Relationships are at the heart of actionable science which is exactly what the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center’s Ambassadors Program is built to foster.
Now in its second year, the program provides $20,000 seed grants to University of Alaska faculty to do the foundational work that makes meaningful climate adaptation research possible. The researchers selected to do this are building trust with community and agency partners, collecting preliminary data and bridging the gap between science and practical questions.
Planning for the future in the complex landscape of Southeast Alaska is a challenging task.
The AK CASC Annual Report 2020 highlights developments over the last year while also diving deeper into the work of our scientists and staff.
Check out the first video in a short series on glacial outburst flooding at Suicide Basin, in Juneau.
The AK CASC has been working with partners to monitoring the basin for several years to better understand and predict flooding events.
Recently published research uses downscaled climate data to better understand past changes in lightning activity, and forecast what the future may hold.
AK CASC scientists Jeremy Littell and Stephanie McAfee are authors on a recent publication titled, “So Goes the Snow: Alaska Snowpack Changes and Impacts on Pacific Salmon in a Warming Climate,” in conjunction with the National Park Service.
