#Introduction time: I'm Rick. I've been fascinated by #Arctic and #boreal #weather, #climate and #cultures for more than 50 years. I've worked as a weather & climate professional for 40 years in private, public & academic spheres. I've been fortunate to live most of my life in #Alaska, and most of that time on Lower Tanana Dene lands near Fairbanks. Also, I have a big interest in Alaska Indigenous languages and will support/promote at every opportunity. I'm strongly pro-kindness and anti-troll.
