Toward a Strategy for the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, the final report
from the Arctic Research and Monitoring Workshop, held 23 January 2009
and sponsored by the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) and the North
Pacific Research Board (NPRB), is now available for download.
The Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) and the North Pacific Research
Board (NPRB) sponsored a one-day workshop on Arctic Research and
Monitoring with the goal of sharing information and promoting
collaboration among the many entities with increasing activities in
marine research and monitoring in the Alaska maritime Arctic (Chukchi
and Beaufort Seas), including the oil and gas industry, local, state,
and federal agencies, and non-governmental and academic organizations.
This workshop was an initial step by AOOS and NPRB toward the
longer-term development of a more comprehensive monitoring and
assessment plan, through which each participating organization can focus
on projects to meet their particular goals while contributing to a
larger data sharing and integration effort. 145 individuals from more
than 60 organizations attended the workshop.
The report summarizes the presentations and participant input from the
workshop, and a draft was circulated for public review via the
ArcticInfo list serve. The report includes additional analysis by Dr.
Craig Dorman.
