In this latest issue, observers from Tikiġaq (Point Hope), Qikiqtaġruq (Kotzebue), Wainwright, Utqiaġvik and Kaktovik share how "near-normal" spring-to-fall conditions led to successful whaling and wildlife behavior more typical of the past. Further placing 2020 in historical context, AAOKH news shares an overview of temperature and sea ice trends for the region.
The newsletter also introduces new AAOKH staff and students, highlights new and continued research, and introduces AAOKH’s observer, Guy Omnik, in Tikiġaq.
