    Visiting Scientist Lecture: Past Climate Impacts on Human Evolution

    Akasofu 501 2160 Koyukuk Dr, Fairbanks, AK, United States

    Dr. Axel Timmermann Our genus Homo emerged in Africa 2-3 million years ago during a time of climate cooling and increasing glacial cycles. How early humans adapted to these disruptions remains a mystery. This seminar introduces numerical models that simulate dispersal, adaptation, and interbreeding, using paleo­climate simulations to explore climate's role in human evolution. Axel…

    Climate Physics Journal Club – Dynamical downscaling for Southeast Alaska: A look at precipitation metrics

    Akasofu 501 2160 Koyukuk Dr, Fairbanks, AK, United States

    Presenter: Rick Lader, Postdoctoral Fellow, Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center Southeast Alaska has been under drought conditions for the past two years, with precipitation deficits of greater than 100 cm in some locations. These conditions have impacted hydropower electricity generation, fish habitat and forest health. Given the region’s extreme topographical gradients, newly produced dynamically downscaled…
