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.

An unexpected jolt had Takotna and McGrath residents on their toes yesterday at 7:40pm. The breaking of the Iditarod-Nixon Fork Fault left many surprised since significant seismicity hasn't occurred since 1935. Check out our latest story about this event here!

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…

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

The University of Alaska now owns the land beneath its upper atmospheric research facility near Gakona, nearly 10 years after acquiring the site’s science instruments from the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. government officially relinquished 1,158 acres beneath UAFHAARP earlier this year.

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…
