    Congratulations to Izzy Spellman, Oliver Brewer, Lief O’Regan, Piper Straub, & Severin Parks on their receipt of an AKES Science Fair Award! Their project titled “True Colors of Insect Outbreaks in the Boreal Forest – Can We Detect Forest Insect Outbreaks in 25 Years of GLOBE Green Down Leaf Color Data Collected by interior Alaska Students?” looked for patterns in 25 years of leaf color data on insect-damaged leaves collected by students in interior Alaska. They found that insect damage is associated with certain leaf colors, and that warm winters tend to precede worse birch leafminer outbreak years.
