UICK OOKS Q L UM Sets Record for Research Awards Received The research enterprise at UM received nearly $83 million in research awards during fiscal year 2015 – an all-time record for the institution. The total of $82,964,694 surpassed the previous awards record of $71 million set in 2009. “Here at UM we have faculty with renowned national and international reputations,” says Scott Whittenburg, UM vice president for research and creative scholarship. “This new record shows how much our external sponsors value the contributions made by our research community.” UM research expenditures were up 11 percent, vaulting from $58.3 million in fiscal year 2014 to $64.6 million in 2015. Interestingly, the number of proposals researchers submitted in 2015 was down eight from the 637 submitted in 2014. “This means we had a greater success in percentage of proposals being funded, combined with larger awards,” Whittenburg says. “Current indicators suggest our positive growth with continue.” In fiscal year 2015, UM had eight faculty with at least $1 million in research expenditures. The top five earners were: •Reed Humphrey, College of Health Professions and Biomedical Sciences, $4.4 million. •Ragan Callaway, Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, $2.9 million. •Stephen Sprang, Center for Biomedical Structure and Dynamics, $2.5 million. •Andrij Holian, Center for Environmental Health Sciences, $2.3 million. •Donald Loranger, Defense Critical Language and Culture Program, $2.3 million. Geography Students Help Preserve Nepalese Tigers UM geography students are saving tigers – one map at a time. The UM geography department gave 12 student cartographers the chance to collaborate with Panthera, the world’s premier big cat conservation organization. The students worked eight months to create a set of 14 topographic maps of Parsa Wildlife Reserve in Nepal. The maps they produced are the highest-resolution maps ever created of the park and will help define and secure vital ground for the tigers. In 2014, Panthera and its partners implemented the Tigers Forever strategy in the reserve to identify and protect tiger habitat. Tigers Forever program field staff will use the UM-produced maps during anti-poaching patrols. UM lecturer Kevin McManigal, the cartographic manager on the project, says the rangers need highly accurate, well- designed, field-ready topographic maps to conduct their patrols. “These maps have the potential to literally change the family tree for these tigers,” says McManigal. “The students are very proud, and they should be.” Panthera presented the project to the UM students by as a test case. The UM team, comprising both undergraduate and graduate students, secured 1-meter satellite imagery and began digitizing the features in the park. They contracted Airbus in France to generate Vision 2016 3 a custom, 10-meter digital elevation model from Synthetic Aperture Radar data. “They flew their satellite over the park for us,” McManigal says. Then the UM team spent many hours in the lab creating the maps from the data points. The Panthera managers were pleased with the outcome and presented the maps to Nepal’s environment minister. McManigal says the UM students will continue working on projects with Panthera.PDF Image | Carbon Vision 2016
