3. Website and Publication Available
   Dangerous Ice Research Project
   University of Alaska Fairbanks

The Elmer E. Rasmuson Library Oral History Program and the Institute of
Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks announce the
completion of the Dangerous Ice Research Project. A corresponding
website (http://www.jukebox.uaf.edu/dangerice) and publication are now
available.

With funding from the National Science Foundation, this research project
brought scientists and local experienced river travelers together to
investigate ice conditions on the Tanana River in interior Alaska. From
2004-2013, local experts provided historical perspective, personal
experience, and traditional knowledge about the ever-changing Tanana
River, and scientific measurements of water temperature, depth and
chemical composition, and ice thickness established better understanding
of the river system dynamics and the influence of groundwater upwelling
on ice conditions.

A booklet on the project, entitled “On Dangerous Ice: Changing Ice
Conditions on the Tanana River,” explains ice dynamics and gives travel
advice for the general public. It is available at no cost, and be
downloaded online (http://bit.ly/1bpiO1D) or you can contact Leslie
McCartney (lmccartney [at] alaska.edu, 907-474-7737) for a hard copy.
