Climate Change and Potential Impacts on Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon Populations
This webinar will describe a conceptual model that is used to synthesize results from over 150 peer-reviewed journal articles to describe current trends in salmon populations, responses to climate change, predicted responses to climate change, and research needs in Alaska.

There are two areas of emphasis: (1) the timing of emergence of aquatic invertebrates in ponds across the entire Copper River Delta; and (2) variation in thermal regimes among streams and the associated salmon populations on the Delta.

Okay, this is kind of stunning: November 17 at Wales (image courtesy FAA) at the western tip of the Seward Peninsula on the shore of Bering Strait, and there is no snow on the ground. Not even a little. Same farther east on the SP coast & St. Lawrence Is. #akwx @Climatologist49
The northern Chukchi Sea is finally starting to freeze, but #seaice extent from @NSIDC remains by far the lowest of record this late in the season. Ice also forming near land on the Alaska side of Bering Sea but extent is half of average. #akwx #Arctic @Climatologist49 @seaice_de
Yes, Anchorage is FINALLY getting snow today. Let's not forget though that we also set a record high temperature today and if the day ended right now, the daily average temp would be 16.5°F above normal. #akwx
Today, Anchorage is seeing their first snow of the season (0.2" sleet fell a few weeks ago). Today also saw a record high temperature (45°F). Am curious if the first snow of the season has ever occurred on a day with a record high temperature. 🤔 #akwx
The Alaska statewide daily temperature index distills temperature departures from around Alaska down to a single number between -10 and +10, with zero being normal. Thus far in 2019, 90 percent (!) of days were warmer than normal. This is not fine. #akwx #Arctic @Climatologist49
The first half of November brought more at or near record warmth to southern Alaska. Also along the North Slope coast thanks to no/low sea ice. Some low elevation areas in western Alaska still have bare ground and record low snow in Anchorage. #akwx @Climatologist49 @IARC_Alaska
"Congrats" #Anchorage-ites, you just lived through the warmest first half of November on record. The average temperature from Nov. 1-15 was 37.3°F, with the previous record warm (since 1952) first half of the month in 1979 (average temp of 37.0°F). #akwx @AlaskaWx
"Congrats" #Chicago-ans, you just lived through the coldest first half of November in the past 148 years! The average temperature from Nov. 1-15 was 31.2°, with the previous record cold (since 1871) first half of the month in 1991 (average temp of 31.4°). #ilwx
Anchorage can't buy snow, but in the upper Tanana valley, Tok is racking it up. Through Nov 14, 35.3" of snow. This is the 2nd highest snowfall to date. Only 1988 had more, with 37". Even more notable because Tok averages less than 40" snow per winter. #akwx @Climatologist49
Map showing how much more snow places in the Lower 48 have received compared to Anchorage, Alaska's, 0.2" through November 14th. #akwx @AlaskaWx
On Thursday #seaice extent in Beaufort Sea was just over 96% of the basin (@NSIDC data). This ties 2019 for 2nd latest ice-over date past 41 years. Trend is remarkable: average ice-over date is now a month later than in the early 1980s. #akwx #Arctic @Climatologist49 @seaice_de
