Folo @AKearthquake for updates. The Alaska Earthquake Center is a part of the @uafairbanks Geophysical Institute.
We have reviewed a magnitude 7.3 earthquake 55 miles south of Sand Point at 12:37 PM AKDT in the Alaska Peninsula region of Alaska, located at a depth of about 9 miles (15 km). The magnitude and location may change slightly as additional data are received and processed. This.

An international study published today in @ScienceMagazine has found that Earth’s glaciers will lose 76% of their 2020 mass under current climate policy pledges. Alaska would lose 69% of its glacier mass. A @uafairbanks professor is among the co-authors.

The @UA_System now owns the land beneath its upper atmospheric research facility near Gakona, nearly 10 years after acquiring the site’s science instruments from the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. government officially relinquished 1,158 acres beneath @uafhaarp earlier this year.

It's kind of like being at the beach without being at the beach. Tiny Gulf of Alaska ocean wave vibrations unnoticeable by humans reach as far north as the state’s Arctic coastline. Check out the new research by Ph.D. student Sebin John of the @uafairbanks Geophysical Institute

Drones. A boiling volcano crater in Central America. Our team at the @uafairbanks Geophysical Institute was up for this experimental mission. Check out our interactive mission website to see how our drone tech was used to make sampling an active volcano safer and efficient.

A rocket launching out of @PokerFlatRR is always exciting. But three?! That's the plan. Three NASA rockets will launch over the course of about three hours when the launch period opens next week. @NASAGoddard .

A four-person @uafairbanks team plans to land an unmanned aircraft in the crater of an active Costa Rica volcano this week to sample gas escaping from the soil. That's some trailblazing work. @UA_System #dronepilot

There's lots of human-made junk orbiting our planet, and it can damage satellites that are vital to modern-day living. Learn about a new detection method by scientists at @uafairbanks and @UCalgary.
