Annual Reports


A complete compendium of reports on the calendar year's research at SNRAS and AFES, the annual report provides a snapshot of each research project conducted by faculty, graduate students, and other researchers, detailing the purpose of the project, the approach taken, the progress or results of the project, and the impact those results have and their implications for Alaska. Topics are grouped into five broad themes: geographic information, high-latitude agriculture, high-latitude soils, management of ecosystems, and natural resources use and allocation. Reports are indexed for easy searches, and bookmarked by section. A financial statement, grants listing, faculty list, and student statistics are also included. The current report is for the previous calendar year.

on the cover: Geography Awareness Week, hosted by the UA Geography Program, a department of SNRAS, included an event on Nov. 19 at the UAF Wood Center based on the theme “Geography: the Adventure in Your Community.” Pearl Creek Elementary School fourth grade teacher Mary Maisch brought a huge 3-D map of Alaska her students made. The detailed relief map featured rivers, mountain ranges, parks, forests, cities and villages.

This report covers two years' worth of research, highlighting the Agricultural Research Service's integrated pest and invasive plant management projects as well as the work of SNRAS. Highlights of AFES and SNRAS research include examination of environmental policy and law; effect of progesterone and melatonin on gestation length in reindeer; alternative agronomic crops; poplar as a short-rotation bio-energy crop; and organic amendments and fish byproducts for peonies.

Covering SNRAS' partners, facilities, research sites, programs, and research in geography, high latitude agriculture and soils, management of ecosystems, and natural resources use and allocation, the annual report for calendar year 2009 shows the breadth of scientific research we do. From marine transportation policy to artificial insemination of reindeer, from biofuels to peony production, from phosphorus and carbon in northern soils to climate change and the anthropology of wood use, from crab fisheries management to wetlands habitat in Fairbanks, our scientists and students are on the cutting edge of modern scientific discovery.
