A good news story: local experts able to put buoys in locations important to them and get ocean wave info right on their phones. Backyard Buoys in Alaska are supported by @aoos-alaska.bsky.social #akwx #AlaskaSky @hanners64n.bsky.social @markspringer.bsky.social alaskapublic.org/news/alaska-...

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. My latest for Sierra: #science #arctic www.sierraclub.org/sierra/end-e...

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. My latest for Smithsonian: #wildlife #maine #extinction www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...

The Life, Loss and Lore of the Sea Mink
It might be among the first mammals to go extinct in North America after colonization. But can scientists prove it was even a distinct species?

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
A Final Message from the Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS)
After nearly four decades of service to the Arctic research community, the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS) has now reached its sunset. This will be our final message to the community.

On behalf of the ARCUS Board of Directors and all ARCUS staff, we want to thank you for the many years of collaboration, support, and partnership that made ARCUS possible. We have enjoyed working with this community immensely and believe that the goal of broadening participation in Arctic-focused research, education, and policy is still an important mission to achieve.

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.

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. My latest for Sierra Magazine: #SwiftFox #wyoming www.sierraclub.org/sierra/swift...

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 alaskapublic.org/news/alaska-...

Potential NOAA cuts could jeopardize weather reporting that's crucial for boaters and hunters
A program that provides coastal and ocean data to improve mariners' safety would shut down if the federal agency loses over a quarter of its funds.
