Kate Hayes, PhD student Integrated Biology, was recently awarded a GRIN (Graduate Research Innovation Grant) to expand her work focusing on vegetation succession (and in particular how changes in the post-fire communities alter flammability, testing the overall strength of negative feedback associated with the transition to deciduous species in the boreal forests of Alaska).
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
