- This federal contract award, valued at $883,809.00, was granted to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract aims to quantify methane emissions associated with permafrost thaw in thousands of Alaskan and Northwest Canadian lakes using a combination of geospatial data, field observations, and modeling. This research contributes to NASA's Terrestrial Ecology program and the North American Carbon Program's efforts to...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) is for a project titled "THE GROUND TEMPERATURE VARIABILITY ACROSS THE ARCTIC LANDSCAPE." The purpose is to enhance understanding of permafrost conditions and variability across Alaska and northern Canada by deploying ground temperature profilers to supplement existing data loggers. This will help address the challenge of predicting subsurface...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AK84G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct research on "Measuring and Modeling the Response of the Solid Earth to Changes in the Cryosphere and the Earthquake Cycle in Southern Alaska." The $138,792.91 grant will support UAF's efforts to study the impact of glacier mass changes and tectonic activity on the solid Earth in this tectonically active region. The...
- This federal contract award, valued at $99,952.62, was granted to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct a sustainable, integrated Arctic research project in the Chukchi Sea. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is a grant for research activities that will be completed by August 31, 2022. UAF, through its Grants and Contracts Administration Division, is the prime contractor on this project and will...
- The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) was awarded a $272,196 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to extend the NISAR Science Team's research on permafrost, ionospheric correction, and disaster response. The grant, which runs through September 1, 2025, supports UAF's expertise in Arctic and climate science as it contributes algorithms and products to the joint NASA-Indian Space Research Organisation NISAR satellite mission. UAF, the prime contractor, will...
- This contract award to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for research into how perennial snowfields in the central Brooks Range of Alaska are being impacted by climate change. The $119,956.83 award will quantify changes in these snowfield extents and their interactions with Arctic caribou herds, which are crucial to the traditional subsistence of indigenous Alaskan communities. The research will leverage NASA's Earth...
- This federal contract award with ID NNX16AK55G was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) as the prime contractor. The $344,955 grant supports UAF's continued participation on the NISAR Science Definition Team (NSDT), representing the Earth Science Discipline Cryosphere. UAF's work under this grant focuses on four main objectives: (1) developing and validating science algorithms for observing permafrost change, (2) developing and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $113,908.14, was granted to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to utilize synthetic aperture radar data for rapid disaster response. The contract is a grant for research, with no set-aside designation. UAF, as the prime contractor, will leverage its expertise in Arctic and climate science, geophysics, and environmental monitoring to deliver innovative solutions addressing complex scientific...
- This is a $499,706 grant awarded by a civilian U.S. government agency to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) for research on "Trajectories and Feedbacks of Deformation from Thawing Ice-Rich Permafrost Following Climate Extremes." The grant has a completion date of January 31, 2027. UAF is a prominent public research institution serving as Alaska's flagship university, with extensive expertise in Arctic and sub-Arctic studies. The award is not set aside for any specific business...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AC32G, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Grants and Contracts Administration Division. The $3,167,411.23 award is for UAF to perform airborne missions in Alaska to conduct laser altimetry, surface mapping with lidar, and bed mapping radar measurements. This work will extend and link the measurements from past and current NASA satellite missions, such as ICESat, ICESat-2, and...
This federal contract award, valued at $763,646.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Grants and Contracts Administration Division. The award supports a study on the "Quantification of Thermokarst and Carbon Release in Ice-Rich Permafrost Regions." The objectives are to measure the spatial variation of thermokarst subsidence using remote sensing techniques, improve the quantification of thermokarst, estimate greenhouse gas and organic matter contents in permafrost, and evaluate the rates of potential carbon release upon thermokarst development. This work is expected to greatly increase understanding of the conditions and disturbances that lead to permafrost thaw, which has significant implications for climate change and Arctic ecosystems. The award does not carry a set-aside designation, reflecting UAF's status as a public university. This project relates to the future NASA L-band SAR program NISAR and represents a promising application of that satellite technology.
