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.

Discovering new things all the time.

@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

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
