Alaska Northern LIghts

Beautiful aurora such as these are caused when energetic particles thrown from the Sun
by solar flares interact with the Earth’s magnetic field.  However, particles of
sufficient energy can also affect the operations of GPS navigation systems and
induce extra currents at ground level to disrupt power grid operations. 
Solar flares also produce X-rays that can black out radio communications systems.

Meetings

Chapter meetings are currently held the first Thursday of each Month from 9am-10am. We are open to professionals all across the state and currently have registered members as north as Fairbanks and as south as Juneau. Given the large geographic area of Alaska, we offer each member the opportunity to attend our sessions virtually.
