Haines Science Center Details
The Haines Science Center's mission is to support the community of the Chilkat Valley by interpreting the science that impacts this region. We sort through the unfolding data and look to ancestral knowledge to facilitate deeper understanding of our unique landscape. We synthesize studies in geology, fishing, recycling, and the changing climate to educate, inform and empower decision making for individuals and institutions.The December 2020 weather event ushered in a new era for Haines residents. Streets turned to waterfalls, homes flooded and slid off their foundations, and a bedrock rupture blasted apart the side of a mountain. Suddenly, our rules changed. Scientific experts were brought in and residents were suddenly learning about geology, hydrology, and tectonics. We saw an opportunity to coalesce incoming information. What if one organization interpreted local scientific information into actionable data? The Haines Science Center (HSC) was born.
