Comment: I think that it's likely that this program meets our general notability guideline, but that's not reflected in the current sourcing. Of the sources, only one is sufficiently independent of the subject to count towards notability (the Smithsonian article). That is a very good source - A few more sources like that that show independent, significant coverage and this article can likely be approved! The most important thing will be finding sources that are about the program itself and not just passing mentions. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 20:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

The Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) is a undergraduate research program that focuses on the study of the Juneau Icefield, a collection of glaciers near Juneau, Alaska. It is the longest running icefield research program in North America.[1] Students start in Juneau and traverse the icefield in 8 weeks, ending in Atlin, British Columbia.[2]
History
[edit]The Juneau Icefield Research Program was founded in the 1940s by Maynard Miller, a glaciologist who was on a surveying expedition of the icefield led by William B. Osgood Field Jr. It was led by Miller until his death in 2014.[3][4]
Research
[edit]JIRP has collected & analyzed the surface mass-balance of the Juneau Icefield since 1946, primarily focusing on the Lemon Creek Glacier and Taku Glacier.[1] Students on the program conduct research guided by faculty members and also have an academic program consisting of lectures, workshops, and readings.[2] Although primarily an undergraduate research program, it is open to graduate students and high school students.[2]
