The University of Hawaii at Manoa placed 10 of its subject areas in the nation's top 30, a win for the school's reputation and for students in its science and engineering fields.

• Oceanography, atmospheric science, geography, hospitality and tourism, and civil engineering all made the top 30.
• Agricultural sciences and ecology also landed on the list.
• The rankings compared about 2,000 universities worldwide, so the placements reflect global competition, not just US schools.
• UH leadership called the result proof of the work faculty, students, and staff are doing in research areas like climate change, conservation, and astronomy.

Outlook: Strong rankings in these fields should help UH Manoa attract research funding and students drawn to ocean, climate, and tourism studies.
