Travel to the United States The Regions of the United States The States, Districts and Territories of the United States State Flag State Seal State of Alaska. Alaska "The Last Frontier" Abbreviation: AK To the Aleut peoples, Alaska was “Alyeshka”, meaning the great land. Alaska, the 49th state, officially became a state on January 3, 1959. It was purchased from Russia for $7 million in 1867 and was made a territory of the United States in 1912. It is t he largest state in area, almost a fifth as large as all the rest of the United States. It remained largely unexplored until the Gold Rush in the 1880s. Fur trade was the main economic activity in Alaska for more than 150 years after 1741. In the 1880s and 1890s major gold deposits were discovered. In addition, other minerals, particularly copper, tin, mercury, and silver, were also mined. During the 1940s and 1950s large military bases were built. Beginning in the late 1970s, the economy underwent a fundamental change as the state's enormous oil deposits were exploited. Almost a third of Alaska is north of the Arctic Circle. At Point Barrow, Alaska's northernmost point, the sun never sets between May and August. Tourists come to see Alaska's mountain scenery, historic coastal towns and the state's vast areas of untamed wilderness. Mount McKinley in the Alaska Range is North America's highest peak at 20,320 feet and one of the greatest challenges for mountain climbers.

This discipline examines the physical and chemical processes that occur near the earth's surface. Because the near-surface is an interface between the atmosphere and the underlying lithosphere, an understanding of meteorology, hydrology, and geology is required. The interdisciplinary nature of the discipline is reflected in my training, as I have degrees in both Physical Geography (MS) and Geology (Ph.D). My primary areas of research are three-fold. The bulk of my efforts are concentrated on permafrost and periglacial studies conducted in the Arctic, primarily in northern Alaska. This research has been continually funded by the Office of Polar Programs at the National Science Foundation since 1991, and focuses on energy and moisture exchange between the atmosphere and permafrost, or permanently frozen ground. Permafrost underlies about 20% of the earth's land surface.

Geographic Analysis and Monitoring (GAM) The Geographic Analysis and Monitoring Program assesses the Nation's land surface at a range of spatial and temporal scales to understand the rates, causes, and consequences of natural and human-induced processes and their interactions that affect the landscape over time. The program conducts long-term geographic studies of the land use and disturbance histories of the U.S. and produces reports on the status and trends of the Nation's land surface.

The goal of the Alaska Geographic Alliance (AGA) is to prepare Alaska's students to function effectively in a global society through the development of geographic literacy. Alaska Geographic Alliance and National Geographic Society grant activities are administered by Institute of the North. Alaska in Maps Alaska in Maps is a thematic atlas of Alaska. In contrast to a topographic-type of atlas that emphasizes contour lines and selected settlement features, a thematic map offers maps of special topics. Examples of thematic maps found in "Alaska in Maps" include earthquakes, volcanoes, Native language regions, and health care facilities. " Alaska in Maps" was primarily designed for Alaska middle and high school students. However, it is also a useful atlas for anyone wanting to know about the geography of Alaska.

Hickel Institute of the North specializes in how to utilize and care for the resource-rich commons for the benefit of those living in and on the commons. Areas of special study include Alaska, the new Russia, the many regions of the Arctic and other areas of the world that are lightly populated and wealthy in both human cultures and natural resources. MISSION Its mission combines both economic relevance and geopolitical urgency as most trouble spots around the world are found in regions where the commons has been mismanaged or exploited. top of page WRITINGS AND CURRICULA Walter J. Hickel Crisis in the Commons: the Alaska Solution , articulates how those who live on and from the commons can claim the benefits of their birthright, breaking the colonial syndrome that produces victims, rather than beneficiaries, of the global economy. top of page PROGRAMS The Circumpolar Infrastructure Task Force The Institute of the North initiated and serves as the Secretariat for the Circumpolar Infrastructure Task Force, a joint effort by Arctic governments to encourage transport and telecom links between Arctic nations.

Alaska Region Press Room: Bridging Beringia Upcoming Beringia Workshop to Bring Russian and Alaskan Teachers Together Thousands of years ago scientists theorize that Russia and Alaska were connected by a land bridge called "Beringia." Although that bridge no longer exists, there is still a vital connection between teachers in Russia and Alaska, thanks to a teacher workshop taking place at the Old St. Joseph's Church, June 9-13, in Nome, Alaska. This year's focus is the Beringia region. Russian teachers from rural villages in the Chukotka region and three teachers from Moscow will join teachers from across Alaska including Gambell, Kiana, and Kotzebue. Featured speakers will include Nome's Mayor Leo Rasmussen, who will give the opening remarks. Rasmussen will also present a session called "From Nome to Anadyr /Hope: the Russian Far East Dogsled Race." Some of the other featured speakers will include: Nancy Mendenhall, who will discuss educational challenges in the Beringia area; Charlie Johnson will share information about his Polar Bear research; and Barb Pungowiyi will lead a session that addresses teaching Native ways of knowing. The teachers will also take a field trip to the small village of Teller to get a sense of rural Alaska's geography, vegetation, and climate. The group will conduct a field study in downtown Nome that will allow them to look at the layout of the town, learn mapping skills, and show the teachers the importance of place names in local communities.

Click through the agenda on the web site to download key resources. http://geog.tamu.edu/sarah/australia/australia.htm The planning group for this workshop conducted an analysis of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, the National Council for Social Studies Standards, and the National Geography Standards to find curriculum connections in which Australian content is appropriate. This recognizes that the social studies curriculum is already very full and that integration and fusion is a more feasible implementation policy than attempts to "add on" Australian studies. The planning group identified four core topics: These subject areas address the needs of teachers in multiple grade levels, particularly in courses that feature contemporary world cultures (Texas 6th grade), World History and World Geography Studies, and US History. We hope that you can use these materials in a variety of ways.
