Canie's was cool....good it was remote. The science behind the link below is sound but it is real easy to mis-interpret and overstate what they are trying to say....(removing a vertical load does make a thrust fault more likely to slip sooner....and a normal fault less likely...removing some volume of Alaskan ice would only slightly advance the time of a thrust EQ. SW Alaska is not a subduction boundary until you get towards Anchorage and west...so I'm not sure what melting ice would do to strike-slip faults..
