There was a visitor to the Mt. Shishaldin volcano webcam in the eastern Aleutians about a week ago. 🐻

Looking north from Cleary Summit on the Steese Highway northeast of Fairbanks at 200am AKDT Wednesday. This is solar midnight, as dark as it gets 3 days before solstice. 59F and south wind 8 mph at picture time. Image courtesy Alaska DOT and PF. #akwx #AlaskaSky @climatologist49.bsky.social

Just a regular reminder: the ArcticDEM is one of the most beautiful spatial datasets out there. I've been working on a large tile set for our #arctic abrupt thaw mapping activities recently and I can't help but stop and take a peek as the data rolls in.

In case you missed my AGU poster yesterday!

Variability in ground motion from rapid ice-wedge degradation appears to produce a closure signature in spaceborne InSAR data

Red and green bands of aurora borealis against silhouettes of broadleaf trees.

It took moving away from Alaska to see brilliant reds like this — Ithaca NY

The globular springtails seemed to enjoy the rainy Ithaca days (I FINALLY found the macro lense I got for my phone)

The annual NOAA Arctic Report Card is available today for 2023. It discusses recent changes in the Arctic, extreme events, and broader human/environmental impacts. 🧪⚒️

I’m glad I’m not crazy — I thought I could smell smoke this morning! It just seems wrong for November

I haven’t touched Google earth in so long but the UAVSAR kmzs are actually a super easy and neat way of viewing interferograms on top of topography!
