This program began under the Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research and continued under the original Cooperative Institute for Alaska Research cooperative agreement (CA) that expired in December 2014. We are hopeful that funding can be found to continue this highly successful program in our renewal CA.
In summer 2008, researchers from CIFAR and UAF’s Center for Global Change (CGC) created and led a novel, hands-on, intensive week-long course in climate change at the NOAA Kasitsna Bay Laboratory (KBL) near Homer, Alaska.
Following a competitive review process, 17 International Polar Year (IPY) student projects totaling $330,031 were funded through the Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research in Fall 2007 for research at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and University of Alaska Southeast (UAS).
