The articles will run in the Thursday edition of the Fairbanks Daily Newsminer and authorship will alternate weekly between the Cold Climate Research Center and the Northern Alaska Environmental Center FOCUS Fairbanks group. The articles authored by CCHRC will focus primarily on energy and building related themes, while the FOCUS Fairbanks articles will focus on a broader spectrum of sustainability topics in a series called Using Resources Wisely. The articles offered by CCHRC will be written by CCHRC staff along with community members (builders/professionals/scientists) with extensive knowledge and backgrounds in the topics brought forth.
