  • “SCOPE OF WORK €€Œ SUBAWARD FOR QUANTIFYING SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF TEMPERATE SNOWPACK PROPERTIES USING COUPLED RADAR, REMOTE SENSING, AND MODELING TECHNIQUES DR. KIYA RIVERMAN (UNIVERSITY OF PORTLAND) THE PURPOSE OF THIS SUBAWARD IS FOR DR. RIVERMAN AND TWO UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS PER YEAR TO PROVIDE SEISMIC TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, INSTRUMENTATION, DATA COLLECTION, DATA PROCESSING, AND GENERAL INTELLECTUAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE RESEARCH CONDUCTED ON THIS PROJECT. AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, DR. RIVERMAN WILL: 1. COLLECT ACTIVE-SOURCE SEISMIC DATA 2. COLLECT PASSIVE-SOURCE SEISMIC DATA 3. COLLECT THERMAL DATA AT DEPTH (THERMISTOR STRINGS) 4. COLLABORATE IN THE INTEGRATION OF THE ABOVE DATASETS WITH THE OTHER DATASETS COLLECTED ON THIS PROJECT DR. RIVERMAN IN PARTICULAR WILL USE A COMBINATION OF GEOPHYSICAL TECHNIQUES TO DESCRIBE GROUND STABILITY AND THE LIKELIHOOD FOR AVALANCHES AND GROUND SLUMPING AS SUMMER TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE ICEFIELD RISE. RIVERMAN WILL USE ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SOURCE SEISMIC TECHNIQUES TO DESCRIBE NEAR SURFACE AND SNOWPACK STABILITY. SHE WILL WORK WITH LEEMAN GEOPHYSICAL TO DESIGN AND BUILD NOVEL THERMISTOR SENSORS FOR MONITORING GROUND TEMPERATURE AND CALCULATING THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF THE NEAR SURFACE GEOLOGY. FROM ACTIVE SOURCE SEISMIC DATA SHE WILL MEASURE ACTIVE LAYER DEPTH OF PERMAFROST. PASSIVE SEISMIC DATA WILL PROVIDE MONITORING FOR SLUMPING EVENTS, WHICH WILL BE TRIANGULATED. THIS WORK WILL RESULT IN IMPROVED PREDICTIVE POWER FOR DESCRIBING WHEN AND WHERE GROUND FAILURES WILL OCCUR. THE WIDESPREAD SCOPE OF THE PROJECT (GENERALLY FOCUSED ON LANDSCAPE CHANGE IN A WARMING WORLD) INVOLVES A LARGE SUITE OF OBSERVATIONS ACROSS MULTIPLE INSTITUTIONS. DR. RIVERMAN€„¢S STUDENTS WILL BENEFIT FROM COLLABORATION WITH RESEARCHERS ACROSS THIS LARGE MULTIINSTITUTION EFFORT. DR. RIVERMAN€„¢S STUDENTS EACH SUMMER WILL FULLY PARTICIPATE IN THE JUNEAU ICEFIELD RESEARCH PROGRAM AND ASSIST IN ALL DATA COLLECTIO”
