  6. I was driving home from work this morning when I saw a little moose eating tree branches. Shortly thereafter, mother moose wandered over closer to her little one.

    I was inspired to take a few photos from my car window. Especially, since there seems to be a little extra interest in the couple of moose photos that I posted a few of days ago. I appreciate that very much! 😃

    I cropped/enlarged a few of them.

  8. Road to MIR.EXE: 2061
    The new #Alaskan government #secedes from the United States and declares itself the Federated States of Alaska (FSA), with #Anchorage as its national capital. Cryosaga provides the capital and means to fund the Alaskan #defense. Russia, the PRC, Japan, Iran, India, and Pakistan quickly recognize the FSA’s #sovereignty in a bid to gain favored access to raw materials.

  14. 6:00AM: 45F, mostly cloudy.

    I'm baaaaack! I slacked off for a few days because typing with only one hand is laborious, 😆

    Mostly sunny today and it ended up mostly sunny yesterday on Alaska Day.

    It's a HUGE holiday in Sitka, for obvious reasons, barely mentioned in the rest of the state. But it's a state holiday, so there's that. 😉

    Heavy rain on Monday! yay!

    *👉The #Alaskan #NothingBurger? 👈*
    A 🧵

    While some political commentators have called the Trump-Putin summit in #Alaska a "nothing burger." --*I* beg to differ.

    The event has ostensibly been a summit without any tangible results. However, the general public or even the NATO allies not knowing the terms or the agreements does not mean that there hasn't been an agreement.

    These commentators overlook the fact, though that #Trump + #Putin

  18. Papers w US #StateDepartment markings, found Fri morning in business center of #Alaskan hotel, revealed previously undisclosed, potentially #sensitive details about the Aug15 meetings bet #Trump & #Putin in Anchorage. 8 pages that appear to have been produced by US staff left behind accidentally, shared precise locations, meeting times of the summit, phone numbers of U.S. government employees. Photos included of the docs - and you trust these people w #nationalsecurity npr.org/2025/08/16/nx-s1-55041

  20. #Trump putting together proposals to incentivize Putin to reach #peace deal including #exploiting #Ukrainian #minerals, sanctions relief, access to #Alaskan resources

    That Trump could greenlight Russia’s #exploitation of mineral-dense regions has baffled & alarmed experts

    It will mean international law does not exist & global relations will transform not even to #realpolitik, but #Squid Game

  24. Climate-Driven #SeaLevelRise Exacerbates #Alaskan and #Cascadian #Tsunami Hazards in Southern California: Implications to Design Parameters

    by Ignacio Sepúlveda, Andrew Mosqueda

    First published: 11 March 2025

    Abstract

    "Tsunami hazards in Southern California are expected to be exacerbated by the #ClimateChange driven sea level rise (#SLR). Two key questions are how relevant is this exacerbation and whether tsunami design parameters are significantly affected. We perform a non-stationary probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (nPTHA) in the Southern California bays of San Pedro and San Diego, with consideration of tsunamis generated by earthquakes in the Alaska-Aleutians (#ASZ) and Cascadia subduction zones (#CSZ). We evaluate the changes of the maximum considered tsunami (#MCT) design parameter, defined as a tsunami intensity that is exceeded with a 2% probability in 50 years. MCT elevation maps in the bays are calculated incorporating tides and SLR by means of a surrogate model. MCT elevations at assessed sites in San Pedro Bay and San Diego yield 2 m. The nPTHA shows that tsunamis generated in the ASZ zone are more hazardous in Southern California than those from the CSZ when evaluating MCT intensities. A comparison of scenarios with and without SLR also shows an increase of the MCT elevations of more than a foot in San Pedro Bay and San Diego, demonstrating that SLR causes a relevant impact, comparable to the influence of tides. The effect of SLR increasing MCT values is also comparable to the sensitivity of nPTHA results to some common earthquake epistemic uncertainties, such as the slip marginal distribution. Future tsunami hazard maps shall incorporate SLR when exposure times are long, as well as the uncertainty of tsunamigenic earthquake properties."

    Key Points

    - Earthquakes in Alaska and Cascadia subduction zones produce tsunami hazards in Southern California that are exacerbated by sea level rise

    - The elevation of maximum considered tsunamis (MCT) in San Pedro Bay and San Diego grow by more than a foot when SLR influence is included

    - The impact of Alaskan earthquake epistemic uncertainties on MCT elevations in Southern California is similar to that of the sea level rise

    Plain Language Summary

    "Climate-change-driven sea level rise is expected to worsen tsunami hazards in the long term. Tsunami waves will be able to propagate over rising sea levels that will enable them to inundate higher land. In this study, we quantify the increase of tsunami hazards in Southern California due to sea level rise. We consider tsunamis originated in the Alaska and Cascadia subduction zones. Changes of tsunami design parameters, as a result of the sea level rise, are also analyzed. Namely, we analyze the changes of the 'maximum considered tsunami' (MCT) elevation, defined as the elevation exceeded with probability 2% in 50 years. We find that earthquakes of the Alaska Subduction Zone constitute the main #tsunamigenic contributor. We also find that sea level rise increases MCT tsunami elevations by 0.3 m. With this increase, MCT levels reach 2 m in San Pedro Bay and San Diego. We compare the impact of sea level rise exacerbating tsunami hazards with the impact of common uncertainty sources of tsunami hazard assessment models. The uncertainty of earthquake models, for example, can produce differences in MCT levels that are comparable to the SLR influence."

  26. Made a loaf of #homemade #Alaskan #sourdough and mint tea with freshly picked #mint from my #hydroponic #garden . Alaskan sourdough is made with Alaskan sourdough starter. It is a traditional bread of the #USA state of Alaska and highly prized by bakers in #America .

  27. As a former #Alaskan who lived there 16 years, I am dismayed that knowledgeable Republicans are not trying to contain the idiotic behavior happening in Washington DC regarding #Denali. Here is a good article with the Alaskan view. I would make one correction, the #Native people have been there for millennia, not centuries. Denali is the mountain’s name. #Alaska #NativeAmerican #NativePeople #Athabascan apnews.com/article/trump-alask

  28. #Arctic animals are battling more #diseases in recent decades.

    Living off one of the richest #oceans in the Arctic, the #PolarBears by the #ChukchiSea appear to be thriving. Females are in good health & give birth to healthy cubs. Overall, this #Alaskan population seems strong.
    
But blood & fecal samples are telling a different story inside the bears: There’s an emerging battle against #pathogens bears have never encountered before.
