This Project Grant award of $325,875.00 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to assess the contribution of permafrost-derived greenhouse gases to global warming since the last glacial maximum. The project combines data on permafrost thaw records, paleoclimate evidence, and ice core-based greenhouse gas concentrations to better understand the effects of warming and permafrost instability on...
This Project Grant award of $399,959 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research by the University of Alaska Fairbanks to investigate the long-term effects of thawing on permafrost instability in the Brooks Range of Alaska. The key objectives are to use geomorphic monitoring, remote sensing, and tree-ring analysis to reconstruct the seasonality and variability of frozen debris lobe (FDL) instability over the past ~300 years. By comparing this...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports an exploratory study led by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The research aims to examine how climate change impacts traditional food intake and health in Alaskan Native communities. The project will integrate geoscience data on climate variables like temperature, precipitation, and sea ice extent with dietary biomarkers from blood samples to model longitudinal relationships...
This $1,039,772 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to study the impacts of warming saline permafrost in the Arctic. The key research objectives are to: 1) Analyze the spatial distribution and properties of saline permafrost, 2) Assess how ice wedge formation and thaw have influenced near-surface saline permafrost, and 3) Determine the response of warming saline permafrost...
This $121,069 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund a collaborative research project to understand and forecast long-term variations in the geophysical and geomechanical characteristics of degrading permafrost in Arctic Alaska due to climate change. The project will embed a 1.5-kilometer fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing array in Utqiaġvik, Alaska to monitor permafrost conditions over time. The research team will develop...
The National Science Foundation awarded $167,634 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks for the period of March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2025. The award will support collaborative research to better understand divergent tree growth patterns in Arctic treeline forests relative to temperature variability. The grantee will leverage an existing tree ring dataset and conduct fieldwork at key Alaskan and Canadian sites showing unusual...
This $602,967 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program. The grant supports a multiscale research project to enhance understanding of permafrost and frozen soil properties, and how they respond to climate change over time. The research team from Montana State University will employ advanced imaging techniques, laboratory experiments, and computer simulations to investigate how microstructural features of frozen soil affect...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $500,000, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) 47.050 Geosciences program, supports research by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to analyze the changing interactions between climate, water, and society in the Kuskokwim and Selenge River basins of sub-Arctic Alaska and Mongolia. The interdisciplinary research project aims to assess the impact of climate and socioeconomic changes on local communities, ecosystems, and infrastructure,...
