SUMMARY:The Bear's Dilemma: A Lecture by Dr. Bretwood Higman
DESCRIPTION:The Bear’s Dilemma: A Lecture by Dr. Bretwood Higman \nFriday\, February 28 | 5pm | Free\, suggested donation of $5 \nThe Bear’s Dilemma: Can society use science to prepare for climate disasters? \nClimate 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? \nDr. 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. \n  \nThis lecture is supported by The Homer Foundation. \n  \nCONTACT: Maghan Monnig\, Curator of Education & Public Programs\, education@prattmuseum.org

SUMMARY:First Friday: "Bering Sea Storms: Past to Present" Exhibit Introduction with Arctic Coastal Geoscience Lab Director Chris Maio
DESCRIPTION:First Friday: Bering Sea Storms: Past to Present Exhibit Introduction with Arctic Coastal Geoscience Lab Director Chris Maio\nFriday\, April 4 | free admission to all galleries from 4-6pm | lecture begins at 5pm\, suggested donation of $5\nJoin 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. \n 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.  \nThrough 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.\n  \nABOUT 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/\nABOUT 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.\n  \nThis lecture is supported by The Homer Foundation. \nContact Maghan Monnig\, Curator of Education & Public Programs\, for more information at education@prattmuseum.org or (907) 435-3334.
