Noatak has lost 19' of river bank since May 19th. Now the road to the community gravel source is failing.
I'm guessing all the rain we received during summer of 2021 created the trench.
"We lost internet and a power outage effected several residential homes and businesses. Of course there was no way to travel. Thankfully no medical emergencies."
The development of the Southwest Calgary Ring Road has resulted in alterations into the use of the area by deer. The combination of construction disturbances, removal of habitat, and presence of a linear barrier has seemingly resulted in fewer deer being observed in the neighborhood of Woodbine.
"This year we had a lot more rain than other years, we used to be able to get on our ATVs and travel 10-12 miles upriver. I haven't seen or heard of anyone using ATVs to travel upriver this year. I think the breakthrough channel has a lot to do with us not being able to travel on ATVs. I see a lot of my favorite ATV fishing spots washed away from the highwater."
Unusual high water all summer in Noatak, causing massive erosion towards the airport and old buried landfill, exposing old trash into the river.
After significant rain and high water from the Kobuk River the Native Village of Kobuk is now flooded.
In December of 2020 an atmospheric river brought heavy rains on top of a deep snowpack.
Trees which normally obscure the view of the sea, have lost all of their leaves.
Warm May temperatures are rapidly melting the above-average snowpack in the Kuskokwim Basin. Snowmelt is running in to still-stable river ice, causing ice jams and flooding near Napaimute.
A hole cut in the ice has produced a lot of overflow, and flooding is now threatening homes and a state-managed road.
Open water over the ocean creates conditions that lead to hoar frost and rime ice. These conditions impact travel and are expected to become more common as ice forms later in Norton Sound.
A storm system during the last week of November brought high winds and seas to Newtok and other western Alaska communities.
Observers seek guidance on causes for road cracks and how to address damage.
Not seen in at least my 15 years in Yellowknife.
Above average snowfall at the headwaters of the Kuskokwim, and early break up, led to higher than average river flows past Aniak. The river banks are eroding, threatening community infrastructure.
Seasonal swings set drivers up for bad trip.
Both sides of Cook Inlet are eroding near Tyonek. The erosion is reaching old and new growth trees, and causing more debris to fall in to the Inlet, which easily get caught in set nets.
