AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ROLE OF ANTHROPOGENIC CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE ALASKA FIRE SEASON OF 2015 The article discusses the study regarding the role of human-induced climate change on the fire season in Alaska in 2015. Topics discussed include the use of Buildup Index (BUI) to measure fire risk, the mixed precipitation trends, and the relation of wildfire risk with the preindustrial climate. It also mentioned the use of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model version 3 (GFDL CM3).

Assessing river ice breakup date, coastal tundra vegetation and climate divisions in the context of Alaska climate variability In Alaska, there exists a substantial knowledge gap of key climate drivers and filling these gaps is vital since life and the economy are inexorably linked with climate in the state. This thesis identifies and investigates three topics that advance the understanding of Alaska climate variability: the role of large-scale climate in Interior river ice breakup, the link between climate and arctic tundra vegetation, and climate divisions based on objective methods. River ice breakup in the Yukon-Kuskoswim watershed is occurring earlier by 1.3 days decade-1 1948-2008 and displays large year-to-year variability. April-May Interior Alaska air temperatures are the best predictor of river ice breakup and were linked to El...
