My co-workers and many, many community/professional partners have put in so much work to create an incredible resource: a landslide warning system in Sitka.
Please check out this cool project, and see the attached article to learn more! #SitkaScience #Alaska
So much hard work has gone into this massive project to develop a landslide warning system in Sitka, Alaska. We could not have done it without all of our partners.
Please check out this article to learn more! If you're interested in the system, see: sitkalandslide.org/

I'm so proud to be part of such a cool organization! (my postdoctoral fellowship home)
Please check out all of the extremely cool programming lined up for the Sitka #Whalefest, happening in November!
Whalefest at the Sitka Sound Science Center is back after two long years! Whalefest is a festival that celebrates marine life through science education, community, & storytelling. #WhalefestWednesday #SitkaScience #SoutheastAlaska
ALT Three logos organized horizontally across the image. The first is the Sitka Whalefest logo, which features an image of a breaching humpback whale. The center logo is that of the Sitka Sound Science Center, which has a minimalistic salmon jumping out of the water and a volcano in the background. The third logo, farthest to the right, is the logo of the University of Alaska Southeast with the words "learn, engage, change" underneath.

There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.
This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵
