This is a picture of Nuiqsut, ALaska. I am getting together a presentation for my first committee meeting this year. The research I will be working on in the coming years is studying the Prudhoe Bay plume as it travels towards Nuiqsut. We will be stationed in Nuiqsut to gather data(using the CRDS). Along with the science it will be a great experience to spend time in this native american village. It is very remote and cold(-46F today). There is no banking, sewage system or commeicial airport. Population around 420. It is far above the arctic circle 380 miles NORTH of fairbanks and 35 miles from the Beaufort Sea. Dea
