    Friday Focus: Reflections and looking ahead

    December 20, 2024

    Fall classes are completed, grades are submitted, earth system researchers and grad students have returned from AGU, staff are finalizing year-end projects, and campus is feeling a lot like the holidays. In this period of transition before the end of the year, I am reflecting on everything that has happened at ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ in the past 12 months. It's been a busy year! Thank you to everyone who spent another year dedicated to ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ's mission. It takes a million little things to go right every day to keep ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ running, and it takes all of you to keep it running well. Thank you.

  • Workshop: Civility in the workplace

    December 16, 2024

    The prevalence and costs of incivility are on the rise in organizations. When employees are exposed to incivility in the workplace, they experience diminished self-control, which creates increased incivility toward co-workers. A session on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025, from 11 a.m. to noon will help you understand why we act less civil today and give some suggestions for making sure you don’t exhibit behaviors that are uncivil.

    Friday Focus: Meet me at the ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ booth under the aurora

    December 13, 2024

    For many of the business-suit types in Washington, D.C., jeans, t-shirts, and backpacks camouflage science rockstars as they scurried between sessions at the American Geophysical Union meeting this week. Every year over 25,000 geoscientists assemble to discuss their results, discover new collaborators, and learn what is happening at the cutting edge of their field. And hopefully, due to the hard work of the ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Research AGU booth committee and many others, more are enticed to join us here, in Fairbanks, as new faculty or new students. ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ was well represented with more than 170 faculty, students, and staff participating in AGU24 giving roughly 180 presentations during the week. While old hat for many faculty, presenting at AGU is a rite of passage for students as they advance to their degrees.
