==University of Alaska Fairbanks== The [[University of Alaska Fairbanks]] (UAF) was known officially as the University of Alaska from 1925 to 1975. UAF is home to the noted [[Geophysical Institute]], which operates the [[Poker Flat Research Range]], a collegiate rocket test range. Until 2015, there was also the [[Arctic Region Supercomputing Center]], the location of the only [[Cray]] supercomputer in the Arctic region. There is also the [[School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences]], which has facilities and research projects all over Alaska and the Arctic Ocean. It is the first university founded in Alaska and is the [[flagship institution]] of the University of Alaska system.<ref>Cole, Terrence (1994).
