Data reflects fiscal year 2020 except for scientific publications, which covers 2016–2020. Partner stories reflect work conducted from 2016 to present.
Researchers at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks are collaborating with ORNL and other national laboratories to use data, machine learning, and process-based modeling to explore the vulnerability of energy, military, and civilian infrastructure in Alaska. They are examining environmental hazards such as permafrost degradation, river navigability, coastal erosion, and subsidence. Collaborators include Los Alamos, Pacific Northwest, and Sandia National Laboratories.
