We recently summarized what AAOKH has been up to since its inception in 2015. Check out our 1 page highlights! AAOKH Highlights 2015-2018 (pdf document)
The ice trail mapping in Utqiagvik has begun for Spring 2019. The attached image shows the locations for trails and crew locations as of 16 April 2019 and ice thickness measurements will begin soon.
Billy Adams recently recorded an “ice breakout” event offshore of Utqiagvik. The landfast sea ice in front of town detached with the recent warm temperatures and winds, which is quite unusual for February. This event has big implications for safe travel, hunting, wildlife management, etc. Billy’s photos are below.
AAOKH Research Coordinator Josh Jones is at the 2018 meeting of the American Geophysical Union this week to present information about how we’re supporting northern Alaska coastal communities as they share local observations of change. Stop by his poster tomorrow morning, 14 December, at #782 and see a preview here! Thanks also to our contributors…
We have just launched of a new map-based tour of AAOKH data! Check it out here: http://mapventure.org/#/map/aaokh. It is also posted as a menu option on the AAOKH site. Our goal with this tool is to facilitate the sharing of coastal conditions in combination with observations collected by members of coastal communities in the context…
AAOKH is working with Dr Matt Druckenmiller to map the ice thickness over whaling trails in Utqiagvik, Alaska. The latest map is available in a PDF: Utqiagik-ice-trail-map_30April2018_thicknesses
Listen in on the KBRW radio interview on April 5, 2018 with our Utqiagvik observer Billy Adams, and AAOKH Science Lead, Donna Hauser to hear a little more about the AAOKH project.
