Alaska is the largest of all 50 states in terms of land mass. In fact, it is so big you could fit Texas inside Alaska not once, but twice. Despite its impressive size, Alaska still has the third-smallest population in the country. With months of darkness in winter and daylight in summ...
Malaspina Glacier is a piedmont glacier that spills out of the mountains and into a broad coastal plain, spreading like pancake batter as it approaches the coastline. Malaspina—aptly known asSit’ Tlein(“Big Glacier”) by the Tlingit—is losing mass by surface melt, but is presently protect...
Here we estimate the ice mass changes in the Canadian Archipelago, the Gulf of Alaska, and Greenland since 2003 by analyzing time-varying gravimetry data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment. Prior to 2013, interannual ice mass variability in the Gulf of Alaska and in regions around...
which is twice the size of Texas and one-fifth of the area of the entire United States. Yet the population of Alaska is only 700,000, of which 290,000 live in Anchorage (not in the capital, Juneau). It was hard to get a handle on the size of this state. It is just so big. ...
Sitka is the new safest city in Alaska based on per capita violent and property crime rates. See if your city also made the list!

Upon attaining statehood, Alaska increased the size of the United States by nearly one-fifth. The new area included vast stretches of unexplored land and untapped resources. Its settlement and exploitation have been hindered by its distance from the rest of the country and by geographic and clima...
documenting was extended down to the upper part of pre-tsunami sediment wherever possible. Each was described, photographed, and sampled, with particular attention being paid to grain-size variability and contacts within the tsunami deposit. We provide descriptions of the outcrops in the Supplemental...
