Several organizations are asking for donations or contributing fundraiser proceeds to help Alaskans affected by the remnants of Typhoon Halong. Here's how you can help.

Ice cellars – or siqlugaq, in Yup'ik – are underground caches that Indigenous peoples in the Arctic have been using for thousands of years to store food. But as the Arctic warms, the practice is changing.

ARCUS was important. It jumpstarted careers in science. It amplified voices that have too long been left out of research. It did all that and more for very little money, and now it's gone, arguably when we need it most.

High risk for extreme winds and coastal flooding Sunday and Monday for the northern and central Alaska Bering Sea coast from ex-typhoon Halong. There is still uncertainty, but serious impacts are likely somewhere south of the Bering Strait,. #akwx #ExtremeWeather @hanners64n.bsky.social

Sometime around the turn of the 20th century, the sea mink disappeared from Maine's coastal waters. Its loss came during a rush of North American extinctions, but many today have never even heard of it.

End of an era and a sad day for those that care about Arctic work done in the best ways possible. 😢 Nonetheless "… the goal of broadening participation in Arctic-focused research, education, and policy is still an important mission to achieve." #Arctic

Dear eugenicists: There have always been autistic people. There will always be autistic people. Autism is not polio. It is not a disease to be eliminated. The world is so much better and more interesting with the spectrum of neurodiversity than it would be without it.

We're not going anywhere.

Trump cuts to University of Alaska programs for Native students worse than previously announced, reports Corinne Smith for the @alaskabeacon.com

A nonprofit coordinating academic research on the Arctic plans to shut down as its federal funding dries up.

The Arctic Research Consortium of the United States says it plans to wind down operations at the end of this month.

Writing about wildlife in 2025, I don't get to tell a lot of happy stories. But swift foxes could be a big conservation success story, thanks to Indigenous-led reintroductions and some creative habitat choices.

The President’s budget proposes eliminating all federal funding for IOOS regional operations like AOOS.

Congress can still stop this.

The proposed NOAA budget gutting would also eliminate the Climate Adaptation Program (CAP). The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, the org I work for, is the CAP for Alaska and has been working for Alaskans since 2006. #akwx #climate #NOAA
