of the University of Arkansas Resiliency Center (RESC) is to explore what makes food, water and community systems resilient (or fragile), and to developing strategies for increasing the resiliency of these critical life-support systems. We are an interdisciplinary center of faculty, students, and staff from across every college on the U of A campus. We are hosted by the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design, in partnership with the College of Engineering and Walton College of Business.

The Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design offers professional design education, a vital school-wide design culture and an educational environment grounded in critical design thinking, multidisciplinary collaborations and civic engagement.

The College of Engineering is the only comprehensive doctorate-granting engineering program in Arkansas, offering graduate and undergraduate degrees in 10 engineering fields, as well as incorporating distance learning and interdisciplinary programs. Faculty research includes areas such as electronics, energy, healthcare, nanotechnology, transportation and logistics.

The Sam M. Walton College of Business, the second-largest college at the University of Arkansas, advances and disseminates business knowledge using a diverse, inclusive and global perspective and encourages innovation in primary strategic endeavors: retail, data analytics and entrepreneurship.

The University of Arkansas Office for Sustainability motivates, facilitates, and coordinates innovation and progress through partnerships across the U of A to minimize the environmental impact of our campus.

The U of A Community Design Center advances creative development in Arkansas through design, research, and education solutions. Focused on public-interest design, the UACDC has becomea respected national authority in urban design and the shaping of the built environment.

The Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) is a multi-disciplinary center for spatial research and technology housed within the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas. CAST focuses on applications of geospatial technologies in research, teaching and service.
