Observation Review and Next Steps for the Network

Erica Lujan, Mike Brubaker, and Mike Brook - LEO Staff at ANTHC

Description:

Over the years, LEO members have contributed excellent observations and news articles to the LEO Network. We know that the environment in Alaska is changing quickly, and to better understand that change, we looked back and reviewed the changes that people observed in 2019 compared to 2018. 

But we are also looking forward! Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on what the next steps for the LEO Network should be. We heard great suggest webinar time and content, the LEO website, and LEO Observations. If you have any thoughts on how the LEO Network can be more useful you, or if you would like to see a specific topic covered in the LEO webinars, contact Erica Lujan at enlujan@anthc.org.
