In early December, two Integrative Biology undergraduate students, Kristin Olson and Vishnusai Kodicherla, and two graduate students, Kate Hayes and Kyle Turchick, (not pictured) presented their research projects in Alaska at the largest earth science conference in the world, the annual AGU meeting in San Francisco, California. As part of the Alaska disturbance research in the Brian Buma lab, they presented results from the 2019 field season on carbon, permafrost, and plant changes at high latitudes. Dr. Brian Buma also gave a talk at the conference. The work was sponsored by an NSF grant to Dr. Buma.
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.
