An international team of researchers, including postdoctoral fellow Ezgi Karasozen
of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, has launched Seismica, supporting free global access to cutting-edge seismological research. The journal
also will not charge scientists a publication fee.
“I wanted to be a part of this because I’m concerned about the diversity, inclusion
and equity problems in STEM fields, especially geosciences,” she said. “I was thinking
about ways I can contribute to making geosciences more accessible.

When Typhoon Merbok damaged hundreds of miles of Alaska coastline on Sept. 17, a University
of Alaska Fairbanks drone team traveled to Western Alaska to support the U.S. Coast
Guard's emergency response. The flooding and wave action inundated homes, destroyed
roads and runways, damaged sea walls and other critical infrastructure, left communities
without water or communication and much more.
“The coordination among all of the communities, agencies in the Emergency Operations
Center, and with our team is renewing critical relationships built on geospatial information
among partners across all of Alaska. We are honored to support this critical mission,"
said Jessica Garron, the deputy director of the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science
Center at IARC.
