SUMMARY:From Sensors to Safety: How Arctic Observations Are Shaping Coastal Flood Resilience in Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sandy Starkweather\, Executive Director of the US Arctic Observing Network \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCoastal flooding is one of the most urgent threats facing many Alaskan communities. In this ACCAP webinar\, Sandy will walk through the U.S. Arctic Observing Network’s new technical brief on coastal flooding. She will highlight how organizations such as the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys\, the U.S. Geological Survey\, the National Weather Service\, and the Alaska Ocean Observing System\, alongside Indigenous Knowledge holders and community residents\, are turning available data into forecasts\, flood inundation tools\, and post storm recovery resources. Sandy will also discuss the persistent observational gaps that limit early warning lead times and long-term planning\, and the priority actions identified through engagement with coastal flooding experts to help sustain and expand these critical capabilities. This webinar highlights what Alaskans are accomplishing with existing tools and explores the specific investments experts say would make the biggest difference. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Webinar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Sandy Starkweather is the Executive Director of the US Arctic Observing Network\, bringing together her engineering\, Arctic climatology\, and science policy expertise to build stronger collaborations among all those who benefit from sustained Arctic observing. She spent twelve years conducting and supporting field research in Greenland. Sandy has also played a key role in advancing the U.S. Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee’s Arctic Research Plans. Her work centers on building the collaborations needed to make sustained Arctic observing more effective for all who depend on it.

SUMMARY:From Landslide to Tsunami: Tracy Arm and Alaska’s Growing Landslide Threat
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mike West (State Seismologist for Alaska\, Director of the Alaska Earthquake Center\, and UAF Research Professor at the Geophysical Institute)\, other speakers TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEarly on August 10\, 2025\, a mountainside collapsed in Tracy Arm in Southeast Alaska\, generating a tsunami that surged up the opposite side of the fjord to heights higher than the top floor of One World Trade Center. Just 12 hours earlier\, cruise ships had departed from the same area. Boats farther down the fjord experienced smaller waves as the tsunami raced through the region at speeds exceeding 100 mph. While dramatic\, Tracy Arm is not an isolated event. As glaciers retreat and weather and climate patterns continue to change\, coastal landslides are becoming an increasingly important hazard across Alaska. This webinar will explore the Tracy Arm event and place it into the broader context of changing environmental conditions\, evolving coastal landslide risks\, and what they may mean for Alaska communities and visitors. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Webinar

SUMMARY:Winter Rain in Interior Alaska: Local Impacts and Practical Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eleanor Greenbaum\, ACCAP Policy Fellow \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs winter rain becomes more frequent in Alaska’s Interior\, communities must understand the risks associated with these events and remain prepared. This ACCAP webinar will explore takeaways from various entities across several sectors who have been impacted by the hazard\, ranging from infrastructure maintenance to hazard mitigation planning. We’ll discuss key concerns\, highlight the impacts of the December 2021 “Icemageddon” event in the Fairbanks area\, and explore options for direct response and long-term planning for winter rain events. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Webinar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Eleanor Greenbaum is working as a Policy Fellow with ACCAP. In this role\, she has contributed to ACCAP’s work on science communication\, extreme events\, and sustained assessment\, including examining the Alaskan extreme events landscape and creating policy-oriented materials focused on winter rain. Her background is in international climate policy and security\, and she is passionate about translating complex environmental challenges into practical solutions.
