Collaborators: Interagency & International Partnerships
Referenced on page A.4-9 in NASA Research Announcement for Terrestrial Ecology: Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment – Phase 3 NNH21ZDA001N-TE
Numerous organizations are engaged in research and monitoring activities within the ABoVE Study Domain. ABoVE Investigators may wish to consider developing synergistic research collaborations with investigations sponsored by these organizations. The person identified as the point of contact for each organization below is prepared to discuss such collaborations and/or assist investigators in contacting the appropriate individual(s) within the organization with whom to engage in such discussions. Investigators contacting these persons should take care to be considerate of their time and respectful of any constraints and/or limitations on their ability to help.
Please be aware that the list below is not intended to be exhaustive or exclusive. Its intent is to identify those organizations with which NASA has established there is mutual interest in future ABoVE collaboration(s) and that are willing to be so identified.
If you are aware of additional programs that have an interest in collaborating with ABoVE and would like to be included on this list, please have them contact Peter Griffith.
The NASA Terrestrial Ecology Program is an active participant in the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC). NASA Program Managers and Scientists, appropriate staff from the Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Office, and members of the ABoVE Science Team have all been active in several different IARPC Collaborations Teams, such as Terrestrial Ecosystems, Arctic Observing Systems, and Permafrost. Collaboration teams are open to the public through the IARPC Collaborations Portal.

The Northern Latitudes Partnerships include three regional partnerships in Alaska and western Canada. NLP works to help communities be culturally, environmentally, and economically secure in a rapidly changing North and envision a future where northern lands, waters, and ways of life are sustained for generations.
The Northwest Boreal Partnership is a collaboration of diverse individuals and organizations supporting healthy lands and communities across Alaska and northwestern Canada.
