- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $399,959 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks to conduct research on the long-term effects of thawing on permafrost instability in the Brooks Range, Alaska. The goal is to use geomorphic monitoring, remote sensing, and tree-ring data to determine the seasonality and variability of frozen debris lobe (FDL) instability over the past ~300 years. By comparing this historical FDL data with climate...
- 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 $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 Division of Polar Programs awarded $133,435 under the ELOKA PHASE V: COLLABORATIVE DATA STEWARDSHIP AND KNOWLEDGE MOBILIZATION FOR ARCTIC COMMUNITY-DRIVEN RESEARCH AND OBSERVING project grant to Calista Education And Culture, Inc. from February 1, 2021 to January 31, 2026. The project grant funding will support collaborative data stewardship and knowledge mobilization for Arctic community-driven research and observing as part of the NSF Polar Programs....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs grant, awarded under CFDA 47.078, supports a research project at the University of New Mexico (UNM) to study the physical and chemical drivers of carbon cycling in Arctic landscapes. The $149,288 award will fund one postdoctoral researcher and analysis of field samples collected from the Canning River in Alaska. The project aims to develop a model simulating carbon flow across the Arctic landscape, including the transformation of...
- The University of Alaska Fairbanks will provide collaborative data stewardship and knowledge mobilization services for Arctic community-driven research and observing under a $248,009 National Science Foundation Project Grant award. The grant was awarded on February 1, 2021 with a completion date of January 31, 2026. The award is part of the NSF's Polar Programs, which provides funding under Assistance Listing Number 47.078 to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through expansion of...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $299,817 project grant to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. to conduct collaborative research from November 2021 through October 2024. The research aims to improve understanding of how amplified Arctic warming may influence extreme weather patterns in midlatitudes, as supported by the NSF Polar Programs CFDA #47.078. This program seeks to strengthen polar research and understanding through basic science best...
The National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $138,008 project grant to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) for the "Collaborative Research: The Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring Network-CALM VI (2025-2028): Long-Term Observations on Arctic Permafrost" project. This project, jointly funded by the Arctic Observing Network (AON) and Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), will support long-term standardized measurements of active layer thickness and dynamics in Arctic permafrost regions. The data collected will enhance understanding of geographic distribution and trends in active layer behavior, which is critical for infrastructure planning and development in the rapidly changing Arctic. The project will contribute to the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) international network and help improve the reliability of global ecosystem models and satellite mission products. The award period is from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028.
