Calls from #endangered #NorthPacificRightWhales were detected in passes of eastern #AleutianIslands & northern #GulfofAlaska. With <50 animals in the eastern population, these findings could inform the revision of their critical habitat. bit.ly/esr_56_277

The Interface of Change project began July 2024 following 2 years of engaging with #GulfOfAlaska communities to develop research relevant to the needs of #Alaskans. Our leadership team met to reflect on our first year of initiating research, holding community meetings, and sparking innovation.

🌱 We are now accepting applications for #SeedFunding for #research & #education projects that expand our Interface of Change project or develop new directions from #GulfOfAlaska community members. 🐟🦪🌿
Deadline: May 30, 2025, 5 pm AKDT.

The only Gulf i recognize is that of Alaska. #GulfOfAlaska

Alaska has significant occurrences of rare earth elements (REEs), titanium, and lithium: 1. **Rare Earth Elements (REEs)**: - REE deposits are present in several locations, including Prince of Wales Island, Mount Prindle, and Windy Fork. Notable sites include Bokan Mountain, which hosts 4.79 million metric tons of REE resources, and other areas like Salmon Bay and Stone Rock Bay[1][5][8]. - The Windy Fork placer deposits in Southwest Alaska contain rare earths along with niobium, titanium, and zirconium[8]. 2. **Titanium**: - Titanium-rich beach sands are being explored along the Gulf of Alaska coast, particularly in the Icy Cape area. These sands contain up to 3% valuable heavy minerals[2]. - Other titanium prospects include the Kemuk deposit in Southwest Alaska and the Crystal Creek site, which is a titanium and gold mine[6]. 3. **Lithium**: - Lithium mineralization has been confirmed at the Coal Creek prospect in the Chulitna Project area, located between Anchorage and Fairbanks. The site shows broad zones of lithium-rich granite with potential for further exploration[3][7]. These findings highlight Alaska's potential as a source of critical minerals essential for modern technologies. #AlaskaMinerals #CriticalMinerals For Rare Earth Elements (REEs): #RareEarthElements #REE #BokanMountain #PrinceOfWalesIsland #MountPrindle #WindyFork #SalmonBay #StoneRockBay For Titanium: #Titanium #IcyCape #GulfOfAlaska #Kemuk #CrystalCreek For Lithium: #Lithium #CoalCreek #ChulitnaProject Additional relevant hashtags: #MiningAlaska #MineralExploration #CriticalMetals #MineralResources #AlaskaResources #MiningIndustry

I snapped this photo off the stern after a relatively rough day as far as summer seas go. Upon bumping the contrast, I noticed something in the sky… do you see it?

Millions of Alaska's seabirds starved to death after intense heat wave Marine heat waves have halved Alaska’s common murre population. A study links these declines to food shortages.

#Landsat9 flew overhead when a strong, katabatic wind blew out of the #Chugach Mountains on Oct. 18, 2024. Dust from the #CopperRiver valley was carried 230 km offshore before ducking under #GulfOfAlaska clouds.
