@LordofHardwired @writerLyn Thank you for sharing this! Any additional observations or details are always appreciated. Don’t hesitate to reach out with further questions.

@LordofHardwired @writerLyn (2/2) We encourage feedback and are eager to learn if there were any impacts in Sitka that we missed. To report landslides, please email landslides@sitkascience.org

@LordofHardwired @writerLyn @LordofHardwired, (1/2) We’re glad you have been watching the dashboard! The Sept. 26 storm did not exceed thresholds in our warning system, which is based on 3hr bursts of rainfall. We are aware of the landslide in Juneau, however, our system is designed specifically for Sitka.

Happy Fall Ya'll 🍂 The views around the Center and in our hometown of Seward, Alaska are undeniable - autumn has arrived!

The khutí project is a collaborative effort to expand the monitoring network and risk tools to 6 communities in SE AK: Yakutat, Kasaan, Skagway, Hoonah, Craig, & Klukwan. Keep up with the amazing work they are doing through our website: sitkascience.org and our socials!

The Khutí project is underway! This month, our geoscience team, in collab with @tlingithaida and @uoregon, travelled to Hoonah, Haines, Klukwan, & Skagway to examine geological features, meet with community, Tribal leaders, and share research. #SoutheastAlaska #AcademicChatter
