SUMMARY:April 2024 NWS Alaska Climate Outlook Briefing
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rick Thoman (Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy). \n\n\n\nWe will review recent and current climate conditions around Alaska\, discuss forecasting tools\, and finish up with the Climate Prediction Center’s forecast for May 2024 and the early summer season. Join the gathering online to learn what’s happened and what may be in store with Alaska’s seasonal climate. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload

SUMMARY:Tools for monitoring Alaskan river ice break-up from the ground\, air and space
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Crane Johnson (National Weather Service\, Alaska-Pacific River Forecast Center) and Mohamed Abdelkader (Stevens Institute of Technology). \n\n\n\nSpring break-up season is upon us! Join us for an action packed session to help get ready for the break-up season on Alaska’s rivers. The session will cover tools from the Alaska River Watch Program to monitor break up\, including community observations and aerial campaigns. It will also feature a new web-based tool built by Stevens Institute of Technology to model and map river ice concentrations using multiple satellites and photos submitted by the public through the UAF Fresh Eyes on Ice program. Find out more on how to access the river ice information from these programs and learn how you can be involved in observing break up to help community safety and climate change research. \n\n\n\nThis event will be held in-person on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus in Akasofu Building\, rm 401. If you would prefer to join virtually\, please register at the link below. You do not need to register if you plan to attend in person.

SUMMARY:The 2023 Mendenhall Glacial Lake Outburst Flood and a look at other Alaskan glacial dammed lakes
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Aaron Jacobs (National Weather Service) and Crane Johnson (Alaska Pacific River Forecast Center). \n\n\n\nJoin us for this month’s VAWS webinar to learn about glacial dammed lakes in Alaska and how they present a unique hazard to downstream communities due to the uncertainty and transient nature of lakes filling and catastrophically releasing. A glacial lake outburst flood in 2023 resulted in record water levels on the Mendenhall River with both major flooding and significant erosion. An overview of the area\, monitoring efforts\, understanding of these events will be presented along with plans for future monitoring and reporting. Glacier dammed lakes are not unique to the Juneau area\, there are many more glacial dammed lakes across the state with some documented well and others very poorly understood. We will present a brief look at a few of the lakes monitoring and the potential downstream impacts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload

SUMMARY:Alaska Spring River Breakup
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Celine van Breukelen (Alaska-Pacific River Forecast Center) and Rick Thoman (Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy). \n\n\n\nThere’s a deep snowpack across Alaska as spring melt approaches. Celine van Breukelen with the NWS Alaska-Pacific River Forecast Center (APRFC) will review break-up basics and provide an overview of current conditions. ACCAP Alaska Climate Specialist Rick Thoman will discuss the latest subseasonal outlooks that help inform the APRFC’s official break-up outlook. \n\n\n\nBreakup Overview PDFDownload\n\n\n\nClimate Review PDFDownload

SUMMARY:Green-up in the Alaska Boreal Forest
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Rick Thoman (Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy) and Jan Dawe (OneTree). \n\n\n\nGreen-up\, that time when leaves burst forth from Alaska’s deciduous trees\, has important implications for the seasonal ecology\, society and even meteorology in the state. The unique multi-decadal record of green-up dates in Fairbanks has been used to develop a technique for forecasting green-up and related events in the Interior and more broadly in the boreal forest regions in Alaska. This webinar will be the fifth annual review of the green-up forecasting tools and will provide a look-ahead for green-up for Spring 2024. One Tree will demonstrate citizen science-outreach tools for birch tappers and others. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload
