Birders flock to Homer for shorebird festival
World shorebird populations have plummeted 70% in the past 50 years, according to the Audubon Society. Scientists blame a combination of factors, including climate change. Many of the birds are specifically adapted to where they live and where they migrate to. One of those migration points is the Homer Spit in Homer, Alaska. Every year in May over 100,000 birds from 130 different species come to rest and feast at the spit. Birders come from around the world to see this spectacle, and in response, the Shorebird Festival was created 27 years ago.

More wildfires in Alaska? - Randi Jandt - Science for Alaska Lecture 2019
Randi Jandt presented this lecture on Feb 19, 2019 at Raven Landing in Fairbanks, Alaska. Randi is an expert in Alaska fire ecology, tundra fire, fire management, and wildlife biology. She is a Fire Ecologist with the Alaska Fire Science Consortium.

Wildfires were in the news last fall -- again. Have you wondered what drives large fire seasons and whether climate or humans are more to blame? Here's an Alaska perspective on climatic and environmental changes we've observed so far and how they affect wildfire incidence, size, seasonality, effects, and severity. Since many environmental factors (temperature, lightning, permafrost, forest make-up) contribute to fire processes, an interdisciplinary approach is essential to predicting what fire seasons of the future will be like. We'll discuss current thinking on what will happen in Alaska with climate projections in the not-so-distant future.

The 2019 Science for Alaska Lecture Series will happen on Tuesdays, January 29 through March 5, at 7p.m. at Raven Landing Center, located at 1222 Cowles St.

Hosted at the Raven Landing Center on Cowles street in Fairbanks Alaska.
Science for Alaska is sponsored by the Triplehorn family, Lifewater Engineering and Class 5 Boatworks, Alaska EPSCoR and the UAF Geophysical Institute.

1964 Quake: The Great Alaska Earthquake
1964 Quake: The Great Alaska Earthquake is an eleven minute video highlighting the impacts and effects of America's largest recorded earthquake. It is an expanded version of the four minute video Magnitude 9.2. Both were created as part of USGS activities acknowledging the fifty year anniversary of the quake on March 27, 2014. The video features USGS geologist George Plafker, who, in the 1960's, correctly interpreted the quake as a subduction zone event. This was a great leap forward in resolving key mechanisms of the developing theory of plate tectonics. Landslide impacts and the extreme tsunami threat posed by these quakes are also discussed. Loss of life and destruction from the earthquake and accompanying tsunamis was the impetus for things like the NOAA Tsunami Warning Centers and the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program.

Alaska earthquake today: Live coverage of aftermath of 7.0 magnitude quake near Anchorage
Back-to-back earthquakes measuring 7.0 and 5.8 rocked buildings and buckled roads Friday morning in Anchorage, prompting people to run from their offices or take cover under desks and triggering a warning to residents in Kodiak to flee to higher ground for fear of a tsunami
This is a developing story. Follow the latest news here:
Officials issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas of southern Alaska after earthquake, but that was later rescinded.
There were no immediate reports of any deaths or serious injuries. The U.S. Geological Survey said the first and more powerful quake was centered about 7 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, with a population of about 300,000.
People ran from their offices or took cover under desks. Cracks could be seen in a two-story downtown Anchorage building, and photographs posted to social media showed fractured roads and collapsed ceiling tiles at an Anchorage high school.
One image showed a car stranded on an island of pavement, surrounded by cavernous cracks where the earthquake split the road.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The United States Marine Corps's Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion, formerly Company, was a specialized team of Marines and Navy Corpsmen that performed clandestine preliminary pre–D-Day amphibious reconnaissance of planned beachheads and their littoral area within uncharted enemy territory for the joint-Navy/Marine force commanders of the Pacific Fleet during World War II. Often accompanied by Navy Underwater Demolition Teams and the early division recon companies, these amphib recon platoons performed more reconnaissance missions (over 150) than any other single recon unit during the Pacific campaigns.They are amongst the patriarch lineage of the Force Reconnaissance companies which still continue providing force-level reconnaissance for the latter Fleet Marine Force. Their countless efforts have contributed to the success of the joint-Marines/Army maritime landing forces assigned under the Navy fleet commanders during the island-hopping campaigns of the numerous atolls in the Pacific.
Their trademark of amphibious techniques utilized insertion methods under the cover of darkness by rubber boats, patrol torpedo boats, Catalina flying boats, converted high speed destroyer transport ships, or APDs, and submarines for troop transports. These Marines applied skills in topographic and hydrographic surveys by charting and measuring water depths, submerged coral heads, and terrain inland; taking photographs and soil samples for permeability for amphibious tractors and landing craft parties.
Their assignments included scouting or reconnoitering a planned, or potential landing site, and intelligence-gathering missions. These teams also evaluated the beaches looking for exits off the hostile beaches inland, for contingency measures if the Marine landing force were to necessitate a retreat. Most importantly, they compromised the locations of enemy forces, their strengths and weakness, and other importance in the follow-up of an amphibious assault.
