The remnant of Typhoon Halong slammed the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, an area in Western Alaska hundreds of miles from the U.S. road system. More than a thousand people are displaced. n.pr/48TiQ6f

Most of rural Alaska is Alaska Native. Bonus donating to support Alaska Native people on Indigenous Peoples Day.
Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

🛰️ Hear from Dr. Sue Natali about the new ways researchers are tracking permafrost thaw and how Alaska Native communities and Permafrost Pathways are using this information to inform climate adaptation planning.
Scientists can see Earth’s permafrost thawing from space
New ways to measure thawing permafrost could help us understand its potential impacts on infrastructure, military outposts, and communities.

This study uses data from almost 200 studies going back to the 1970s, with data from almost 2000 unique sites. Knowing what it takes to collect this data and publish these individual studies, it is humbling to be able to use their findings in a joint analysis – standing on the shoulder of giants.

Our modelling of future methane emissions account for both climate warming (through a space-for-time framework) and permafrost thaw (through landscape transitions caused by thaw), and we find that these effects have important interactions – although the direct effect of warming dominates.

“We have no need for air-conditioning, and so we don’t have filtration in the homes for smoke.”
Project Lead Sue Natali and Sr. Arctic Lead Edward Alexander spoke to the New York Times about how the presence of smoke in northern communities is a growing cause for concern. #Canada #Arctic
