How can scientists and a community work together to simultaneously advance science and serve the community? Our @NSF Smart and Connected Communities landslide warning work in Sitka, Alaska explores these themes. @PardeeRAND @SitkaScience

Do you think shallow landslides in permafrost are cool? Me too!

The landslide was captured on video by a motorist, Michael Tabudravu, who stopped when he saw debris on the road ahead of the main event. "It’s not something you see every day…It was a bit of an adrenalin rush to be honest.”

I occasionally enjoy a good bird call, particularly when they’re funny! Have you ever heard the calls of a ptarmigan? If not, take a listen! https://t.co/Gu5ilBPo6K #denaliwildlife #willowptarmigan

“Approximate contact due to wildlife”: in @DenaliNPS, the wildlife always wins! Sometimes that means waiting to access a site or relying on remote observation. Binoculars and aerial imagery are crucial to fieldwork here!

Field season is officially underway! Denali summit not pictured, but you can see the topographic expression of a normal fault on the right side of the valley. #DenaliLandslides2018

"This slide is about 3 km long and the track is over 500 m wide (the headscarp area is about 1 km wide)...located southeast of Komo Station."

Looking forward to another field season in Denali National Park! I'll be surveying and using geophysics to assess landslide occurrence in the park, but we will have to wait until some of this snow melts! (Webcam photo from Mt. Healy this morning).
