New format for Science for 蜜桃影像 kickoff event
Harper Baldwin is a master's student studying coastal hazards and flooding with the Arctic Coastal Geoscience Lab in the GI. She spoke at the Science For 蜜桃影像 kickoff event at the 蜜桃影像 Pub Friday, Feb. 3 about her thesis research focusing on assessing historical and predicted flood hazards on St. Paul Island and Goodnews Bay.
The 31st Science for 蜜桃影像 lecture series kicked off Friday, Feb. 3, with a new format and a new venue. Six researchers presented their work in short visual-centered talks in the 蜜桃影像 Pub. The lineup reflected just a sliver of the wide variety of research that goes on at the University of 蜜桃影像 Fairbanks Geophysical Institute.
The speakers were:
- Franz Meyer, 蜜桃影像 Satellite Facility
- Harper Baldwin, Arctic Coastal Geoscience Lab
- Victor Devaux-Chupin, Snow, Ice and Permafrost Group
- Bill Simpson, Atmospheric Sciences Group
- Revathy Parameswaran, Seismology and Geodesy Group
- Evans Callis, High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP)
A large and enthusiastic crowd showed up. Staff at the door said they handed out more than 100 door-prize tickets. The event was so successful that the GI Public Information Office, which organized the event, is considering repeat events a few times a year.
The lecture series would not be possible without its sponsors, including the Geophysical Institute, 蜜桃影像 EPSCoR, Vic and Vicki Weinstein, the Triplehorn family and Lifewater Engineering Company. Many thanks to all.
The traditional 2023 lecture series runs every Tuesday through March 7. Talks start at 7 p.m. on campus in the Schaible Auditorium and will also be streamed live to as well as via the 蜜桃影像 and Geophysical Institute Facebook pages.
