Happy #FieldworkFriday! The PNSN field crew upgraded the battery bank at BURLY this week. BURLY contributes to Shake Alert earthquake early warning and serves as a repeater for seismic data transmitted by radio from EDM at Mt. St. Helens and WATCH near Mt. Rainier.

This week we are analyzing seawater samples collected during the NOAA Fisheries Northern Bering Sea survey! #FieldworkFriday #OceanAcidification 🧪🌊🦑🙌

What happens after a #wildfire is contained?
This #FieldWorkFriday, the NSL field team partnered with BLM and the Forest Service to install a new remote wildfire monitoring camera at Santa Rosa Peak.

CIRES scientists use all sorts of tools to understand environmental change.

Researchers at CIRES' @earthlabcu.bsky.social use drone imagery to track changes in vegetation cover, fire, and more. This week's #FieldworkFriday photos shows scientists preparing for a drone flight.

Let’s have a very THEMATIC #fieldworkfriday today! starting off with Lowther Castle up near Penrith, the lakes, and all that #archaeology… some of which is, obvs, The Archaeology of… poo 💩🏺🤘https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXSJRrw1enbQYishJwl6MSbkdjqToG_JK&si=zDp5i3w1lwKM7lN1

It's our final #FieldWorkFriday of the season! Today, we revisit Nikolai where our local school partner 🏫 allowed the team to build the tower shown here. It receives the data streamed by radio wave 📻️ from 2 remote stations, K20K and L20K, each about 40 miles from Nikolai. Stay tuned 📡 for TriviaTues

Happy #FieldworkFriday! Satellite comms, like the Starlink at PASS, lets us reliably transmit data where cell coverage is poor. But satellite dishes are power hogs, so we often use a short radio hop from a solar-powered seismic site to an AC-powered site with a satellite dish.

Foreground left: side of small white shed. Beside it stands weather-monitoring equipment mounted on wooden posts: metal sensor box, cables, a tall pole, and rectangular solar panel at top.

Center: small leafy fruit tree in grassy field. Beyond it stretches open pasture, enclosed by thin wire fencing and wooden fence posts.

Background: dense evergreen trees line field. Low forested hills rise at far right. Sunlight casts long shadows across grass. Photo feels clear, peaceful, and outdoorsy.

Center: Underground Depart box with the seismic sensors

Right: solar-powered monitoring station mounted on stone-and-wood base. Two solar panels angle upward. Below them are weather sensors, pipes, wires, and small instruments.

Open metal electrical control box mounted outdoors. Inside, many red, black, blue, green, and gray wires run between terminal blocks, connectors, power supplies, and other electrical components. Wires are bundled and coiled near top and right side. A horizontal grounding bar with several black cable clamps crosses middle. Bottom section contains additional terminal blocks and a larger gray control module. Sunlight creates a rainbow-like glare across image. Wooden support posts and outdoor grass visible around box.

Tall metal pole stands beside wooden post, with rectangular solar panel mounted at top. Coiled conduit and electrical wiring run along pole, with small round instrument attached near middle. Aluminum ladder leans against structure in foreground. Beyond it, sunny pasture, rustic fence, evergreen forest, and wooded hills sit beneath bright blue sky with scattered white clouds.

The more we listen in to the sea, the better we can understand the impact of noise pollution on wildlife. Happy Friday Everybody!

Here we are demonstrating #SpotterSound hydrophone tech to young sailors aboard the schooner Seaward! 🎧⛵️

CIRES scientists investigate climate and environmental changes from pole to pole.

In November 2019, CIRES scientists and colleagues installed a GPS on the George VI Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula. #FieldworkFriday

It’s #FieldworkFriday! Field team members Shah Khan and Cade Quigley visited Nikolai recently to build a new relay station from the ground up! Thank you to Top of the Kuskokwim School for hosting the new station. Khan and Quigley also gave a presentation to students and practiced earthquake safety!

Happy #FieldworkFriday! The highest-elevation station in the continental US, St Andrews Rock (STAR) on Mt Rainier, sits above 11,000ft. Steep terrain, erosion, and changing snow & ice are forcing a move down ridge. This visit helped identify a safer, more stable site nearby.

Happy #FieldworkFriday! We maintain seismic stations at several of Alyeska's Trans Alaska Pipeline System pumpstations. This week the field team upgraded the data digitizer (which makes data ready to transmit) at station PS08 and performed "shake tests" to ensure it would alert Alyeska's systems.

Happy #FieldworkFriday! Our field crew headed to Mt. Rainier to perform maintenance at RCS, one of our seismic stations. Along the way, they enjoyed stunning views of the snow-covered peaks.

A rugged, snow-dusted mountain ridge rises beneath a deep blue sky. There is also station sits along the rocky slope over looked by clear blue sky.

This week we are analyzing seawater samples collected by @uafairbanks.bsky.social oceanographers partnering with the National Park Service to detect #OceanAcidification in #GlacierBay and #WrangellStElias.

www.nps.gov/articles/000...

University of Alaska Fairbanks oceanographers deploy equipment to observe seawater properties such as temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. The vertical sample bottles collect seawater at various depth to later analyze for chlorophyll, nutrients, and carbonate chemistry.

This oceanographic research station is in a glacial fjord in the northeast Pacific offshore Alaska.
