Alaska’s year without a summer Ned Rozell

Two-hundred and thirty-six years ago, when General George Washington marched back into New York City as British troops were walking out, a volcano erupted in Iceland. For eight months of 1783, Laki volcano spewed lava and belched noxious fumes into the atmosphere. One-quarter of the residents of Iceland died, and the sulfurrich gases that spread worldwide reflected the sun’s rays, making many places on Earth cooler. Using evidence held in white spruce trees, researchers think the Laki eruption was a catastrophe for northwest Alaska residents, who had no idea why their July turned into November that year. Rosanne D’Arrigo of the tree-ring lab at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in New York recently told the story of Alaska’s year without a summer. She attended the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union last month in Washington, D.C. On a poster in a cavernous meeting hall there, she displayed a photo of tree rings from a white spruce tree from Alaska. Amid a series of dark lines is a faint one that lines up with the year 1783. Tree rings are thick-walled cells that form in conifers late in the growing season. The hard-to-see tree ring in D’Arrigo’s example shows a most unusual year, 1783, amid centuries of normal spruce growth. D’Arrigo, Alaska archaeologist Karen Workman and the late Gordon Jacoby once wrote of a “disaster for northwest Alaska Inuit” caused by the Laki eruption and the cold temperatures that followed. The scientists based their conclusion in large part on cores of wood pulled from white spruce trees at northern treeline.

White spruce living at the treeline in Alaska often preserve past climate clues in their tree rings

James Louis Giddings gathered many of those plugs. In June of 1940, Giddings, an archaeologist and mining engineer educated at UAF, flew from Fairbanks to Allakaket. Once in that small village, he aimed his compass at a mountain pass across the Koyukuk River that would lead him to the headwaters of the Kobuk River. Giddings then started walking. He carried a 40-pound pack and a .22 rifle, along with “a change of heavy underclothes one must wear as mosquito protection.” He lashed together a log raft when he reached the Kobuk River. He floated its length, taking tree cores along the way and stopping at known and possible archaeological sites. At the mouth of the Kobuk, he turned right and traveled up the Noatak River.

When Giddings was finished there, he went on to the Seward Peninsula, not finishing his scientific journey until he walked into the town of Haycock, not far from today’s village of Koyuk. In fall of 1940, Giddings wrote his master’s thesis, detailing his remarkable season of fieldwork and the hundreds of tree cores he acquired. Half a century later, scientists at LamontDoherty used some of Giddings’ samples. With tree-ring records from Giddings and others in Alaska and the real weatherstation data gathered at the University of Alaska and other places, the researchers reconstructed Alaska summer temperatures from the late 1600s to the present. They figured average Alaska temperatures from May to August were about 53 degrees Fahrenheit for most of that time.

In 1783, the May to August average temperature was about 44 degrees. “You have this anomaly that’s off the charts,” D’Arrigo said. To further show the weirdness of 1783, the Lamont-Doherty scientists also cited a book of oral traditions from Natives of northwest Alaska, written by William Oquilluk. In the book, Oquilluk describes four ancient legends, each linked to the nearextinction of everyone living in northwest Alaska. The first two events were too far back for the researchers to imagine what they might have been. The fourth and most recent disaster was the influenza epidemic of 1918 that hit Alaska and the rest of the world so hard. The researchers argued that the third calamity in northwest Alaska was linked to the Iceland eruption. Oquilluk wrote of it as “The Time Summer Time Did Not Come.” That year (perhaps 1783), in the springtime migratory birds had returned to Alaska and all seemed normal, until after June passed. Then, “suddenly it turned into cold weather . . . and people “could not go out hunting and fishing,” Oquilluk wrote. “In a few days, the lakes and rivers, recently thawed, froze over. Warm weather didn’t not return until spring (early April) of the next year,” the Lamont-Doherty scientists wrote in their 1999 paper.

American robins not heading north quite yet Ned Rozell

While walking the streets of Washington, D.C., last month, a pleasant sound stopped me. A male robin was singing, high in a sidewalk sycamore. It was December, months away from when that bird would use the same voice to declare his breeding territory. I wondered why he practiced now, as I stood amid the urban noise and listened to a melody that transported me back to April in Alaska. Later that day, at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, I sat in on a talk by Ruth Oliver, a graduate student at Columbia University who has studied the most common songbird on the continent as it makes its way to Alaska. Oliver traveled to Lesser Slave Lake, a three-hour drive north of Edmonton in Alberta, during the last three springs to learn more about the American robin. Lesser Slave Lake is a popular stopping place for robins that migrate north during springtime. Some of the 320 million robins on the continent spend their summers in the same areas they overwinter, but many head north to make more robins, perhaps for the ample insects and other foods available here in the warm season. Oliver and her co-workers fitted a few migrating robins with GPS backpacks the size of a dime. With those, she could tell where the birds went, as the transmitters sent a

blip to satellites every two days from April to June. Many of the 55 birds went to Alaska for the summer, scattering from north of the Brooks Range to the Kenai Peninsula. Oliver’s research is part of a NASA project headed by Columbia professor and Toolik Field Station regular Natalie Boelman. Researchers are trying to learn how a warmer world affects bears, caribou, wolves, songbirds, and other animals. One of Oliver’s major questions is how robins are adjusting to earlier springs. Researchers with the Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory in Alberta have been keeping tabs on robins and other birds for a long time. Since 1994, robins have been showing up there about five days earlier every decade. But the earlier arrival at the lake has not been steady; during years with late-spring snows, robins arrive later to Lesser Slave Lake. During those big snow years, robins also hang around at Lesser Slave Lake longer, delaying their arrival in Alaska. But when they finally leave the plains and hurdle the Rocky Mountains on their way to Alaska and the Yukon, they “put the pedal to the metal,” Oliver said. “West of the Rockies, they traveled significantly faster — 135 kilometers each day compared to 85 kilometers per day east of the Rockies,” she said. Maybe the bird I heard singing in Washington will be twitching to head north sometime soon. In a few months, that bird may touch down near Lesser Slave Lake. After a

bit of rest, it might then jump into the sky and fly the approximate path of the Alaska Highway into the state, with its millions of acres of intact songbird habitat. Maybe, on some April evening, I’ll hear a robin sing his perfect song from a spruce branch in my backyard, and wonder if we’ve met before.

Feb 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28 @ 10:00am Anchorage Museum (625 C St.)

From fish and fiddleheads to store-bought and shared, what gets plated in Alaska feeds our collective identity as much as it does our individual palates. This exhibition and accompanying series of public programs look at how Alaskans connect and share through food, using themes ranging from recipes and the home kitchen to self-reliance and subsistence. Shifts in innovation, technology, and the North’s physical and cultural landscape flavor the changing story of food culture in Alaska, as told in this exhibition through films, objects, art installations, ephemera -- and food. In-gallery dinner tables provide an interactive environment for learning about how food is produced, preserved and shared within Alaska’s diverse communities in both rural and urban areas. Food-oriented public programming and a book of food essays with companion cookbook are among the ways the What Why How We Eat project connects Alaska food culture with other cultures around the world.
