Lee Post is a nationally recognized bone articulation expert with more than thirty years of experience. He is one of the world’s leading authorities on salvaging, preparing, and articulating beached whales, a story that began when the Pratt Museum acquired a 17-foot beaked whale that washed up on the shores of Kachemak Bay in 1977. This led to fifteen years of building up the osteology collection at the Museum, followed by decades of collaborations with schools and students. Post has also created a variety of written manuals that are some of the only of their kind in the world. Learn more by visiting his website https://www.theboneman.com.

First Friday: Bering Sea Storms: Past to Present Exhibit Introduction with Arctic Coastal Geoscience Lab Director Chris Maio
Friday, April 4 | free admission to all galleries from 4-6pm | lecture begins at 5pm, suggested donation of $5
Join us in the Main Gallery at the Pratt Museum for this introductory presentation, which will focus on the 2022 research cruise aboard the R/V Sikuliaq featured within the museum exhibit.
Arctic Coastal Geoscience Lab Director Chris Maio and UAF Geophysical Institute PhD student Reyce Bogardus will discuss the research methods and activities, life aboard the ship, and inclusion of Indigenous partners from the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska. The Aleutians Change video will be shown and an open discussion held.
Through the presentation, the audience will gain a better understanding of how exciting and fruitful ship-based research is and how the partnerships created in the project have led to numerous broader outcomes and impacts.

ABOUT CHRIS MAIO Chris has over 15 years of experience investigating coastal hazards and their impacts on people and the environment. He is an Associate Professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and serves as the director of both the Arctic Coastal Geoscience Lab and the Alaska Coastal Cooperative. His current research integrates coastal hazard assessments with local and Indigenous knowledge to understand and educate about how a warming climate is impacting rural coastal communities. Chris is also leading the newly funded Navigating the New Arctic ACTION project. Learn more: https://acgl.community.uaf.edu/ and https://alaskacoastal.org/
ABOUT REYCE BOGARDUS Reyce is a PhD student at the Geophysical Institute’s Arctic Coastal Geoscience Laboratory. He has carried out geospatial and stratigraphic studies around coastal Alaska for the last 10 years. His current research is contributing to a societally relevant data gap in the Aleutians through sedimentological reconstructions of intense storms and volcanic activity as well as validated hydro-dynamic models fed by real-world observations. These efforts were made possible by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) vessel R/V Sikuliaq.

The Bear's Dilemma: A Lecture by Dr. Bretwood Higman
2025-02-28 17:00 - 18:30 | Pratt Museum, 3779 Bartlett Street , Homer, AK, 99603, United States
The Bear’s Dilemma: A Lecture by Dr. Bretwood Higman
Friday, February 28 | 5pm | Free, suggested donation of $5
The Bear’s Dilemma: Can society use science to prepare for climate disasters?
Climate change in Alaska is exacerbating natural hazards like wildfire, coastal erosion, flooding, and landslides. Hig (Bretwood Higman) has been studying large landslides in areas of Alaska where glacial retreat and permafrost thaw are destabilizing mountain slopes. As Alaska warms, landslides like this could generate devastating tsunamis or sever economically critical roads, railways, and pipelines. Scientific efforts are largely focused on gaps in our understanding: How can we detect signs that a slowly creeping slope is about to fail? How does permafrost contribute to the strength of mountains? However, what we do in order to use the things scientists learn is just as important as the science itself. A generation from now, will hindsight show we figured it out?
Dr. Bretwood ‘Hig’ Higman is a geologist who lives in Seldovia, and has spent his career studying tsunamis, earthquakes, and landslides. He received his PhD in geology from the University of Washington, Seattle, and is currently focused on studying landslides linked to climate change, including some that could generate dangerous tsunamis. He also helps organize Arctic T-SLIP, a group of scientists and community members seeking to mitigate the impacts of landslides resulting from climate change. In addition to natural hazards, Hig has a passion for wilderness adventure, collaboration between stakeholder communities and scientists, trail building, natural resource policy, science communication, and chainsaw milling.
