Grubby update from Homer PD (I know what I’m doing next time I’m in Anchorage!)

Big yikes

@Apayauq1 So bummed to be out of town for this! Hope I get to see the film soon!

This loss is felt greatly across the Alaska and Arctic science community. I encourage folks to read a little about Steve's life and legacy 👇

[UAF CFOS Physical Oceanographers @UAFOceans]

RIP Steve Okkonen, a valued colleague with a one-of-a-kind energy. Your friendship, wit, advice, generosity, and intelligence will be missed. The jokingly self-titled "UA Kasilof campus Fighting Barnacle's Chancellor and Janitor" has left quite a legacy.

You’d think that a seamount, taller than the tallest building on earth, would be hard to miss. But alas, here we are.

Discovering new things all the time.

GAY SARDINES. Spread the word. You thought there was just one?

@Laurel_Andrews MREs sound miserable, frankly. Depending on activity (e.g. hiking distancr) I generally follow the method I learned from Sarah Histand and Luc Mehl, aim for 2-1.5 lbs of food/day at average of 4 cal/g. More info here https://t.co/Md9ciGaIMY

For #PhycologyFriday and #SaintPatricksDay I decided to riff off of the traditional Irish #SeaMossPudding and made #Seaweed #Coconut custard with star fruit and edible flowers here with #agar from #Gracilaria (instead of using #Chondrus)

In July we noticed weird holes in the deep sea (3500 m deep!) off the Aleutian Islands near Alaska. And now we show they were made by..... Amphipods!

@sarahgravem Proposed Rule, right? So still a comment period and then the final Rule?

Ryan is past safety checkpoint! Less than 22 miles left!
He will be the 1st Inupiaq champion since John Baker in 2011!

@indigenousagent My go-to layover spot too. So good!

I had to dig-out the hard drive to take another look at Cameron 1915. As a bonus, here are some old shots of kelp! (Note: Alaria = Eualaria fistulosa)

Kelp blanket, yes please. Some have described this species having a teriyaki-like flavor.

Dec 1984, between 2 to 3 thousand beluga whales were trapped in ice between Chukchi Peninsula & Alaska. Soviet icebreaker Moskva created a channel & played classical music to entice the whales to follow it to open water. Called Operation Beluga. #alaskahistory #alaska

If he:

-Changes his entire look for you
-Travels 1,900 miles upstream to chase you
-Procreates and dies
-Replenishes an entire ecosystem with his carcass

He's not your valentine, he's a Chinook salmon

🧵In a paper published today in Environmental Research Letters, @_Manon_Berger, Lester Kwiatkowski, @laurent_bopp, and I used a high-resolution ocean biogeochemical model (NEMO-PISCES) to examine the efficacy and efficiency of kelp-based ocean CO₂ removal (CDR). 1/8
