项目摘要

This Division of Earth Sciences Instrumentation and Facilities Program award supports acquisition of three survey-grade unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for airborne topographic mapping, hardware and software for associated Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetric processing, and two Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) receivers and antennas for ground-based surveying. The requested instrumentation will support faculty and student research and research training at the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau, AK. The investigators will engage students in hands-on experiential learning using the requested equipment and are active in public outreach discussing avalanche and glacial lake outburst flood hazards and the effects of changing climate on regional mountain glaciers. The University of Alaska Southeast is a Native Alaskan serving institution and the PIs are active in outreach to Native Alaskans through extant University programs and through contact with the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida in Juneau. Research projects that will take advantage of the UAVs for topographic mapping include process-based studies of glacier-ocean interactions, glacier lake outburst floods, sedimentation and erosion, and avalanche dynamics. Field areas will include the Mendenhall glacier, Mt. Juneau avalanche field, and Taku glacier, all located very close to the University but comprised of rugged and largely inaccessible terrain across Southeast Alaska. The UAVs and related GNSS base stations will permit topographic surveys in this challenging terrain with unprecedented accuracy and speed to observe rapidly changing mountain glaciers, glacial lakes and avalanche prone areas in a safe manner and with direct implications for monitoring potential hazards and mitigating loss of life and infrastructure in the municipality of Juneau.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项地球科学师仪器和设施计划奖奖支持收购三个调查级无人驾驶飞机（UAV），用于空中地形地形图，硬件和软件，用于相关结构（SFM）摄影测量处理，以及两个全球导航卫星系统（GNSS）接收器（GNSS）接收器和基于地面的调查。要求的仪器将支持阿拉斯加州朱诺市阿拉斯加东南大学的教师研究与研究培训。调查人员将使用所需的设备吸引学生进行实践体验式学习，并积极参与公共活动，讨论雪崩和冰川湖爆发洪水危害以及气候变化对区域山地冰川的影响。阿拉斯加东南大学是阿拉斯加原住民服务机构，PIS通过现有的大学计划和与朱诺的泰林吉特和海达中央理事会接触，活跃于阿拉斯加人的土著计划。将利用无人机进行地形映射的研究项目包括基于过程的冰川 - 海洋相互作用，冰川湖爆发洪水，沉积和侵蚀以及雪崩动态的研究。现场区域将包括门登霍尔冰川，朱诺山山山山山和塔克冰川，它们都非常靠近该大学，但由阿拉斯加东南部的崎and，在很大程度上难以接近地形组成。无人机和相关的GNSS基站将以前所未有的准确性和速度允许在这个具有挑战性的地形中进行地形调查，以安全的方式观察迅速变化的山地冰川，冰川湖泊和雪崩易于以安全的方式观察到潜在的危害和减少生命和基础结构的裁决，并以直接含义认为值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持。
