The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $700,865 Project Grant under the Geosciences CFDA program to the University of Northern Iowa for the research project "SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS TRANSFORMATION IN RIVER BASINS OF THE SUB-ARCTIC UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE (SESTRA)". This 5-year project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2028, aims to analyze the changing interactions between climate, water, and society in the Kuskokwim and Selenge River...
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,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $136,638 to Oregon State University to support research measuring sediment fluxes in boreal rivers in Alaska. The funding will be used to leverage recently developed do-it-yourself optical backscatter sensors to improve measurements of Arctic fluvial sediment fluxes. These lower-cost sensors will be enhanced with separate data logging and power capabilities as well as satellite-enabled data...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $581,673 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of New Hampshire, operating through its Office of Sponsored Research. The five-year grant aims to analyze the complex linkages between climate, hydrology, and social systems in the Kuskokwim and Selenge River basins of Alaska and Mongolia. The research will assess the combined impacts of climate and socioeconomic changes on human well-being and ecosystem...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $155,165 supports collaborative research to improve measurements of Arctic river sediment fluxes. The research will engage local Alaska Native students to collect data and supports early career women and students. Specifically, the award funds the development and deployment of low-cost "do-it-yourself" optical backscatter sensors to measure sediment concentrations in the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska across four seasons -...
This $1.125 million project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research and development of water and sanitation resilience strategies for rural Alaskan communities facing environmental change. Over a three-year period from January 2023 through December 2026, the University of Massachusetts will work with community partners in Kongiganak and Mekoryuk to evaluate near-term and long-term water provision...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $150,000 to the University of Arkansas to develop a low-cost approach to monitor the Qanirtuuq River ecosystem in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of Alaska. The project involves researchers from the University of Arkansas and a geospatial company, Nalaquq, to study riverine ecosystem stability and create efficient, technology-driven solutions to monitor changes. Key deliverables include establishing a geospatial database, developing maps and community-based workflows to assess migration, avulsion, and salmon population risks, and providing geospatial training to enable the local community to independently monitor the river and ecosystem. This multidisciplinary approach aims to fill the gap between community priorities and scientific research, empowering rural Alaskan communities impacted by environmental changes to make informed, locally-led decisions.
