#asrc

I used to volunteer for these guys cooking meals for people seeking asylum. They’re our local Asylum Seeker Resource Centre here in Melbourne and they do amazing work supporting people in Australia seeking asylum by providing food, housing, health and legal services.

With the current cost of living rising they’re running low on funds, and now fighting to keep their doors open. If you can spare some money, now is the time to help out.

Hey, the asrc does good work, the cost of living crisis has tanked donations and they are in a tough spot.

Twenty one years of helping and advocating for asylum seekers when our government has flatly refused to protect their human rights, they can’t keep going without money so if you can please do donate.

Hello! My name is Roberta Glenn, and I recently graduated from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) with a B.S. in Geography, focusing on landscape analysis and climate change studies. I’m an intern this summer with ASRC Federal and the UAF Geographic Information Network of Alaska (GINA). 

This summer I’m working on identifying satellite products that may be useful for subsistence hunters on the North Slope. Previously, hunters and whalers were only able to get their hands on good and useful satellite data when scientists were in town doing research. In 2013 I interned with the North Slope Borough Wildlife Management Department in early spring when whaling was just getting started, and the sea ice was taking longer than usual to open up a lead. One of my daily tasks was to pull data directly from the National Snow and Ice Data Center and examine the ice conditions to look out for any open leads around Utqiagvik.
