Tracking Green-up in Alaska’s Boreal Forest
Join the UAF Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Preparedness for the annual green-up outlook. Green-up, when leaves burst forth from Alaska’s deciduous trees, has important implications for the seasonal ecology, society and even meteorology in the state. Sap starts flowing in birch trees, leading to tapping and turning the sap into delicious treats. It is rapidly followed by pollen release, which is a health issue for many Alaskans. Fairbanks has a unique multi-decadal record of green-up dates that’s been used to develop a technique for forecasting green-up and related events in the Interior and more broadly in the boreal forest regions in Alaska. This webinar will be the seventh annual review of the green-up forecasting tools and will provide a look-ahead at green-up for Spring 2026. One Tree will demonstrate citizen science-outreach tools for birch tappers and others.
To register, visit the Tracking Green-up in Alaska’s Boreal Forest page on the ACCAP website.

Carved by language: A border, a river, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
Join us in-person at the Rasmuson Library or online for this exciting presentation by Lydia Blanchet.
The Canning River drains the southern slopes of Alaska’s Brooks range, flowing 125 miles north to its mouth in the Arctic Ocean. For 65 of these miles, the western border of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge parallels the river, separating the Refuge to the east from State land and Prudhoe Bay to the west.
In her archival research for the preliminary stages of her English M.A. thesis, Lydia Blanchet uses the lens of river-as-border to explore a range of topics, from the parceling of land in Alaska under ANCSA and ANILCA and the establishment of the Refuge, to the colonial implications of the concept of wilderness and the constructed nature of borders themselves.
Lydia will be presenting her work as a recipient of the Paul H. McCarthy Award.

CFOS Meek Scholar Visit: Libby Liggins
Join Libby Liggins from the University of Auckland, on Thursday, April 23 from 3:40-5 p.m. in the Murie Auditorium for the 2026 Frank and Majorie Meek Seminar: Supporting Local Agency in Global Biodiversity Data Systems.
While the genomics community has long championed open data, the CARE Principles for Indigenous data governance, new Global Access and Benefit Sharing Frameworks, and increasing interest in commercial gain from genomic data and the risk of AI are necessitating a shift toward more nuanced data stewardship. There is a critical need to balance global interoperability and transparency with local agency to ensure equitable benefits and a fit-for-purpose data ecosystem.
The seminar will highlight tools, infrastructures, and forthcoming developments that are working to shift communities of practice toward “accessible-but-controlled,” “global-but-local” and “guidance-to-regulation” with relevance to genomic data and wider biodiversity data infrastructures.
