Nanook Blood Flight
Nanook Blood Flight: UAF Drone Cargo/Medical Delivery Operation, This blood drive simulates long-distance drone delivery of critical cargo like blood samples and medical supplies between communities. Samples will be collected at the Patty Center lobby Tuesday, Aug. 18, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. packaged for delivery, driven to Nenana and flown 1,000 km in a large drone. This event is a collaboration between UAF ACUASI, Geophysical Institute, International Testing Agency and Interior Region Emergency Medical Services Council.

Glacial lakes as drivers of ice dynamics: Satellite observations from Patagonia and Antarctica
Guest Lecturer: Shuntaro Hata (National Institute of Polar Research, Japan),
Location: Akasofu 501 and via Zoom - Register for webinar
Glaciers and ice sheets are one of major contributors to ongoing sea level rise as a consequence of warming climate. Since non-negligible amounts of mass loss of glaciers and ice sheets are accounted for by ice discharge, ice dynamics are key to understanding future mass changes. Studies on ocean-terminating tidewater glacier dynamics are relatively well conducted, understanding on lake-terminating glacier dynamics and glacier-lake interaction remain insufficient despite global glacial lakes are expanding. Two topics which are conducted using satellite remote sensing will be shared: dynamics in lake-terminating glaciers in Patagonia affected by rapid lake level lowering, and distribution and discharge of ice-marginal lake over the periphery of Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Tracking drought in Alaska: Developing new indicators and tools
Alaska may be known for its abundant water, but drought can have wide-ranging impacts on communities, ecosystems, wildfire, hydropower, subsistence resources and water supplies. Join the UAF Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Preparedness for a webinar with Charlie Parr of UAF’s Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning and Rick Thoman of the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Preparedness. Parr and Thoman will introduce new drought indicators and tools developed specifically for Alaska and discuss how they can help track changing drought conditions, their strengths and limitations, and how they can support environmental monitoring and decision-making across the state. Participants will also have an opportunity to provide feedback to help improve the tools and ensure they meet the needs of Alaska communities, resource managers and other users. Learn more and register for the webinar.
