New method of monitoring shore ice could improve public safety

Specialized portable radar could serve as an early warning system to reduce risk for humans working on shorefast sea ice, according to a recently published study. The researchers suggest that use of portable interferometric radar can quickly reveal small changes that could indicate imminent movement or detachment of the ice, which is important as climate change affects ice behavior. The capability could also be useful for near-coastal navigation.


Fall registration efforts underway!

The snow is just now starting to melt, but registration for the fall 2023 semester is already underway! Priority registration occurs this week with open registration beginning Monday, April 3. Advisors and student support staff from across UAF are working tirelessly to proactively engage students in the registration process and advising appointments. However, registration is a university-wide effort! Encouraging students to register on time not only contributes positively to retention and persistence, but also benefits department-level enrollment and workload management efforts. Read more here.
