(Radio Iowa) Much of Iowa has seen warmer-than-normal temperatures in recent days, but autumn will soon transition to winter and the National Weather Service is encouraging Iowans to prepare now for the inevitable. Meteorologist Chad Hahn (HON) says this Thursday is Winter Weather Awareness Day, which is devoted to getting our homes and vehicles ready for the cold season ahead. The Iowa D-O-T says 75-percent of winter crashes occur with two inches of snow or less, so he says even light snowfalls need to be taken very seriously. Hahn says Iowans should be familiar with the differences between a watch and a warning, and outfit a winter survival kit for your car. The weather service will be releasing a variety of winter preparation tips on its social media pages, including at the website: www.weather.gov/dmx. We still have about six weeks of fall ahead, as winter arrives on December 21st.

(Radio Iowa) – The University of Northern Iowa will work with four other schools to address climate change in Alaska over the next four years. The Cedar Falls institution is getting a near-14-million grant from the National Science Foundation to research the social and economic impacts of climate change on the Aleutian Islands’ indigenous population. Professor Andrey Petrov, director of U-N-I’s Arctic Center, says most of his team’s scientific work will go toward goals beyond the initial grant. “We think of this project not just like one big thing that happens in four years,” Petrov says. “We really think of it as a foundation for a long-term study that creates local capacity. The main problem in these local communities is they don’t have the local capacity to study what they want to study.”

Petrov says one of the goals is to bring sustainable employment and education to the area. “That would establish a network of local community research leads that would provide training and opportunities within the project,” he says, “but hopefully, other agencies will see it as a chance to develop a workforce in Alaska.”

The U-N-I group will look to recruit, train and educate research team leads from local populations as part of a workforce development initiative. The center will launch the project November 15th.
