SUMMARY:VAWS: Developing High-Resolution Records of Storminess from the Southern Bering Sea
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Reyce Bogardus & Vladimir Alexeev (University of Alaska\, Fairbanks) \n\n\n\nIn the Bering Sea\, rapid climate change may be causing more intense storms\, flooding and erosion. As a modern example\, Typhoon Merbok made landfall in Western Alaska in September 2022\, necessitating disaster declarations at the state and federal level to facilitate repairs in 40 western Alaskan communities. Little is known about how the frequency of intense storms may vary in the region on multidecadal to centennial timescales\, given that storminess composites in the Bering Sea region only extend back approximately 40 years. To better understand how storm scenarios will play out in the future\, a collaborative team of researchers is reconstructing the prehistoric record of extreme events from ancient sediment samples to improve our understanding of how storm intensity and frequency has changed through time. During this webinar\, we will discuss preliminary  findings from samples collected along the Aleutian Islands chain on the R/V Sikuliaq during the summer of 2022. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload

SUMMARY:VAWS: An Overview of the 2023 Alaska Spring Breakup Season
DESCRIPTION:Remote Sensing Tools Used by the NWS Alaska Pacific River Forecast\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Bob Busey\, NWS Alaska Pacific River Forecast Center. \n\n\n\nThe spring break up of 2023 was among the worst of the last thirty years for flooding across the state. The cool April slowed the melting and weakening of the river ice across many of the major rivers in the state. This resulted in a series of ice jams as the break up front moved down the Kuskokwim and Yukon towards the Bering Sea. This talk will be a bit of a summary of the spring as well as a walkthrough of some of the remote sensing products the River Forecast Center uses during the breakup season. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload

SUMMARY:Wildfire and Invasive Plants in Alaska’s Boreal Forest
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Katie Spellman\, Christa Mulder\, and Taylor Seitz (University of Alaska Fairbanks) \n\n\n\nA warmer climate\, increased human disturbance and transport\, increased propagule pressure from growing non-native plant populations\, and increased areas disturbed by wildfire have created a perfect storm of conditions for the spread of non-native plant species into Alaska’s boreal forest. Previous studies have primarily concentrated on short-term relationship (less than 5 years) between wildfires and non-native species\, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of long-term implications. This presentation will highlight the current status of in non-native plant invasions in burned areas of Alaska’s boreal forest region and ongoing research efforts studying long-term trends. We will also provide an overview of what factors influence the vulnerability of boreal forests to non-native plant invasions along with how non-native plants are reaching affected habitat. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload

SUMMARY:A Crash Course on Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR): what it is\, ways to do it\, and context in Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jessica Cross\, NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. \n\n\n\nHuman-induced climate changes already affect every inhabited region across the globe\, with potentially dire consequences for many ecosystems and human communities. Under current emissions trajectories\, global surface temperatures will continue to rise. With further warming of the Earth system\, every region is projected to experience increasingly concurrent climate extremes\, associated with clear impact drivers. Limiting warming to levels that avoid extreme risk requires immediate and substantial reductions of greenhouse emissions\, as well as the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. While emissions-reduction approaches are the primary component for addressing this challenge\, negative emissions strategies will be essential for keeping global temperatures at or below target levels. Many of these techniques are promising in theory\, and have garnered significant attention from venture capital\, private companies\, and large NGOs interested in offsetting their carbon footprints. This in turn has led to the development of new legislation targeted at developing a US strategy for carbon removal. Despite this emerging interest\, all carbon dioxide removal techniques are currently in their infancy and require additional research to evaluate their effectiveness and scalability and explore potential co-benefits and environmental risk\, as outlined by a recent consensus study from the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Mathematics. Here\, we will profile marine carbon dioxide removal techniques that are relevant for Alaska and provide an opportunity for discussion. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\nWebinar Links and Chat DetailsDownload

SUMMARY:VAWS: New NOAA/NESDIS Satellite Products for Wildland Fire Applications
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael Pavolonis\, NESDIS Wildland Fire Program Manager. \n\n\n\nIn an effort to address key capability gaps\, the NOAA National Environmental Satellite\, Data\, and Information Service (NESDIS) has established a Wildland Fire Program focused on impactful service delivery. NESDIS Wildland Fire Program projects\, aimed at addressing critical active fire capability gaps\, are underway\, with product and service demonstrations expected to begin by July 2023. The improved products are generated using the Next Generation Fire System (NGFS)\, which consists of a sensor agnostic (applicable to geostationary or low earth orbit satellites) active fire algorithm and higher order capabilities\, including alerting\, incident situational awareness tools that are highly tolerant of cloud cover\, and an event-based data model that combines time-resolved satellite fire detections with complementary geospatial data layers. Terrain corrected GOES-R ABI imagery and fire detections have also been developed. In addition\, a lightning prediction model\, customized for incident management\, is under development. With Alaska wildland fire applications in mind\, this presentation will introduce the NESDIS Wildland Fire Program\, highlight product development and demonstration activities\, and facilitate continued dialogue with stakeholders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is being sponsored by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium.

SUMMARY:Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning in Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bruce Wright\, Knik Tribe Chief Scientist \n\n\n\nIn Alaska\, paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is caused by toxins (PSTs) produced by the microscopic marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella. PSP is usually associated with consumption of toxin-containing bivalves\, but PSTs can also be present in other biota during Alexandrium blooms\, including species that do not feed on shellfish. The Knik Tribe PSP project began in 2006 with sampling all along coastal Alaska from Ketchikan\, to the end of the Aleutian Islands and in the Bering Sea north to Norton Sound using local samplers in an extensive community-based monitoring program. Here\, we report results from a project investigating occurrence of PSTs in marine species across southern Alaska where Alexandrium blooms and shellfish toxicity occur. We will review some of our recent findings and present our PSP monitoring program plans for the next four years. \n\n\n\nPresentation Slides with recorded soundDownload\n\n\n\n\n\nWould you like to hear the recording while driving to work?
