As Alaska warms, landslides are projected to be a growing problem. What have we learned from the deadly landslides in Sitka and the more recent event in Haines? How much will research and early warning systems help communities plan for development in the future, particularly in Southeast Alaska? We’ll discuss the science on ground instability and how it could save lives.
