  1. White House plans for #Alaska #OilAndGas face hurdles – including from Trump and the industry

    President Donald Trump says he wants to grow oil and gas production and advance the goal of what he calls U.S. 'energy dominance'

    The Conversation
    Apr 24, 2025

    Excerpt: "In one of his first executive orders after retaking office on Jan. 20, 2025, Trump declared that the U.S. would develop Alaska’s #petroleum resources 'to the fullest extent possible.'

    "The Biden administration had banned oil leasing in three areas of Alaska. One was all but 400,000 acres in the coastal plain portion of the #ArcticNationalWildlifeRefuge. Another was a 13-million-acre swath of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, a massive parcel of federal land west of the refuge. The third area was 44 million acres of the offshore coastal portion of the northern #BeringSea, based on concerns for #TribalRights and the #MigrationRoutes of #MarineMammals.

    "Trump moved quickly to reverse all these bans, describing them as an 'assault on Alaska’s sovereignty and its ability to responsibly develop (its) resources for the benefit of the Nation.' And Trump went farther, expanding the available land by an additional 6 million acres in the petroleum reserve and another 1.1 million acres of the wildlife refuge.

    "All those areas are home to many different types of wildlife, as well as Indigenous groups."

  2. Fluvial System Block Diagrams
    --
    I was looking to understand a fluvial system the other day, up in the high Arctic, as I looked at 3DEP remote sensed elevation data… I have always been fascinated by the how geology, water, weather shapes a landscape, including erosion (aka geomorphology if you will) – and realized how very much value fluvial block diagrams have as we try to conceptualise what has, is and will happen(ed.)

  7. #Scientists have more evidence to explain why billions of #crabs vanished around #Alaska
    CNN reports that the crabs' "horrific demise appears to be just one impact of the massive transition unfolding in the region, scientists reported... Parts of the #BeringSea are literally becoming less #Arctic."

  10. Billions of #crabs went missing around #Alaska. Scientists now know what happened: Warmer #ocean #temperatures likely caused them to starve to death. The finding comes just days after the Alaska Department of Fish and Game announced the #snowcrab harvest season was canceled for the second year in a row, citing the overwhelming number of crabs missing from the typically frigid, treacherous waters of the #BeringSea. cnn.com/2023/10/19/us/alaska-c #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

  13. Discovered in the deep: scientists solve mystery of ‘pogo-stick’ seabed holes
    theguardian.com/environment/20 by Helen Scales

    "During an #expedition in the cold waters of the #BeringSea last summer, a team of scientists spotted neat lines of holes poked into the #seafloor. But they did not know who – or what – had created them. #Scientists on the #German #ResearchVessel #Sonne set about hunting for clues."

  14. Hot off the digital press: the Spring 2023 issue of Bering Science, a project of the Alaska Ocean Observing System with contributions from the International Arctic Research Center. This issue has articles on crabs, salmon, sea birds harmful algal blooms and, yes, weather & climate, including a recap of ex-Typhoon Merbok.

    Recent updates to the Distribution Mapping and Analysis Portal (DisMAP) include additional years of data, new filtering features, and data from a new region—the Northern Bering Sea.

  16. The median date for #BeringSea maximum #SeaIce extent is still above a week away, so there's still time for ice to expand significantly IF there is a sustained period of north to northeast winds. However, it's now virtually certain that the 2023 maximum extent will be lower than the 1991-2020 average. #akwx #Arctic #ClimateMonitoring

  17. We'll be tracking the Bering Sea ice extent for the seasonal maximum in the coming weeks. It's possible the max extent happening, now as south to southeast winds are coming this weekend and will continue into next week. But as the graphic shows, it's not uncommon for max #BeringSea #seaice extent to occur in late March or even early April.
