About us
The University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute is a premier center of Arctic science. Our collection of 18 facilities and laboratories is unique, allowing our scientists to pursue a wide range of research that is based on the ground, in the air through manned and unmanned aircraft, or in space. We study permafrost, ice and snow; sea ice and the depths of the Arctic Ocean; coastal erosion; the seismicity and volcanology of Alaska; tectonic plates; the Arctic atmosphere; the aurora and other facets of near-Earth space. The list goes on. Our work helps the nation better understand climate change. It benefits public safety through research into warnings about earthquakes and volcano eruptions. It provides information about Arctic air pollution. It assists in national defense. At the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, we know the heightened importance of helping answer the many questions that arise from a changing Arctic.

Fieldwork for a scientist is, well, work. But it's also fun and rewarding in many ways. Research associate professor Jennifer Delamere of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute finds great joy in it. She talks about it here at her poster presentation Tuesday at #AGU24 in D.C. #UAFXAGU American Geophysical Union #topuniversity #research

Mount Churchill is the source of two prominent lobes of ash deposits in eastern Alaska and the Yukon Territory and is classified as a high-threat volcano. Here's University of Alaska Fairbanks professor Jessica Larsen, who is also associate director of the UAF Geophysical Institute, to tell you a little about it from her poster presentation Monday at #AGU24 in D.C. #UAFxAGU UAF College of Natural Science and Mathematics University of Alaska American Geophysical Union

Alrighty, we're all set for the opening of #AGU24 Monday in Washington, D.C. Loads of University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers will be making nearly 200 presentations at this annual weeklong meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Our researchers will be making nearly 200 presentations, with 100 of those from faculty, staff and graduate student researchers affiliated with the UAF Geophysical Institute. We're super proud of them. It's the Super Bowl of Geophysics! If you're attending AGU, stop by the UAF booth to say hi and learn about our research, learning and job opportunities. Oh, and also to score some of the event's swag from America's Arctic University. #UAFxAGU University of Alaska UAF College of Natural Science and Mathematics Alaska Satellite Facility Alaska Earthquake Center International Arctic Research Center

There's always more to learn about the aurora and its energy. Most electrons that create the aurora have a moderate amount of energy, but Doğacan Ozturk, assistant professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, and colleagues at other institutions want to know about the behavior of the high- and low-energy electrons that create the aurora. Read on to find out what Ozturk and her colleagues plan to do in this project funded by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Come join the world-renowned team of scientists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute.
We're hiring: Dear cryosphere community, please see the job advertisement below. Contact me for further detail. Application details can be found at: https://lnkd.in/gKCjJTgg Please spread the word. Martin Truffer The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks invites applications for a postdoctoral associate in snow hydrology for a project aimed at constraining uncertainty in temporal and spatial variability of snow water equivalent in a cold and dry continental climate. The postdoc is expected to take a lead role in the snowpack modeling field surveys conducted in the Alaska Range. This position is intended for a snow hydrologist to work on a large collaborative project that seeks to quantify the seasonal evolution of snowpacks across several climate zones in collaboration with researchers from the University of Alaska Southeast and the University of Maine. The work will focus on a field site in the Alaska Range in relatively cold and dry mountain conditions. The researcher will be part of the Snow Ice Permafrost group at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Funding is for one year with possibility of extension for one year. Applicants must have a PhD in snow science, hydrology, or a related field and a peer-reviewed publication record that is commensurate with experience. Excellent communication skills, experience programming, and experience with field data acquisition and/or analysis are highly desirable. We welcome applicants from a diversity of backgrounds. The Geophysical Institute is a research-driven organization at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The university offers an attractive work environment and strong benefits including retirement and health insurance, generous leave policies, and tuition waivers for UAF courses. The Geophysical Institute is committed to equity, inclusion, and accountability and values the open sharing of different perspectives. We support a respectful and welcoming environment and a commitment to serving Alaska and Alaskans with strong applied science. Career growth and professional development are expected and encouraged. As a public, regional, comprehensive university, UAF is committed to building a culturally diverse and inclusive organization and strongly encourages women, minorities, members from marginalized communities, individuals with disabilities, and veterans to apply.
