It's getting close to showtime at Poker Flat RR to start the new launch season! See below for how you can stay up to date. NASA NASA Goddard #aurora UA Fairbanks University of Alaska

Get ready! It's getting close to launch time at Poker Flat RR. Launch window opens Tuesday for two missions to learn about some super-interesting types of #aurora. gi.alaska.edu/news/three-roc… NASA Goddard NASA Wallops UA Fairbanks University of Alaska


New research by UA Fairbanks scientists and others is yet another example of how the UAF Geophysical Institute and International Arctic Research Center are global leaders in #climate science. This latest work is also a call for action. #climatechange gi.alaska.edu/news/thawing-p…


Looking forward to sharing with Alaska Chamber the 2025 State of the University this week. University of Alaska is vital to Alaska's future, helping retain our best & brightest, grow the state’s population as a beacon of opportunity for those outside, and empower AK's workforce & economy.

Elevate your drone knowledge. Learn the history, basics and engineering of unmanned aircraft systems through two free online courses offered by UA Fairbanks. #drones #UAS University of Alaska International Arctic Research Center UAF eCampus gi.alaska.edu/news/uaf-offer…



Scientists at the UAF Geophysical Institute have produced the first remote sensing analysis of how water clouded by sediment in glacier meltwater moves on the surface of Alaska's popular Kachemak Bay.

Two NASA rockets successfully launched from Poker Flat RR this month in search of answers about forms of rapid auroral behavior. The second of those launched Saturday. UA Fairbanks University of Alaska gi.alaska.edu/news/first-roc…


Want to know about the recent NASA aurora research rocket missions at Poker Flat RR? Hear from the lead scientists in this great UA Fairbanks Geophysical Institute video by our Bryan Whitten and Eric Marshall. NASA Goddard youtu.be/FNcSYNXbOcc?fe…


A four-person UA Fairbanks team plans to land an unmanned aircraft in the crater of an active Costa Rica volcano this week to sample gas escaping from the soil. That's some trailblazing work. University of Alaska #dronepilot gi.alaska.edu/news/uaf-drone…


A rocket launching out of Poker Flat RR is always exciting. But three?! That's the plan. Three NASA rockets will launch over the course of about three hours when the launch period opens next week. NASA Goddard gi.alaska.edu/news/poker-fla…


The AWESOME rocket mission has wrapped up at Poker Flat RR. Three rockets! UA Fairbanks University of Alaska NASA Goddard NASA #aurora gi.alaska.edu/news/launch-th… Much more here: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/f8fb56…


Winter’s sea ice extent in the Arctic set a new record low as it peaked March 22, according to the Alaska Climate Research Center’s monthly report. ACRC is at the UA Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. National Snow and Ice Data Center gi.alaska.edu/news/alaska-cl…


Drones. A boiling volcano crater in Central America. Our team at the UA Fairbanks Geophysical Institute was up for this experimental mission. Check out our interactive mission website to see how our drone tech was used to make sampling an active volcano safer and efficient.


It's kind of like being at the beach without being at the beach. Tiny Gulf of Alaska ocean wave vibrations unnoticeable by humans reach as far north as the state’s Arctic coastline. Check out the new research by Ph.D. student Sebin John of the UA Fairbanks Geophysical Institute



An international study published today in Science Magazine has found that Earth’s glaciers will lose 76% of their 2020 mass under current climate policy pledges. Alaska would lose 69% of its glacier mass. A UA Fairbanks professor is among the co-authors. gi.alaska.edu/news/study-fin…


The UA Fairbanks Geophysical Institute and Alaska Aerospace Corp. agree to jointly develop and offer spaceport services to the booming commercial rocket and satellite industry. The agreement could lead to commercial launches at Poker Flat RR. gi.alaska.edu/news/geophysic…
