University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers are full of engaging science stories. Join the 2026 Science for Alaska winter talk series to learn about using climate science to reveal a changing Arctic, solving an Alaska earthquake mystery, tidewater glaciers across Alaska and Greenland, and a recent Beaufort Sea research expedition.
The 2026 talks are in-person at the UAF Schaible Auditorium (Usibelli Building, 1764 Tanana Loop). You can also register to watch free on Zoom (
