SUMMARY:VAWS - Monitoring and Communicating Glacier Outburst Flood Hazards from Mendenhall Glacier
DESCRIPTION:PDF Presentation Slides\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Eran Hood\, Professor of Environmental Science\, University of Alaska Southeast \n\n\n\nAbout the webinar: Suicide Basin\, an ice-marginal lake along Mendenhall Glacier\, has released outburst floods every year since 2011. In recent years (2023-2025)\, the outburst floods have increased in volume and caused extensive flooding and damage in the Mendenhall Valley\, the largest residential neighborhood in Juneau. This talk will discuss the dynamics of the glacier outburst flood\, including how it is evolving over time\, and how flood hazards are communicated to Juneau residents. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio: Eran Hood is a Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Alaska Southeast and is part of a team of university and agency scientists who have studied the outburst floods at Mendenhall Glacier since 2011.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the AOOS Ocean Data Explorer
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Taylor Borgfeldt (Alaska Water Level Watch Coordinator) and Sheyna Wisdom (Executive Director) with the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) \n\n\n\nExplore Alaska’s coastal and ocean environment like never before with the Ocean Data Explorer\, a powerful online data portal hosted by the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS). This interactive tool brings together observational\, model\, and sensor datasets\, —including real-time oceanographic and atmospheric conditions\, historical records— to help scientists\, managers\, coastal communities\, and the public visualize and analyze physical\, chemical\, and biological information about Alaska’s waters. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you’ll learn how to: 1) Navigate the Ocean Data Explorer interface and data catalog\, 2) Access and visualize real-time and historical datasets\, and 3) Build custom data views to support research\, planning\, and decision-making. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPDF of Presentation Slides

SUMMARY:LEO Network – Helping to Understand Environmental Vulnerability and Change
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mike Brubaker\, Director\, Community Environment and Health\, Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium \n\n\n\nThe Local Environmental Observer (LEO) Network was originally developed as a tele-consultation tool\, to provide referrals on questions related to wildlife\, plant\, weather or community change. It is only in recent years that the platform has been applied to describe broader trends. This presentation will explore how to use LEO Network as a measure of environmental change at the local and regional level. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Mike serves as the Director for the department of Community Environment and Health\, at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. His department includes four program areas: Environmental Health\, Emergency Preparedness\, Contaminated Sites\, and Tribal Capacity. Mike is originally from Juneau but has spent most of his life in Anchorage. He attended St. Lawrence University and graduated with a BS in Biology. Graduate study in Environmental Management followed at University of San Franciso. His career has focused on improving environmental conditions in rural communities. This started as a Peace Corps volunteer in the 1990s\, surveying health infrastructure in Hungary after the collapse of communism. Upon returning to Alaska\, Mike worked on cleanup of contaminated former military sites\, before taking a job as the environmental program coordinator at the Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association. Mike started at ANTHC in 2008 tasked with establishing a statwide environmental training program. His work has involved performing community assessment related to climate change impacts\, establishing the Center for Climate and Health\, and the LEO Network. He hosts the quarterly One Health Group meetings and publishes a monthly E-news entitled The Northern Climate Observer. Mike enjoys getting out into the Chugach Mountains\, all year round. \n\n\n\nPDF of Presentation Slides
