| Subcontractor | Department of Defense | 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 COLLECTION FOR THE PROJECT THAT OCCURS AS PART OF THE PROGRAM.
IN ADDITION, THEY WILL PARTICIPATE IN DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS AFTER THE JIRP EXPEDITION AND
PRESENT THE RESULTS OF THEIR WORK AT AGU MEETINGS IN YEARS 2 AND 4.
