On March 13-14, 2012, the Geophysical Institute co-hosted the Alaska Weather Symposium. As in 2011, there was a student poster and oral presentation competition similar to those held at other academic conferences. This year, three students from Japan participated in this competition along with University of Alaska Fairbanks students from the Department of Atmospheric Sciences (GI, IARC, CNSM), Computer Sciences, and the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.

Eroding islands, disappearing glaciers, lots of greenhouse gases

Kasatochi Island, pictured here one year after its 2008 eruption, is experiencing some of the fastest erosion on the planet, with about 3 feet of its muddy shoreline eaten away each day.

The latest meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco in December 2011 featured hundreds of talks about Earth science, some of those relating to Alaska (and some of those comprehensible to a non-scientist). Here are a few items from the notebook I carried around the Moscone Center:
