Masks required at UAF Interior, Fairbanks locations
The COVID-19 community levels for the Fairbanks area and Interior Alaska are currently
in “orange,” which means masks are required indoors and outdoors when you can’t remain
6 feet away from other people. Find more about the community levels and what they
mean for UAF operations on the UAF COVID-19 dashboard.
University of Alaska Fairbanks alumnus Cody Keith has won a first-place award in his

us decorate the float at the Carlson Center before the parade begins – free coffee
and snacks will be available for volunteers. Please read through the parade guidelines and sign up in advance.

A new paper published in Science Advances synthesizes the impact of metal and coal mines on salmon and trout in northwestern
North America, and highlights the need for more complete and transparent science to
inform mining policy. It is the first comprehensive effort by an interdisciplinary group of experts that
explicitly links mining policy to current understanding of watershed ecology and salmonid
biology.
