With a few dozen active volcanoes, more earthquakes than any other state, and more caribou than people, Alaska is different from the other 49 states. For more than a decade, Ned Rozell has written about the amazing scientific photo: moose, by Ned Rozellaspects of Alaska as the science writer for the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Trekking the state, and interviewing countless scientists, Rozell has accumulated a wealth of knowledge on the rich scientific landscape Alaska offers. In his lecture, Rozell will highlight the variety of features and creatures that make Alaska like no other place on the planet.
