  1. Leveraging research and future funding opportunities HajoEickenGeophysical Institute & International Arctic Research Center University of Alaska Fairbanks hajo.eicken@gi.alaska.edu UAF-DGGS-ACCAP Cryosphere Hazards WS

  2. Opportunities • RFPs and initiatives by federal agencies with potential links to Alaska (e.g., NOAA CIFAR, BOEMRE-CMI, etc.) • University programs & initiatives (e.g., AUTC, SNAP) • Arctic Observing Network – Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) • Responding to Change – SEARCH UAF-DGGS-ACCAP Cryosphere Hazards WS

  3. Cooperative Institute For Alaska Research(partnership with NOAA) TWEAK: Tsunami Warning and Environmental Observatory for Alaska • Development of new tsunami hazard mitigation tools (numerical-hydrodynamic models) • Tsunami computational portal • Seismic network maintenance and upgrading • Earthquake detection and warning with seismology • Assessment of tsunami hazard and wave run-up • Education and outreach (adults and students) UAF-DGGS-ACCAP Cryosphere Hazards WS

  4. Alaska Tsunami Online Mapping Calculations and post-processing • Specify community • Specify grids • Choose source • Choose parameters • Inundation limits • Inundation depths • Drag force • Time series • The model: flux-formulated NLSW equations • The code: FORTRAN, using PETSc and MPI • Hardware: Sun Opteron cluster at ARSC • Visualization: Google maps and NCL • Data formats: ASCII, NetCDF, KML • Specify CPU hours and nodes • Submit the job • Monitor the job Job setup Visualization and archiving UAF-DGGS-ACCAP Cryosphere Hazards WS

  5. Tsunami Inundation Mapping Workflow Numerical Modeling Tsunami Scenarios Data preparation Model verification with field observations (i.e. 1964 tsunami) Google Earth layers Inundation maps and report UAF-DGGS-ACCAP Cryosphere Hazards WS

  6. Alaska University Transportation Center • Framework to transfer engineering science into applications • Link to expertise and collaborative networks within academia • Cf. presentation by D. Goering, Dean CEM UAF-DGGS-ACCAP Cryosphere Hazards WS

  11. Arctic Observing Network (AON) • Roughly 50 AON projects (incl. support by NOAA & others) • Data dissemination and archival at Coop Arctic Data & Information Servicewww.aoncadis.org • State of AON: • Scientific community, federal/state/local agencies, stakeholders and general public all with a vision for an Arctic observing system • Now is the time to parse these perspectives and consolidate long-term observing efforts

  13. Overall SEARCH Strategy Science Plan & Implementation Strategy at:http://arcus.org/SEARCH/index.php Observing system Focus of IPY AO Understanding Change SEARCH/ARCSS Task Force Responding to Change; Needs implementation

  14. E.g.: NASA Applied Science Program • The program funds applied science research and applications projects to enable near-term uses of Earth science, transition applied knowledge to public and private organizations, and integrate Earth science and satellite observations in organizations’ decision making and services. • The projects are carried out in partnership with end user organizations. • The Disasters applications area focuses on forecasting, mitigation, and response to natural and technological disasters. • Call for proposals expected in near future – build on this workshop? • Contact Franz Meyer, UAF – fmeyer@gi.alaska.edu for details UAF-DGGS-ACCAP Cryosphere Hazards WS

  15. What is needed? • Assessment of information needs of decision-makers and research capacity of academia • Framework to support communication, coordination and follow-up with respect to research and information needs • Realistic expectations • Ability to seize major opportunities UAF-DGGS-ACCAP Cryosphere Hazards WS
