Avalanches are frequent in Juneau, but only a few have been disastrous.
The Department of Transportation and the local electric utility recently re-installed scientific instruments to help them predict avalanche risk at their largest research site in town atop Mount Roberts.

Finland seeing very positive results from a multi-year experiment using a water-cellulose mix as a binder for gravel roads. Less dust, tougher resistance to water damage/rutting, cheaper to maintain, lower carbon footprint.
Sorateiden kunnossapitoon pompsahtelee innovaatioita aika harvakseen. Suomalaisittain ikävän harvakseen. Siksipä tämä ilahduttaa.

Lapissa levitettiin sellukuitua soratielle – osoittautui halvaksi tavaksi pelastaa huonokuntoisia teitä
Tapojärven ja Destian menetelmässä sellukuidusta valmistettu sidosaine tekee soratiestä kestävämmän pintakelirikolle sekä vähentää sen kunnossapitokustannuksia ja hiilijalanjälkeä.

NOAA’s National Weather Service holds the federal responsibility for tsunami warnings, and has historically been a primary supporter of seismic data collection in Alaska
NOAA cancels longstanding funding for seismic data collection crucial to tsunami warning systems
The Alaska Earthquake Center has long provided NOAA with seismic data for tsunami monitoring and warning purposes. That work will wind down in November, after the federal agency said it can no longer fund the contract.
