Module II - Blog It!

No matter where you are - we’re glad you’re here!

200,000,000 years ago Pangaea broke up, scattering continents across the globe. One northward veering landmass carried with it the rudimentary stump that would become the Alaska we see today.

20,000 years ago dry land joined Alaska and Asia while an ice sheet covered much of North America creating a formidable obstacle for migratory mammals, including the first Americans. 

Continents, ice sheets, ecosystems and cultures all come and go, but not all on the same time scales. Understanding the relative pace of change for some of Alaska's dynamic natural systems helps us make meaningful connections between processes, places and people. Which is where we'll pick it up in Module III.

Before we move on to Module III, it's time to Blog It!
