AK CASC Program Manager Jane Wolken recently published an article on the Scientific American Observations blog, titled As Alaska Warms, Wildfires Pose a Growing Threat. Wolken produced the piece as part of a blogging course through the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, during which participants gained skills in blogging and op-ed writing for magazines, newspapers and other news outlets. Wolken shares her unique experiences as a Fairbanks resident, boreal forest ecologist, and participant in AK CASC research on wildfire projections in Interior Alaska.
Wolken and Scott Rupp were featured in a Fairbanks News-Miner article as well.
