I got one of these calls a few months ago, and some did my colleague. Don't fall for the trap!

Our friends at USGS landslide group have some preliminary results about landslides and rock/ice avalanche that occurred from the M7.0 Hubbard Glacier earthquake on Dec. 6. I remember some people asking about landslides caused by this earthquake. Here you go: www.usgs.gov/programs/lan.... 🪨⚒️🧪

This is such an active aftershock sequence. We are going to be busy with this one for a while. We have had more than a dozen M4+ events since this story was posted a few hours ago. We havent even really looked at events that are less than M3.5 bc there are too many of the larger events to keep up.

An earthquake "Who-done-it?" 🔎 !!! in our new paper doi.org/10.1785/0120... Where was the 1912 Ms7.2 Alaska earthquake? previously placed within the rupture area of the 2002 Mw7.9 Denali earthquake...

We have reviewed a magnitude 4.9 event that occurred at 06:38 AM AK time. This event was located 11 miles NNE of Tyonek and 39 miles deep. This event was reported felt throughout Southcentral Alaska. For more information, please visit https://earthquake.alaska.edu/event/ak2025wzudcl

You're never gonna believe this, but we're out of archaeologists again. We have matched ~650 groups with archaeologists this semester! I am so grateful to the 196 Archaeologist volunteers! We have 60 unmatched groups rn Know archaeologists who could do a session? Send them to SkypeAScientist.com

NOAA’s National Weather Service holds the federal responsibility for tsunami warnings, and has historically been a primary supporter of seismic data collection in Alaska

More than 2,000 people filled out "Did You Feel It" reports for this morning's magnitude 5.4 earthquake on the Kenai Peninsula. Get the details in this story our amazing Earthquake Center team pulled together for you today! https://earthquake.alaska.edu/mid-morning-quake-between-seward-and-homer

The remnants of Typhoon Halong spared Quinhagak much of the home damage seen in other villages. But the storm caused massive beach erosion and upended the Nunalleq site, the world’s largest trove of pre-contact Yup’ik cultural treasures. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

On the ground reporting from Quinhagak. Not as catastrophic like further north, but still severe impacts from #halong, including 60 ft of Beach loss and the destruction of an extensive archeological dig. #alaska #flooding #erosion www.kyuk.org/public-safet...

@shanahstone.bsky.social you still looking for Dillingham pics?

I’m still looking for No Kings photos from Dillingham, Haines, Kotz, Port Alexander, Sitka, Valdez, Wrangell, or anywhere else in Alaska there was a protest. I know there’s more out there!

Alaska communities rallying today for the nationwide No Kings protest - Gustavus, Dillingham, Soldotna, Fairbanks, Juneau, Wasilla, Kotz, Valdez, Anchorage and who else!? Send us your photos! Tag community + photographer name - [email protected] www.marchagainst.org/whenwhere

'We’re in God’s hands now': A dispatch from Western Alaska “We don’t know where we’re going, or where we’re going to live. Or if we’ll ever go back home,” said John ... He added: “We’re all in God’s hands. We’re not in control any more.” www.northernjournal.com/were-in-gods...

Folks have been focused on the developing disaster in southwest Alaska, but America's farthest-west community is suffering, too: Adak has been without power for two weeks because of problems with the local generator. www.kucb.org/regional/202...

Spreading the word on the "Typhoon Dogs" being rescued from Kipnuk, Alaska where the entire flooded village had to evac and could not take their dogs.This thread covers the news and includes donate links for those getting the dogs out via small aircraft. (No roads!) bsky.app/profile/chas...

May 1982, Kipnuk in better times, now devastated by Typhoon Halong. If you can, consider donating Alaska Community Fund, helping those impacted in Western Alaska (alaskacf.fcsuite.com...).

Read this, and understand that prison is evil, and must be abolished, but also there are some things no one can take away.

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary. This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5kz...

From AKPM: Hundreds are still sheltering - now Day 4 - since Typhoon Halong - in ill-equipped local schools. Emergency supplies are being shipped in, as evacuations are taking place, but the coordination takes time. “We know that folks are miserable.” www.kyuk.org/alaska-state...

This is the Western Alaska animal nonprofit working to rescue the pets in Kipnuk. The residents of Kipnuk are under a mandatory evac order but can not bring their pets with them. Supporting this group will help with charter aircraft, etc. www.bethelfriendsofcanines.com

Some of Alaska's first climate refugees - wishing an outpouring of community support and love for the 1000+ displaced by Halong, may they get the resources to return home 💚

There needs to be more coverage of this in the news. I have read so many stories bout this on Facebook, first hand stories of the terror of that storm, and very little coverage n media. www.facebook.com/100000960660...
