Katreen Wikstrom-Jones and Jill Nicolazzo work at the Alaska Department of Natural Resources: Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). Within the geohazards department, they utilize field measurements, remotely sensed data products, and numerical models to glean a better understanding of climate and cryosphere hazards. 

In this episode, we chat about how the team utilizes airborne lidar data to study landslides and avalanches and how these events affect humans and critical infrastructure within the State of Alaska. We also discuss what it's like to undertake fieldwork up north (hint: bears)!
