The Division of Fire and Life Safety reminds residents to “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety”

By Division of Fire and Life Safety on Oct 3, 2021   Featured, Health, State  

The Division of Fire and Life Safety reminds residents to “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety”

In Alaska, fire is a serious public safety concern with our cold and dark winters. As such, Governor Mike Dunleavy issued a proclamation to recognize October 2021 as Fire Prevention Month. National Fire Prevention Week is October 3 through 9.   The goal of this year’s campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety.” Is to educate everyone […]

IEA Warns CO2 Emissions Set to Climb to ‘All-Time High’ as Rich Nations Skimp on Clean Energy

IEA Warns CO2 Emissions Set to Climb to ‘All-Time High’ as Rich Nations Skimp on Clean Energy

The Paris-based agency slammed rich governments for promising to “build back better” but refusing to “put their money where their mouth is.” The International Energy Agency warned Tuesday that global carbon dioxide emissions are on track to soar to record levels in 2023—and continue rising thereafter—as governments fail to make adequate investments in green energy and […]

Keeping the Carbon in Alaska Forests

By Ned Rozell | Geophysical Institute on Jan 31, 2020   Featured, Science/Education, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Keeping the Carbon in Alaska Forests

  A scientist has an idea for reducing global carbon-dioxide emissions — fight Alaska forest fires more aggressively. Carly Phillips, an ecologist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, thinks there is a unique Alaska opportunity to keep carbon in the soil, and in tissues of living trees and other plants. “Alaska stores nearly one half […]

Icelandic Glaciologist Feels a Weighty Responsibility

Icelandic Glaciologist Feels a Weighty Responsibility

   Video: Guðfinna Aðalgeirsdóttir, also known as Tolly, a glaciologist and university professor from Iceland, recommends people watch Swedish high-school student Greta Thunberg’s presentation. Youtube Icelanders will soon install a plaque they hope people will read, long after those who bolted it to a mountain are dead. Near a withering glacier, the sign reads: […]

New Research From Arctic: Thawing Permafrost Peatlands May Add to Atmospheric Co2 Burden

By Carolina Voigt | University of Montreal on Mar 4, 2019   Featured, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

New Research From Arctic: Thawing Permafrost Peatlands May Add to Atmospheric Co2 Burden

  [dropcap]T[/dropcap]emperatures in the Arctic are rising twice as fast as in the rest of the world, causing permafrost soils to thaw. Permafrost peatlands are biogeochemical hot spots in the Arctic as they store vast amounts of carbon. Permafrost thaw could release part of these long-term immobile carbon stocks as the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) […]

Ocean Acidification Could Affect Pacific Cod Development

By Alaska Fisheries Science Center on Feb 25, 2019   At Sea, Featured, Science/Education  

Ocean Acidification Could Affect Pacific Cod Development

Image of Pacific cod larvae photographed under a microscope. Scientists released results of a study showing that larval Pacific cod response to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels varies depending on its stage of development. In laboratory experiments, NOAA Fisheries scientists and partners specifically examined larval cod behavior, growth, and lipid composition (the fats needed for […]

Salmon May Lose the Ability to Smell Danger as Carbon Emissions Rise

By Michelle Ma | University of Washington on Dec 19, 2018   At Sea, Featured, Science/Education  

Salmon May Lose the Ability to Smell Danger as Carbon Emissions Rise

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he ability to smell is critical for salmon. They depend on scent to avoid predators, sniff out prey and find their way home at the end of their lives when they return to the streams where they hatched to spawn and die. New research from the University of Washington and NOAA Fisheries’ Northwest Fisheries Science […]

New Battery Gobbles up Carbon Dioxide

By David L Chandler MIT News Office on Sep 21, 2018   Featured, Science/Education  

New Battery Gobbles up Carbon Dioxide

A new type of battery developed by researchers at MIT could be made partly from carbon dioxide captured from power plants. Rather than attempting to convert carbon dioxide to specialized chemicals using metal catalysts, which is currently highly challenging, this battery could continuously convert carbon dioxide into a solid mineral carbonate as it discharges. While […]

NASA Pinpoints Cause of Earth’s Recent Record Carbon Dioxide Spike

By Alan Buis | JPL/NASA, Dwayne Brown | NASA on Oct 15, 2017   Featured, Science/Education  

NASA Pinpoints Cause of Earth’s Recent Record Carbon Dioxide Spike

A new NASA study provides space-based evidence that Earth’s tropical regions were the cause of the largest annual increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration seen in at least 2,000 years. Scientists suspected the 2015-16 El Nino — one of the largest on record — was responsible, but exactly how has been a subject of ongoing […]
