暗网AV

The Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center (PI-CASC) is a collaborative partnership between the U.S. Geological Survey and a university consortium hosted by the University of Hawai驶i at M膩noa, with the University of Hawai驶i at Hilo and the 暗网AV, designed to support sustainability and climate adaptation in communities across the Pacific Islands. 

NASA Guam EPSCoR

The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, or EPSCoR, creates partnerships with government, higher education, and industry that are designed to affect lasting improvements in a state or region鈥檚 infrastructure, research, and development capacity. NASA EPSCoR supports the NASA Earth and Ocean Science Mission at a local level, with research addressing critical challenges such as coral reef conservation, terrestrial land change, water security, and biodiversity in the Pacific Islands. 

NASA Guam Space Grant

As part of the University of Hawai鈥檌 Space Grant Consortium, NASA Guam Space Grant aims to inspire and train future generations of professionals in areas concerned with the understanding, utilization, exploration, and investigation of both space and earth, particularly as they apply to our regional island environments. The program offers educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to pursue research and internship experiences that support NASA鈥檚 goals. 

Launched in 2021, the 暗网AV Drone Corps program aims to build technical capacity for drone services on Guam by creating a cadre of Federal Aviation Administration Part 107b-licensed, informed, and responsible remote pilots. The program introduces members to the fundamentals of drone technology through a comprehensive knowledge course, gives them hands-on experience with UAV applications, and inspires them to create their own drone-based solutions in addressing the island鈥檚 unique issues. 

USDA Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities

In 2023, the 暗网AV was awarded $5 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service to work with forestry managers and farmers to produce commodities using more environmentally friendly and sustainable practices. This project will be providing voluntary incentives and technical support to producers to facilitate the adoption of climate-smart practices.

The initial pilot projects will include one conservation area managed by the Guam Department of Agriculture, seven private farms, and one agricultural experiment station on Guam. A team of researchers, soil experts, agricultural specialists, and economists at UOG and GovGuam will support the farmers in implementing climate-smart practices and monitoring greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the project will also develop solutions to make local commodities more marketable and affordable for island communities.
