Arctic science

The latest installment of the art and science collaborative known as In a Time of Change is currently on view at the Fairbanks Arts Association’s Bear Gallery in Pioneer Park. The collaborative process enhanced interaction among artists to create works that re-imagine the boreal forest in the new exhibit called “Boreal Echoes.”

For the past decade more Arctic residents have noticed an increase in beavers and the way they change the land and affect other animals. The Arctic Beaver Observation Network, or ABON is meeting for three days in Fairbanks to inform each other about new findings.

Rapid changes in Arctic temperatures are influencing animal reproductive behavior. A University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist published a study in the current edition of “Science” magazine, building on 25 years of measurements.

Beavers are moving in to the Arctic. Scientists at University of Alaska Fairbanks are seeing thousands of new beaver ponds changing streams and rivers, and accelerating climate change. The effects are so dramatic they can be seen from space.
