Lucas Samuel @ExolithLab RickNotRockets 🌻 Ben Magelsen 🇺🇸 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐲 𝐉𝐫. Bertrand Thibodeau Wow! The neat thing about this concrete recipe is we can make *all* the parts from ordinary rocks: the silica is left over after HCl leaching, the red mud is precipitated from the HCl leach, and there's only a tiny amount (1%) NaOH.

Congrats to @LitioReina of the Alaska EPSCoR Coastal Margins Team and Mary Beth Leigh who has been involved in developing the next Alaska EPSCoR project phase!

In this month's Alaska Trends magazine, there's a really good article about how Alaska's net migration losses are actually even worse than they appear because the state's working-age population is who's moving away: labor.alaska.gov/trends/mar23.p… #akleg

After 2 days of safety and measurements training in Fairbanks, #SnowEx2023 #SnowExAlaska participants split in 2 group - one group stayed in boreal forest; second group drove 360 miles north to Toolik Field Station to get ready for arctic tundra snow measurements INE Research WERC - Water and Environmental Research Center NASA

Ogives are bands of ice that alternate in both height and color and can be seen on a glacier’s surface. They are often shaped into arcs that point towards the bottom of the glacier. nsidc.org/learn/cryosphe… Photo credit: Allen Pope

Fraser Cain Universe Today @storybywill Some good ideas there, but they assume many unsupported ideas, like the requirement for pressure gradients. The existence of underwater ecosystems implies life does not require 1 g gravity. Clouds mean the surface of Mars receives more solar photons on average than Earth. Odd!

NWS is at the Tanana Chiefs Conference Annual Convention this week in Fairbanks. We have met many people from communities across the Interior. This is a great event for us to hear about the current ice conditions and also share information about the upcoming spring breakup. #akwx

Kinda why we love it...

Thanks Kate Hale for making these fun and informative videos!

Road Weather Information Systems help transportation authorities like AKDOT&PF make informed decisions on winter road maintenance. Research @uafengineering by @dr_traffic presents a novel approach for using RWIS as a road safety countermeasure. #cartoonist @907nuggets
