In the race for Mountain View city council, three incumbents faced off against two newcomers
MOUNTAIN VIEW — Lucas Ramírez, Alison Hicks and Ellen Kamei held early leads in the race for three open seats on the city council, early results show.
Mountain View has long been seen as a Silicon Valley beacon for housing construction, leading in office and housing construction among its neighbors in the north side of Santa Clara County. But amid fears of a recession, the looming question now is whether Mountain View can keep up with the housing construction boom while also expanding city services and shaping new neighborhoods.
Kamei, who served as mayor in 2020, said she is running to “continue to bring my collaborative, balanced and pragmatic approach to tackling the city’s most difficult public policy challenges,” which she listed as the housing crisis, transportation and infrastructure needs and mental health. Since joining the council, 20-year-long Mountain View resident Hicks — a city planner by trade — has advocated for more environmental protections and housing construction to deal with the area’s homelessness and affordability crises.

Scientists’ warning of the impacts of climate change on mountainsMountains are highly diverse in areal extent, geological and climatic context, ecosystems and human activity. As such, mountain environments worldwide are particularly sensitive to the effects of anthropogenic climate change (global warming) as a result of their unique heat balance properties and the presence of climatically-sensitive snow, ice, permafrost and ecosystems. Consequently, mountain systems—in particular cryospheric ones—are currently undergoing unprecedented changes in the Anthropocene. This study identifies and discusses four of the major properties of mountains upon which anthropogenic climate change can impact, and indeed is already doing so. These properties are: the changing mountain cryosphere of glaciers and permafrost; mountain hazards and risk; mountain ecosystems and their services; and mountain communities and infrastructure. It is notable that changes in these different mountain properties do not follow a predictable trajectory of evolution in response to anthropogenic climate change. This demonstrates that different elements of mountain systems exhibit different sensitivities to forcing. The interconnections between these different properties highlight that mountains should be considered as integrated biophysical systems, of which human activity is part. Interrelationships between these mountain properties are discussed through a model of mountain socio-biophysical systems, which provides a framework for examining climate impacts and vulnerabilities. Managing the risks associated with ongoing climate change in mountains requires an integrated approach to climate change impacts monitoring and management.

Hometown Alaska: Touring the Alaska Museum of Science and NatureMountain View is known for its diverse community and neighborhood values. It is not just the people that make the community what it is, but the institutions they run, many of whom have been around for a significant amount of time: Clark Middle School, Hula Hands, the Boys & Girls Club, the Red Apple, etc. One less-spoken-of institution that has been a gem in Mountain View is the Alaska Museum of Science and Nature. This week on Hometown Alaska host Justin Williams steps inside and takes a tour to see what it's all about.
