My "Bold Grizzly Shares the Road" captures a spring moment from the Alaska Highway.

A golden-brown grizzly moves through tender green shoots and dry stems, fur catching the light and its presence both powerful and composed, anchored by earth tones and textured fur.

Which detail grabs you first — the gaze, the curve of the back, or the way the light skims the fur?

“Permafrost soils are particularly vulnerable to climate change. To assess and improve estimations of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) budgets it is necessary to accurately map soil carbon and nitrogen in the permafrost region. In particular, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks have been predicted and mapped by many studies from local to pan-Arctic scales. Several studies have been carried out at the Canadian Beaufort Sea coast, though no regional maps of terrestrial carbon stocks based on spatial modelling has been conducted yet. This study combines available field data from the Canadian Yukon coastal plain and uses it to map regional SOC and N stocks using the machine learning algorithm random forest and environmental variables based on remote sensing data. [The authors] developed models using the data for the entire region and separate models for the coastal mainland area and Qikiqtaruk Herschel Island. Each model was used to map SOC and N stocks for its respective area. [They] assessed the performance of the different random forest models by using crossvalidation. [They] further assessed model results using the Area of Applicability (AOA) method and the quantile regression forest approach, comparing the results and discussing their implications within the context of both methods. [They] explore[d] local differences in soil properties and how soil data distribution across the region affects the accuracy of the predictions of SOC and N stocks..."

@jimfl You can also do a loop: Drive to Skagway, Ferry to Haines, Drive (back towards Skagway), or in opposite direction. Best to make ferry rez.

If you have time, I recommend visiting Hyder/Stewart in the Misty Fjord National Monument off of Cassiar Hwy. Pretty cool place.

Dont forget to bring the Calvin and Hobbes book about the Yukon"

Hello #Yukon, this is likely the first ever #racketlon tournament in the territory!

August 29&30, singles and doubles, youth and adult, at the Canada Games Centre in #whitehorse
To keep it all in one facility, unfortunately, squash had to be replaced by #pickleball. As usual, there will be #tennis, #tabletennis, and #badminton.

Come and play for just $25!

Also if you live in the Yukon, don’t miss next week’s Tech Yukon AI & Data event series, where (among other events) I’ll be on this panel as the obligatory “but what if… less AI?” person. 😁 Should be fun! https://techyukon.ca/event/ai-us-navigating-connection-in-the-age-of-ai/ #Yukon #Whitehorse
