Progress 09/01/07 to 08/31/09
Outputs
UAF BBC and its Bristol Bay Environmental Science Lab (BBESL) have used USDA CSREES funds to strengthen experimental learning programs that apply environmental research and develop a place-based Environmental Studies Certificate. Funds have developed and maintained collaborative projects, increased headcount, promoted student research and internship opportunities, and investigated ecosystem health and climate change, these include: a) teaching how to monitor water quality in local watersheds, b) studying tidal power potential of Nushagak Bay, c) conducting benthic surveys in Nushagak and Meshik Bays, and d) developing sustainable energy business applications. We also helped food safety and security by appointing a regional Fisheries Advisory Agent and sustainability by hiring a Sustainable Energy Professor. Finally, another success was approval of the Environmental Studies Certificate by University of Alaska. Objective 1 The grant helped local businesses by contracting Alaska Wild Salmon, Blue Sky Solutions and REVUP. We continued our collaborative community research with USFWS, BBAHC, BBCRSA and BBNA through water quality and education projects. BBESL also received Microbiology Certification in August 2008; this program has been an asset to the Environmental Studies Certificate by training students. BBESL works with three partners to monitor drinking, surface, and recreational waters; 1) Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation, 2) Bristol Bay Coastal Resource Service Area and 3) USFWS Togiak National Wildlife Refuge. Further, this program has allowed us to work closely with UAF BBC Allied Health Program, using BBESL to assist students taking required microbiology courses. Objective 2 Total undergraduate student headcount increased 29% from 638 in fall 2008 to 695 in spring 2009. Students taking science courses increased 74% (96 in fall 2008 to 130 in spring 2009). The number of science courses offered increased 69% from 2008 to 2009. Six courses were piloted, including course in biodiesel, NEPA, electric cars, and sustainable food production. Students pursuing the Environmental Studies Certificate increased to 19 from 5 in fall 2008. Of these, 5 students are on track to complete their certificate by spring 2010. Two student interns were supported during the summer 2009 field season and helped to collect ecological and energy data, and 8 other students were enrolled as environmental interns. Interns completed independent research projects and presented overviews of their projects in community presentations. Objective 3: Exploring projects and careers related to ecosystem health included: 1) installing and monitoring solar panel arrays mounted on UAF BBC building exterior, 2) continuing to investigate tidal energy in Nushagak Bay for fishing fleet ice production, 3) secured future funding for summer programs including the intensive field methods course, and 4) participation at local and regional career fairs and conferences. PRODUCTS: Twenty-seven classes funded between fall 2008 and spring 2009, for a total of 49 credit hours. Two student interns supported during summer of 2009 (Deven Lisac and Sidney Nelson). Building on our success in 2008, the second annual Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference (WAISC) was held April 2009 in Nome, AK. An organizing committee was established to perpetuate this important regional conference and develop the Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Association. This association will promote regional and community science and help students develop their academic and professional careers. Quarterly newsletter is distributed throughout the community and academic world. This publication is easy-to-read and highlights BBESL projects both locally and regionally. A website for BBESL was developed to provide information on community research projects, the Environmental Studies Certificate program and internship opportunities. To continue measurements of tidal currents in Nushagak Bay to investigate using as an energy source for ice production to help local fishery develop value-added salmon products, the grant purchased a Workhorse Sentinel 600 Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler. BBESL faculty, staff and students presented papers at five conferences. BBESL faculty and staff attended four educational workshops and trainings. Promotional brochures, posters, student advising materials and were developed and distributed for recruitment, advising and general information regarding science-related activities and programs. During Alaska Forum for the Environment in Anchorage, UAF BBC shared an exhibitor's booth with Cooperative Extension Service and faculty presented two lectures. We saw an increase in sustainable energy related activities including: 1) a 2-credit course that converted a salvaged vehicle into an electric car 2) installing 24 solar panels to the UAF BBC building. Representatives from the state legislature, UA and UAF visited the campus and learned more about these projects, including UA President Hamilton, Chancellor Rogers, and Vice-Chancellor Joseph. Five evening science seminars were held and attended by the community, with topics ranging from ocean acidification to fish diversity. For the third year UAF BBC hosted the Alaska Ocean Film Festival, using the opportunity to open the campus to the community and encourage enthusiasm for science. As Natural History of Alaska is a foundation course for the Environmental Studies Certificate, we continue to partner with NOAA and Ted Stevens Marine Research Institute for the field intensive. This intensive included development of curriculum and hands-on learning lab and field activities. In April 2009 we sponsored 15 students for the class field trip to Juneau in April 2009. Field Methods in Environmental Science is a key course in the Environmental Studies Certificate and was updated and revised. It included a 7-day intensive field trip taught in Port Heiden, Alaska in August 2009, where 7 students completed the course. Faculty and Staff attended Microbiology Water Quality Analyst and Supervisor training in Anchorage, in compliance with EPA regulations regarding Certified Laboratories. OUTCOMES: Outcomes of this grant include: From Fall 2008 to Spring 2009 undergraduate student headcount increased 29% and students taking science courses offered increased by 74%. Further, the number of science courses offered increased 69% from 2008 to 2009. Six courses were piloted, including course in biodiesel, NEPA, electric cars, and sustainable food production. Students pursuing the Environmental Studies Certificate increased to 19 from 5 in fall 2008. Of these, 5 students are on track to complete their certificate by spring 2010. Interns completed independent research projects and presented overviews of their projects in community presentations. Installation and current monitoring of solar arrays mounted on UAF BBC building to serve as future education tool and demonstration project. We collected more data to gain a better understanding of Nushagak Bay tidal currents and their potential to serve the energy needs of the fishing fleet for ice production. This project has generated a lot of local interest and media. Also, faculty at UAF School Fisheries and Ocean Sciences are partnered in this project. Students gained experience and confidence through participating in local and regional career fairs and conferences. Seven students successfully completed ENVI Field Methods course, and six continued on taking program courses the next semester. Students shared experiences with Port Heiden school students and community members during informal presentations. Qayassiq Walrus Commission and ADF&G Sport Fish Division requested information concerning the Port Heiden ENVI Field Methods course. Continued to monitor and collect data on ecosystem health of two commercial and subsistence fish habitats: Squaw Creek and Nushagak Bay. UAF BBC's Environmental Studies Advisory Council continues to build linkages between UA campus, community groups, and government agencies, while providing advice on needed community research projects. Membership includes Bristol Bay Native Association (BBNA), Bristol Bay Economic Development Corporation (BBEDC), the four Bristol Bay school districts, US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), UAF main campus and UAA, and local village and tribal councils. UAF BBC attended regional career fairs to recruit students into science fields and to promote the Environmental Studies Certificate. While at these fairs we distributed materials including science brochures and flyers. BBESL received microbiology certification from Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Ecosystem health August 2008. Staff earned certification in Microbiology Water Quality Analysis. Faculty and staff earned certification as Microbiology Water Quality Supervisors. This has allowed us to work closely with UAF Allied Health Program, using BBESL to assist students taking required microbiology courses. The campus continued to promote a local fisheries business by contracting with Wild Salmon, to hire the F/V Jazz for use as a research vessel. The Jazz was used on research trawling and water quality sampling trips during 2008-2009. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES: This grant was responsible for 10 published abstracts at scientific conferences and 1 book chapter in preparation, including presentation at six science or higher-education conferences.

A website was developed for the Bristol Bay Environmental Science Lab to provide information on community research projects, the Environmental Studies Certificate program as well as internship opportunities. An informative website for the WAISC continues to be maintained. FUTURE INITIATIVES: UAF BBC and the BBESL are growing in both terms of students and programs. Future initiatives include expanding the amount of student and community research conducted in Bristol Bay. For example, by continuing our student internship program, student capstone research projects, and holding science intensives. UAF BBC plans to hold Environmental Studies Field Methods course in different Bristol Bay communities each summer to build on successes of the Port Heiden class. By following the model developed in this grant UAF BBC will continue to increase the educational influence we are having around the region. Further we hope to continue to strengthen academic and research ties with other UAF Rural Campuses and the UA system through student exchanges and increased collaboration with faculty and staff. As food safety and security becomes more important in Bristol Bay region UAF BBC plans to expand the horticulture programs by offer more gardening, soil, and composting classes while investigating feasibility of a community greenhouse and composting projects. The recently hired UAF Fisheries Advisory Agent will be an asset to these future plans. The results of the tidal data showed promise in terms converting currents into electricity on a small scale. Continued investigations however are necessary to assess the feasibility of making ice for the seafood industry. UAF BBC has already entered a partnership with UAF School of Fisheries and Ocean Science to continue this investigation. Long-term water quality monitoring projects will be continued and expanded to include other watersheds in the Bristol Bay region. These projects form an important part of the Environmental Studies Certificate program and are being strengthened on multiple fronts (i.e. partnerships with other agencies, State Certification status, summer internship projects). With the hire of the UAF BBC Sustainable Energy professor there will be continued growth of the Sustainable Energy Program, to include energy conservation, building science, and efficiency. Additionally, UAF BBC is looking into renewable energy systems such as, solar, wind and hydro as alternatives to diesel. A campus wide effort is underway to increase student retention and graduation rates, as well as bridging programs to encourage high school students to pursue college educations. These efforts plan to provide students with increased academic advising, mentoring, and tutoring.
Impacts
From 2006 to 2009 headcount increased 83%. For science courses student numbers have increased 74% (96 in fall 2008 to 130 in spring 2009) and the number of science courses offered increased 69% from 2008 to 2009. Six courses were piloted, including course in biodiesel, electric cars, and sustainable food production. Students pursuing the Environmental Studies Certificate increased to 19 from 5 in fall 2008. UAF BBC has developed lasting partnerships and significantly contributes to the welfare of Bristol Bay communities. For example, 1) USF&W approached BBESL to monitor water quality on the Kanektok River; 2) Bristol Bay Allied Health Corporation, is working with BBESL to analyze bacteria in water samples from remote villages; 3) UAF BBC assists Bristol Bay Native Association with studies of flow rate and water quality in the Nushagak-Mulchatna watershed. Public contacts UAF BBC with interest in Environmental Studies Certificate and brings science questions to faculty and staff. For example, when confronted with problems with local wastewater treatment facility, the Wastewater Manager brought over samples to try and determine the composition of microorganisms in each lagoon. BBESL is becoming a community leader on water issues. UAF BBC has strengthened human capital within the institution also. For example, UAF BBC Vocational Coordinator has designed and fabricated sampling equipment for research projects. Two important devices included a floating raft and a sea-floor instrument mount built to hold the ADCP.

Progress 09/01/07 to 08/31/08
Outputs
UAF-BBC has made significant progress on the three objectives of this CSREES grant: 1) develop collaborative research projects 2) increase student research and internship opportunities and 3) explore projects related to environmental health. Accomplishments include assessment of tidal energy in Nushagak Bay, continuation of water quality measurements, increased research and internships, and development of alternative energies. This grant allowed for the purchase of adequate resources such as sampling equipment, cameras, and provided students and interns with the tools and travel necessary to succeed in their individual projects. The staff and faculty adapted to local needs and worked with diverse student populations. Students gained scientific knowledge and skills and presented their research at scientific conferences. Collaborative projects were developed. UAF-BBC and the Geophysical Institute demonstrated that a pin bone removal devise could add value to fish products. Tidal energy production to increase the affordability of ice for chilling fish for local cannery and water quality monitoring occurred. Sampling by summer interns established a baseline record of water quality within Nushagak Bay and the surrounding watershed. Undergraduate student headcount increased by over 29% from 532 in fall 2006 to 688 in fall 2007. The number of science courses offered increased by 20% from 2006 to 2008. Science courses and degree programs were promoted to high school age students in local school districts and short, 1-credit intensive courses were offered based on local needs. Eight student interns were supported during the summer 2008 field season, including an exchange student from the forestry program at our sister campus, Hilo Community College, Hilo Hawaii. All interns completed independent research projects and each student presented or will present at scientific conferences. The campus made headway in exploring various alternative energy resources, including a solar energy array in the final stages of development. Results are promising for tidal energy to power ice barges to add value to salmon catches. Finally, our greatest success was developing and hosting a regional science conference: Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference (WAISC). Representatives from local, state, federal, and tribal agencies as well as educational institutions, industry and consultants working in Western Alaska were brought together for three days of informative talks. Sessions ranged from mining to fishing to science education and traditional ecological knowledge. The conference was attended by local students and community members; the atmosphere was open and positive, with everyone actively participating in science discussions relevant in Bristol Bay region. PRODUCTS: This grant funded eight student interns during summer of 2008 (Paul Askoak, Jennifer Bennis, Wilson Berlin, Jonathan Blanco, Sarah Evans, Sidney Nelson, Danielle Stickman, and Erin Walsh); four worked with US Fish and Wildlife Service, three with Bristol Bay Environmental Science Lab and one with Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference (WAISC) was held April 4-6, 2008 and was a USDA funded conference that promoted science, innovation, and education in western Alaska. WAISC was western Alaska's first regional science conference and attracted participants from UAF, UAA, Alaska Energy Authority, Bristol Bay Native Association, City of Dillingham, and Bristol Bay Economic Development Corporation to name a few. The grant purchased a Workhorse Sentinel 600 Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler with pressure sensor that measures currents in Bristol Bay to identify sites to employ tidal energy for alternative energy studies and economic development. Sea Spider mount and pop-up buoy was obtained as a mounting platform and buoy locator for instruments used in data collection for student intern research projects. Promotional brochures and posters were developed for recruitment, advising and general information regarding USDA science-related activities and programs. To enhance undergraduate diversity and broaden the campus' pool of students, the campus purchased software for video and audio production and editing. BBC is gathering footage to create and edit videos for academic and educational needs. An on-site visit to Hawaii Community College established an informal partnership that resulted in one exchange student for our summer 2008 internship program. OUTCOMES: UAF Geophysical Institute and local business, Dancing Salmon, demostrated a pin-bone removing machine to the area to add value to fish products. WAISC conference engaged two start-up catering businesses and the Dillingham High School business class to provide food services. Local owners of the vessel F/V Jazz started a small business by outfitting their fishing boat as a research vessel. The Jazz was used on 4 research trips during 2007 and 10 during 2008. Water quality on Squaw Creek continued during summer. Nushagak Bay is where sediments are being mapped and analyzed for grain size and porosity, and organisms are collected for food web studies using bomb calorimetry analysis. The Environmental Science Advisory Council was established to develop curriculum, to build linkages between campus and other agencies, and in general give advice on local research projects. Membership includes individuals from federal, state and local agencies. A cooperative agreement was established for eXtension content with UAF Cooperative Extension Teams to teach biology and soil courses and UAF Cooperative Extension is working with UAF-BBC to develop an alternative energy resource center. Fall 2007 enrollment increased fall 2006 enrollment by 132 students. Science courses offered at UAF-BBC have increased from two in 2004 to nine in 2008. Intern research presentations included: Erin Walsh presenting "Squaw Creek Fish Camera and Water Quality Project" at Alaska Department of Fish and Game on July 20, 2008 in Anchorage, AK; Sidney Nelson presented "Activities of the Bristol Bay Environmental Science Lab", at the UAF-BBC Environmental Science Advisory Council meeting on August 15, 2008 in Dillingham, AK; Tina Carr presented "The potential of tidal energy for the fishing industry in Nushagak Bay" at ACUNS, October 2007, Saskatoon, SK; Angela Chingliak presented "Can a Gold and Copper Mine Feed a Subsistence Culture" at ACUNS, October 2007, Saskatoon, SK; Daniel Chythlook presented "Water quality of the Nushagak/Mulchatna Watershed in Western Alaska" at ACUNS, October 2007, Saskatoon, SK; and Rodney Etheridge presented "Water quality sampling of Squaw Creek" at ACUNS, October 2007, Saskatoon, SK. UAF-BBC personnel were present at the Dillingham and New Stuyahok Career Fairs to promote the environmental science program and to recruit students into science fields. While at these fairs we distributed printed materials including science brochures and flyers. The design and location for a 24-panel photovoltaic solar array has been finalized. Site has been established and campus is in negotiations with City of Dillingham to begin construction. Purchased and deployed Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and Sea Spider at two locations (Kanakanak Beach and Clarks Point) in Nushagak Bay. Physical oceanographer with UAF brings invaluable expertise in current velocities modeling. The environmental science lab on campus is in the process of receiving microbiology certification from Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Environmental Health. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES: Radio and newspaper coverage regarding the achievements of the campus have been extensive. Two articles have appeared in the local newspaper Bristol Bay Times about tidal project and there was extensive coverage of the Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference (WAISC) locally and statewide. BBC environmental newsletter will be distributed in September and quarterly thereafter. Environmental Science Lab website was developed and went online 29th of August. A informative website for the WAIS conference continues to be maintained. FUTURE INITIATIVES: New and Expanded value-added food products include workshops on potatoes and composting ideas. Additional funding is now available for tidal project because of community need and publicity. Long-term water quality monitoring projects are planned. Partnership developed with Bristol Bay commercial fishermen to explore tidally powered ice-barge. Plans to expand trawling project to other estuaries and bays within Bristol Bay region are in progress. Bristol Bay Environmental Science Laboratory and Renewable Energy Education Center are targeted for expansion of services. An electric car conversion course is planned for October 2008. Environmental science staff will work with UAF BBC new hire Annie Fritze (small enterprise development coordinator) to develop small businesses in the region. Solar electric array will be installed with tracking mounts (mounted on the ground) and will increase the output of the array from 10%-30% depending on the location and the season. These supplies will assist with alternative energy studies.
Impacts
Partnerships developed between state, federal, tribal agencies.US Fish and Wildlife proposed a water quality monitoring project on the Kanektok River in Togiak National Wildlife Refugee. Bristol Bay Allied Health Corporation is working in collaboration with UAF-BBC environmental science lab on analyzing bacteria in water samples in Bristol Bay region. UAF-BBC assists Bristol Bay Native Association with studies of flow rate and water quality in the upper reaches of the Nushagak-Mulchatna watershed. Community members contact UAF-BBC about science related issues. Citizens stop in with questions regarding local species, unusual natural phenomenon, or with general questions about research being conducted around Bristol Bay. Local teachers view the science program as a resource for environmental science, biology, and general science curriculum ideas. We increased student interest in science during visits to high school classrooms. In January 2007 and 2008 UAF-BBC hosted the Alaska Ocean Film Festival, giving tours of our lab and explaining on-going research.
