From the air, Wainwright, Alaska, looks like a perfectly stable band of homes and roads between the Chukchi Sea and a vast, flat tundra. But just below the surface, the frozen ground that this town was built on contains large bodies of ice. Along the eroding coastal bluffs, that hidden ice is becoming exposed and literally melting away. This is more than a landscape change. When ice within frozen ground, known as permafrost, melts, roads can sink, buildings can tilt, pipelines can crack and leak, and shorelines can retreat, leaving homes precariously close to the ocean’s edge. A study in 2025 estimated that permafrost thaw could cost Alaska US$37 billion to $51 billion just in building and road damage. As a civil engineer, I have spent the past decade studying how permafrost and infrastructure respond as Arctic temperatures rise two to three times faster than the global average. A regional permafrost map alone cannot tell a builder how a particular foundation or road will survive as temperatures rise. Engineers need methods that can help them see beneath the surface and find the weaknesses. Using drones and digital twin technology, my colleagues and I have been developing those techniques. When frozen...

A soldier rescued after a catastrophic accident during naval exercises in the Mangystau region remains in stable but serious condition, the regional health department reported. The survivor is currently receiving medical care at the regional multidisciplinary hospital under constant physician supervision. The incident occurred on September 24 during a training mission on the Caspian coast. According to the Ministry of Defense, a sudden deterioration in weather and strengthening winds swept 19 personnel into the sea. According to most recent reports, 12 soldiers were confirmed dead, three were rescued, and search operations continue for the remaining missing personnel.
