The melting Alaska glacier that wears the scars of climate change

The fourth-largest outburst flood in Juneau’s history crested in August. Soon after, Eran Hood stood at the edge of an enormous empty basin in the mountains above the city.

Just a day or so before, the basin had been full of 16-billion gallons of water.

“This right here is the source of all the trouble in Juneau,” said Hood, an environmental scientist at the University of Alaska Southeast who has been coming to this spot for 15 years to study an annual flood triggered by rapid melting on the Mendenhall Glacier.

UAS expands its reach, drawing students from more states

The University of Alaska Southeast has more than doubled the number of states nonresident students are coming from.

“This year, we are welcoming students from nearly 30 different states,” UAS Chancellor Aparna Palmer said during an interview on KTOO’s Juneau Afternoon on Thursday. “Last year, 11 states. This year, 29 states.”

Palmer credits those numbers to the school’s new tuition policy and targeted recruitment. UAS dropped out-of-state tuition and began offering in-state tuition rates to all students starting this fall semester.
