A PhD geophysicist, PhD meteorologist, and guest experts write the science posts. Alaska-related science posts address geophysical or geochemical phenomena occurring in the State. These posts cover topics like permafrost, hot springs, weather, wildfires, and air quality to educate you about what you’ll see when traveling in Alaska and help you dress appropriately for the weather in style.
Educational posts on Alaska weather include funnel clouds, Chinook, and inversions. Finally, some posts provide solutions to mitigate negative impacts of polluted indoor air and to reduce Sun exposure during the long white nights.
Many fashion items wouldn’t be there if there were no science. Research and, in early times, trial-and-error made many apparel items possible. Without research, there weren’t the basics for textiles from many renewable resources or synthetics, as well as clothing for thermal-physiological comfort in hot and cold climates or sweating activities.
