Nearly two billion people live in a region where tropical cyclones (TC) are an annual threat. TCs are deadly and can cause billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide. During peak season in the Northern Hemisphere, typically July through October, about two TCs develop or are ongoing every day. However, this and overall TC frequency vary substantially year-to-year.
WASHINGTON (Interior Department) â  The U.S. Department of the Interiorâs Office of Insular Affairs applauds the Interior Museum for recently acquiring items donated by Nicole Yamase, who on March 11, 2021, became the first Pacific Islander to descend to the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. The Interior Museum accepted the items this week in honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander Heritage month.
âMay these items represent our strength, pride, resiliency, and the amazing accomplishments we will continue to achieve as Pacific Islanders,â said Nicole Yamase.
âWe often remark that our collection spans from West to East and from sea to sky, but to be given these items that have traveled with Nicole Yamase to the deepest known section of the Earthâs ocean is a first for the museum and incredibly special,â said Tracy Baetz, chief curator of the Interior Museum.

When he joined the U.S. Navy in 2010, Mychal Valle didn’t think he would ever return to school. After all, he got to work on new radar technologies in the navy and got recognized for writing technical manuals. But by the time he left the navy in 2016, Valle’s service helped him discover his passion: a career in science.
Now 33, Valle graduates with a bachelor’s degree in applied physics and engineering from UC Riverside next month. He has been accepted into the UCLA Physics Bridge Program, giving him two years of full funding beginning this fall for a master’s level program in physics and automatic enrollment as a doctoral student at UCLA after passing the comprehensive exam.
