This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities provides $916,096 in funding to Alaska Pacific University from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026. The award supports research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.

Specifically, the university will evaluate near-term and long-term water and sanitation service prospects in rural Alaskan communities facing environmental changes like erosion, permafrost thaw, and flooding. Researchers will measure landscape alteration from rising sea levels and permafrost collapse, utilizing new hydrographic data and developing high-resolution storm surge models. The project also seeks to develop the first water/sanitation-related coping cost estimates and service delivery models for rural Alaska under climate scenarios. Community-based monitoring programs will compare current change rates to historical and indigenous knowledge observations. Results will document effective co-production techniques for application in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region and beyond experiencing rapid climate impacts.
