Fresh Eyes on Ice

It's getting chillier...time to start thinking about freeze-up! 🥳

Clockwise from top L: Copper R @ Tazlina, Innoko R @ Shageluk, Tanana R @ Fairbanks, Kuskokwim R @ Sleetmute

Friday ice cam round-up is back for spring break-up 2023! Here's a snapshot of May 4, 2023 ice conditions on rivers around Alaska 👇 Clockwise from top L: Colville R @ Ocean Point, Yukon R @ Eagle, Kantishna R near Tanana R, & Yukon R @ Galena

It’s break up season in Alaska, and that means flooding. But you can help predict floods and keep Alaska safe! Just pull out your camera and send pictures of river ice to @NWSAPRFC via email or use the @FreshEyesonIce photo submission! (feoi.shinyapps.io/icephotos/) #akwx #riverwatch

New blog post is up! Check out the amazing experience we had last week, helping to host the @NASAGO Student Research Symposium at @uafairbanks! fresheyesonice.org/ice-news/2023/…

New piece in @ArcticResearch Witness Community Highlights about a project I've been working on this year, called SILT! Check it out here: arcus.org/witness-the-ar… This @FreshEyesonIce -adjacent project is testing (1/3)

It's not just sled dogs & racers on the Iditarod Trail this year. IARC's @FreshEyesonIce team is traveling from McGrath to Shageluk on snow machine, then over to the Yukon River and up to Galena. Follow along as they visit schools and gather river ice data share.garmin.com/fresheyesonice

@Climatologist49 @NWSAPRFC Nope, you should be able to submit anytime! Thank you!!

@Climatologist49 @NWSAPRFC Did you get a chance to submit your ice thickness data using the QR code? We'd love to see it!

@Climatologist49 @NWSAPRFC Love it!

So awesome to see our ice scoops in use! Thanks for taking measurements for us @Climatologist49 🤩

We had so much fun working with @uncglobalhydro and @TedLanghorst last week!!

We had a fabulous time working with middle school students this week! Students helped us build and install sediment sensors on the Tanana River so we can figure out how sediment moves (or doesn't!) underneath river ice. Read the full story here: fresheyesonice.org/ice.../2023/ja…

@IARC_Alaska education researcher Christi B highlights 2 Fresh Eyes on Ice student research projects from our 2022 student research symposium, hosted in partnership with @NASAGO! These 2 ice projects from AK students were SO cool ❄️😎

FRIDAY: I'm presenting my research (first research talk ever!) on how different #Arctic community + #CitizenScience program designs influence youth learning during session ED53A. Come hang out on the last day of #AGU22!

Our Fresh Eyes PhD student is surveying scientists who work on Arctic community + citizen science projects for her dissertation research. Check it out and take her survey!

I'm studying scientists' experiences leading or working on community + citizen science projects in the Arctic for my dissertation research! If you're a scientist that fits this description, I'd love to hear from you: bit.ly/sccssurvey Please RT & share - thanks!

Another great commute @Toolik. Great to have fun and to do work!

Mark Leary gives delightful talk about building ice road on Kuskokwim River. Pictures, demos, and good humor during the Ice Road Symposium, November 8-9 in #Bethel.

Ice thickness has important implications for aquatic habitat in both cases. Thanks to @BLMNational and @NSF for support of this research! (2/2)

Hot off the press! This study reports how very thick ice can still grow on North Slope rivers and lakes during low snow winters, despite recent thinning trends (1/2) cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
