ARCTIC Lab

2026 continues to be an excellent year for the UND ARCTIC Lab with three new papers published by our teams in February and April: “The Arctic Knowledge-Based System: Science Gateway Integration for Petascale Arctic Data Processing and Geospatial Feature Prediction” Published in Elsevier’s Applied Computing and Geosciences journal in February. The paper focuses on the […]

UND ARCTIC Lab team members recently traveled to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) visiting the Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) and the UAF Geophysical Institute’s Permafrost Laboratory. The meetings involved tours of facilities and data-focused discussions surrounding Arctic geospatial data comprising numerous data types. Research in the UND ARCTIC Research Lab combines multiple disciplines, and this is reflected by the […]

Pictured above is the Yukon River Camp gas station, the only refueling station between Fairbanks and Coldfoot, Alaska, each over 100 miles away. This station plays a vital role when traveling along the infamously challenging Dalton Highway, especially during winter months that bring limited daylight and severe weather conditions.   Zooming in, you can see […]

2026 is off to a strong start for the UND ARCTIC Lab, with three high impact papers from our team published or accepted for publication over the last two months.   “Multi-horizon active layer thickness prediction across circum-Arctic permafrost regions using geospatial machine learning” was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and […]

“When science connects us, science is unstoppable.”  This December, presenting members of the UND ARCTIC Lab team had the honor of attending the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) 2025 conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, where we learned, connected, and shared the lab’s work with the wider scientific community.   AGU 2025 was an excellent way for UND […]

The UND Arctic Lab team is now at AGU! Of the 7 presenters accepted, today we feature Sheridan Parker who will be presenting her poster: The A-KBS Arctic Knowledge Based System: Science Gateway Integration for Exascale Arctic Data Processing and Geospatial Feature Prediction. A little background about Sheridan’s research journey:   Sheridan began her education with a BA from […]

The UND Arctic Lab is enthusiastic to announce that our new paper, “Multi-Horizon Active Layer Thickness Prediction across Circum-Arctic Permafrost Regions Using Geospatial Machine Learning,” has been accepted into the American Geophysical Union’s new Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation.   This prestigious AGU journal, the newest edition to the Journal of Geophysical […]

This week, the UND ARCTIC Lab is proud to highlight the work of Graduate Student Researcher Andrew Wilcox, whose background bridges the humanities and the sciences, both STEM and Non-STEM research, in a way that strengthens every project he touches.   Andrew first earned his bachelor’s degree in English at UND, where he also studied Arctic […]

This week, we’d like to spotlight an individual who has been deeply involved in the work of the UND ARCTIC Lab both in and out of the field: Stephen Miller: senior software engineer for digital twin applications in UND’s Computational Research Center.   A Grand Forks native, Stephen joined the United States Marine Corps in 2005, serving as a mechanic and being […]

Resource management is a critical element of any effective research operation, and the UND ARCTIC Research Lab is no exception. With a mission that involves cutting-edge equipment, distant field expeditions, and a large research team, it is vital to have a capable set of eyes keeping track of one of the most important research-related resources of all: fiscal stewardship.
