As sea ice declines, more polar bears are coming onshore each summer, increasing the potential for more human-bear interactions. See more at: https://t.co/BQ6veu2WTO

To understand the complex relationship between climate & #glaciers you’ll want:
- @USGS_Alaska & #USGS_NOROCK expertise
- glaciers in different climate regions
- serious technology
See how it’s done by the #USGS Benchmark Glacier Project: https://t.co/tjPbmbjAx6

Maybe you can help AVO solve an ashfall mystery! 🧵
From the 24th to the 28th of November 1907, volcanic ash fell across the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska, but the source of the ash remains unknown.

(image: Reports of the ashfall in print in the Nome Nugget, Nov.25, 1907)

Any guesses on what kind of bird this is? Seen recently in Kachemak Bay, Alaska.

It's a melanistic common murre seen from 2017 to 2021 near Homer Alaska. Read more at https://t.co/v6srjFltHo
