Sealaska Heritage Institute to hold Cultural Education Conference

The three-day event will be held virtually again due to the COVID-19 virus. The aim is to provide participants with an understanding of culturally responsive education and equip them to transform their classrooms, pedagogy, and curriculum to fully support all students’ success. Conference organizer and educator David Sheakley-Early said “When the classes and conference are combined, that helps give teachers and administrators the confidence to incorporate place-based curriculum and resources centered around Native Alaskan culture and heritage languages into schools,” noting teachers who have not taken the training are also welcome to attend the event. In the three-day event, Our Cultural Landscape: Culturally Responsive Education Conference, is open to educators from across Southeast Alaska and to students enrolled in the University of Alaska Southeast Preparing Indigenous Teachers and Administrators for Alaska Schools program and UAS’s Master of Arts in Teaching program.

Alaska s US senators push to end fishing vessel mask requirement | Community

The mask requirement for all persons aboard fishing vessels still stands and Alaska’s U.S. senators are adding their clout to have it removed. A Coast Guard a Marine Safety Information Bulletin issued on March 22 states its authority to restrict vessel access to ports and operations if they fail to follow the rules as defined by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Vessels that have not implemented the mask requirement may be issued a Captain of the Port order directing the vessel’s movement and operations; repeated failure to impose the mask mandate could result in civil and/or criminal enforcement action,” the bulletin says.

University of Leeds | News > Environment > Melting glaciers could speed up carbon emissions

Melting glaciers could be triggering a ‘feedback process’ that causes further climate change, according to new research. An international research team led by the University has for the first time linked glacier-fed mountain rivers with higher rates of plant material decomposition, a major process in the global carbon cycle. As mountain glaciers melt, water is channelled into rivers downstream. But with global warming accelerating the loss of glaciers, rivers have warmer water temperatures and are less prone to variable water flow and sediment movement. These conditions are then much more favourable for fungi to establish and grow.  Fungi living in these rivers decompose organic matter such as plant leaves and wood, eventually leading to the release of carbon dioxide into the air. The process – a key part of global river carbon cycling – has now been measured in 57 rivers in six mountain ranges across the world, in Austria, Ecuador, France, New Zealand, Norway and the Unit
