Track and intensity of Typhoon/ex-typhoon Halong in early October. The storm passed over ocean water significantly warmer than normal for virtually its entire track, from southeast of Japan to landfall on the northeast Bering Sea coast. #akwx #weather #Climate #Alaska @climatologist49.bsky.social

Seeing the destruction of the White House makes me emotional because Trump is so visibly flaunting the absence of constraints to his abuse of authority. He’s tearing down parts of the People’s House to construct a massive fascist temple where people will come to pay tribute to him. It’s grotesque.

Nearly 70,000 Alaskans could lose food assistance next month as the federal shutdown drags on — about 1 in 11 residents.

Live from Nome, it's Strait Science! Tuesday 630pm AKDT on Zoom and in-person at UAF Northwest Campus, the climate context of ex-Halong and summer 2025 review in Bering Strait region and Anjali Shah will give an update on ACCAP's Extreme Events library. #akwx #AlaskaSky @hanners64n.bsky.social

No kings Fairbanks. 33F, light snow, and folks stretching from Peger to Wilbur.

Accepted 3(!!) book awards for #AlaskaNativeResilience Voices from World War II published by @uwapress.uw.edu at the Western History Association conference in Albuquerque!! Quyaana for reading, enjoying, learning from, and supporting this book with voices from Alaska Native elders

Protesters stand and turn their backs to US Sen. Dan Sullivan during his address to the Alaska Federation of Natives conference. Signs read: "Medicaid Matters" + "Public radio saves lives" Sullivan does not acknowledge or stop speaking

Important ideas on different perspectives during extreme events. #akwx “Forecasters…staring at satellite loops…People in their homes are staring out the window, watching…the water rise.

Residents of Kipnuk being evacuated to Anchorage by the Alaska National Guard military plane yesterday after Typhoon Halong

The Head Felon in Charge and his Republican puppets in Congress don't want the duly elected Adelita Grijalva sworn in because she'd be the final vote needed on the discharge petition for the bill to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles That's my great @repstansbury.bsky.social in the video. I'm proud of her!

Devastated by the flooding in Western Alaska. Grateful for everyone responding—tribal & local leaders, health systems, Guard, Troopers, Coast Guard & volunteers. Please consider giving to support the 1,400 people sheltering and the 49 impacted communities: alaskacf.org/WesternAlaska

I’ve got a short piece up in The Conversation on the catastrophic flooding in Southwest Alaska from ex-typhoon Halong and the challenges of recovery work. #akwx #ExtremeWeather #Alaska #AlaskaSky theconversation.com/typhoon-leav...

🌪️ Nor’easters, hurricanes, subtropical storms: what’s the difference between the types of storms that impact the US? How do they form, and how is climate change making them stronger and wetter? Read @marc-alessi.bsky.social's latest blog to find out. #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather

Nothing but pearl clutching from Senator Dan Sullivan from Ohio. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/c...

Was at ground zero for true geography nerds today

There are some nice abraded rock surfaces just down the road at Rib Falls. Not quite on a level with what you see at Grandfather Falls, but still worth a stop. Nice contrast between lithologies. I think it's the metavolcanics that take the best polish.

Unfortunately still no #Arctic sea ice thickness and volume update for the month of September on my website... data issues from the U.S. government shutdown PIOMAS notice: psc.apl.uw.edu/research/pro...

No place to run We are so deep in a climate crisis that has not happened in millions of years and has not yet fully manifested in reality, that no amount of renewable energy will solve it. We need to save all existing forests and wetlands and restore degraded areas and stop economic growth

AK State Board of Education just denied conditional approval of a new UAA MS degree in school psychology. One of the objecting members referenced a draft policy by the national accreting agency which mentions CRT. 1/🔥🧵

More on the lake at Huslia that drained into the Koyukuk River due to high water erosion.

As this administration guts climate science & mitigation efforts in the midst of a climate emergency & opens #Alaska to more extraction - we are all left to suffer the consequences. @rick any data on amount of rainfall lately & potential impacts?

Natural gas (methane) prices in the Permian (Waha) set a new record yesterday when at one point they reached negative $11. We've commented on this dynamic: "As the oil industry is motivated by profit, with no financial incentive to capture methane, such a solution is unlikely to happen. "

Why is Alaska the one-and-only state in the nation that is the subject of an entire Trump executive order released on the very first day of his presidency? I went to Alaska to find out for my latest from Rolling Stone.

A lot of civil cases in federal court are getting put on hold due to the federal shutdown.

This season always puts me in mind of one of the seminal collections of Alaska essays: "The Way Winter Comes" by Sherry Simpson. Published in 1998, it's in part reflections on a world now gone, but truths remain: "In the North, winter is a language with its own regional dialects" #AlaskaSky #Alaska

This isn’t great, sounds like break-in flaring at LNG Canada is becoming routine. And your regular reminder if a flare is yellow the methane isn’t being fully combusted - if so it would be blue. That means VOCs, CO, PM2.5&10, etc. thenarwhal.ca/kitimat-lng-...

Good morning from the Hurricane force system off our SEAK coast. That was a fun overnight shift. 🫡

The barriers to building a career in science keep piling up - they’re certainly not coming down anymore. It’s a brutal time for early-career folks, and I wish I had more constructive advice to offer about entering this field right now.

Alaska Rep Nick Begich III interviewed by KYUK public radio. Obviously out of his depth whenever he is talking with constituents he was hoping this interview with a small public radio station would be lost. Thank you Alaska Beacon. alaskabeacon.com/2025/09/25/a...

29°F and overcast with a light south breeze on Keystone Ridge at 9 am. Although not our first flakiness this season this is our first accumulation, about 1” of wet clumpy snow overnight brightening a moonless night. As if on cue, about 60 tundra swan pass over flying southeast. #myalaskawx

In the absence of Congress, perhaps some help from Governors. This is how we move forward. #DisagreeBetter youtu.be/auBd-birpEA

Why is it that the US & AK want to build a natural gas (methane) pipeline across Alaska? The O&G extraction biz has determined that it is more profitable to dump methane into the atmosphere, or flare it, rather than produce it as fuel. O&G economics is not going to reduce green house gases.1/2

While we’re talking about FCC censorship, rest assured that Alex Jones is still on the air every night on KFAR Fairbanks. I wonder if the KFAR sponsors know that?

When Oregon mapped wildfire risks to properties, some insurance brokers and homeowners blamed the map, without evidence, for policy cancellations and price hikes. Others called it part of a big plan to “depopulate rural areas.”

Since at least the time of Greek philosophers, many writers have discovered a deep, intuitive connection between walking, thinking, and writing.

Ever seen a “volnado” before? Check out this video from USGS of a whirlwind kicking up loose ash deposits along the active fountain and flow within the Halemaʻumaʻu crater of Kilauea! According to USGS, these whirlwinds have been documented during several eruptive episodes downwind of the eruption
