Rick will recap this winter and look at the most recent climate outlooks for summer on land and sea\, focusing on the Bering Strait region. Hear how rural communities can collect winter snowpack data through volunteer “Snow Courses!” \n\n\n\nRick Thoman is the Alaska Climate Specialist for the UAF Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy. \n\n\n\nCheck out the upcoming Strait Science talks HERE \n\n\n\nFollow and watch past Strait Science presentations via their YouTube Channel URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/strait-science-bering-strait-weather-may2021/ CATEGORIES:ACCAP Climate Webinar,Lecture,Strait Science END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20210427T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20210427T110000 DTSTAMP:20260405T091550 CREATED:20210416T193955Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T220753Z UID:19340-1619517600-1619521200@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:Forecasting sap flow in birch trees and green-up in the boreal forest of Interior Alaska DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jan Dawe\, Research Assistant ProfessorOneTree AlaskaSchool of Natural Resources and Extension&Rick Thoman\, Alaska Climate Specialist\, ACCAP \n\n\n\nThe young tapper is Liam Quirk. His dad is Bill Quirk.Photo credit: Marlo Saenz.\n\n\n\nTwo milestones in the progression of spring in boreal Alaska are the start of sap flow in birch trees and later green-up\, that time when leaves burst forth from deciduous trees. These events have important implications for the seasonal ecology\, society\, and even meteorology in the state. This joint presentation by Rick Thoman with ACCAP and Jan Dawe with the OneTree Alaska (UAF Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station) will highlight ongoing efforts to forecast the timing of these important events and ways this information can be used by Alaskans to plan their spring activities. \n\n\n\nOne Tree Alaska website \n\n\n\nOne Tree Alaska Facebook page \n\n\n\nTapping Into Spring Home Kit InstructionsDownload\n\n\n\nHome Tapping Kit wrap-up PDFDownload\n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/green-up-2021/ CATEGORIES:ACCAP Climate Webinar,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/67745AA1-4DB8-4FAE-A506-EB3D994D3BC6.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20200707T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20200707T110000 DTSTAMP:20260405T091551 CREATED:20200608T205625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T220753Z UID:18325-1594116000-1594119600@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:Alaska's berries and their changing seasons DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. Katie V. Spellman & Dr. Christa P.H. Mulder \n\n\n\nChanges in the timing of the seasons in Alaska influences our wild berry flowering\, pollination\, ripening and fruit dispersal (including by us berry pickers). Dr. Katie Spellman and Dr. Christa Mulder will discuss the ongoing research by the UAF International Arctic Research Center and Institute of Arctic Biology that explores how earlier springs\, warmer summers and wetter falls influence our amazing Alaska berries throughout their life cycles. Learn how public participation in this scientific research is helping improve our knowledge of ways berries are changing across our state. \n\n\n\nFor a copy of the presentation\, please email Tina Buxbaum \n\n\n\nLinks Shared During Presentation \n\n\n\nWinterberryBerry Learning ResourcesLate BloomersMelibeeLEO NetworkKatie’s Google Scholar PageChrista’s Google Scholar Page URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/ak_berries_changes/ CATEGORIES:ACCAP Climate Webinar,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/1-berryresearc.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20200505T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20200505T110000 DTSTAMP:20260405T091551 CREATED:20200416T232247Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T220753Z UID:18059-1588672800-1588676400@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:Viewing historical and future wind information for Alaska DESCRIPTION:Speakers: John Walsh\, ACCAPSarah Pearl\, International Arctic Research Center (IARC) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Student/Dartmouth CollegeKyle Redilla\, International Arctic Research Center (IARC) \n\n\n\nNot presenting but involved in the tool development:Bruce Crevensten\, International Arctic Research Center (IARC) \n\n\n\nWind is a climate variable with major impacts on humans\, ecosystems and infrastructure\, especially in coastal regions with cold climates. Climate-related changes in high-wind events have important implications for high-latitude residents\, yet there has heretofore been no systematic evaluation of such changes in a framework spanning historical and future timeframes. \n\n\n\nACCAP has recently developed a visualization tool that displays wind information for 71 coastal and inland locations around Alaska\, based on hourly station reports and hourly downscaled winds from two climate models. \n\n\n\nWe will introduce the tool by showing average monthly wind speeds\, wind roses\, and frequencies of high-wind events in past and future decades. High-wind events determined are most frequent during winter at coastal locations. High-wind events are projected by both climate models to become less frequent in Southeast Alaska but more frequent in the northern and western Alaska coastal regions\, which are precisely the regions in which the protective sea ice cover is decreasing. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\n\nCommunity Wind Tool URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/viewing-winds/ CATEGORIES:ACCAP Climate Webinar,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Fairbanks-International-Airport-Wind-Frequency-and-Strength-by-Direction-1980-2015.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20191024T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20191024T193000 DTSTAMP:20260405T091551 CREATED:20191018T230737Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T220756Z UID:17545-1571941800-1571945400@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:Strait Science Series: Winter Sea Ice and Climate Outlook DESCRIPTION:Presentation Recording\n\n\n\nPart of the UAF Northwest Campus Strait Science SeriesIn-person at Grand Hall – NWC Education CenterOr join remotely via Zoom meeting information below:https://alaska.zoom.us/j/665398184Meeting ID: 665 398 184Dial by your location +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) Meeting ID: 665 398 184 Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aNdnrwuH URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/strait-science-series-winter-sea-ice-and-climate-outlook/ CATEGORIES:ACCAP Climate Webinar,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SeaIceOutlook-Thoman-Oct-2019.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20190909T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20190909T203000 DTSTAMP:20260405T091551 CREATED:20190909T203838Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T220756Z UID:7549-1568055600-1568061000@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:Climate change: from cutting-edge science to innovative solutions DESCRIPTION:Recording of Event\n\n\nAbout the speaker- Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is a climate scientist who served as a lead author for the National Climate Assessments under the Bush\, Obama\, and Trump administrations.

The majority of acres burn in relatively brief periods of extremely warm and dry weather. Our hypothesis is that there are localized weather characteristic and identifiable large-scale weather patterns conducive to such rapid wildfire growth. The likelihood of these patterns can be the target of forecasts over periods of several days to several weeks in order to inform decision-makers and other potentially affected stakeholders. \n\n\n\nThe Hollings Scholars utilized an existing database of daily wildfire acreage back to at least the 1990s. They identified sub-monthly periods of rapid wildfire growth in both boreal and tundra ecosystems and performed analysis of associated atmospheric conditions and synoptic weather patterns using online and UAF available meteorological reanalysis data. This presentation will present the findings of their work. URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/rapid-growth-wildfire-hollings/ CATEGORIES:ACCAP Climate Webinar,Lecture END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
