Speaker: Sheanna Steingass, Marine Mammal Program Leader, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Courtesy Faculty, OSU Fisheries and Wildlife.

One Health’ is the concept that the health of humans, wildlife, and the environment are intertwined. This ideology is nowhere more apparent than in

Three shorter talks this week:

- Samira Samini (University of Calgary) “Meltwater Penetration Through Temperate Ice Layers in the Percolation Ice Zone at Dye-2, Greenland Ice Sheet”
- Sammie Buzzard (Ice and Climate Group, Georgia Tech) “A 3-D Model for Ice Shelf Hydrology”
- Keir Nichols

The Arctic is experiencing record heat and wildfires are ramping up across the global north. New research shows northern forest fire frequency and severity are rapidly increasing, releasing large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and worsening climate feedback loops. WHRC scientist Dr. Brendan

In 2009, Commonwealth North called for the necessary infrastructure investments to allow increased human activity in the Arctic to occur safely and efficiently and to increase the U.S. Coast Guard's presence in the region, facilitated by the building of Polar Class icebreakers. Progress has been

The Bering Sea is undergoing rapid unprecedented change. Elders across the region have reported changes in sea ice quality and timing for decades. Sea ice extent in the late winters of 2018 and 2019 were by far the lowest recorded since satellite monitoring began in 1978. And even though sea ice and

During the summer of 2020 ACCAP and the Alaska Fire Science Consortium hosted two Ernest F. Hollings scholars for the summer internships. Because of COVID-19 their internships were remote. During this webinar the scholars will present their summer’s work.

The Arctic and Antarctic regions continue to undergo dramatic change with global political, economic, social, cultural, scientific, environmental, and security implications.

The Wilson Center's Polar Institute will host its second edition of the Polar Week, to explore, analyze, discuss, and

In a two part webinar, work on detecting and projecting changes in extreme temperature events over Alaska will be paired with a presentation on attributing the role of anthropogenic climate change in extreme events in Alaska.

*COVID-19 UPDATE: Due to the international updates related to COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 15th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC) and the 5th Year of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) meeting in Hobart, Tasmania from July 29-31

UPDATE (June 11, 2020):

We are excited to announce that AGU20 will be mostly virtual. “Mostly” because if science and health professionals tell us it is safe for groups to convene, AGU would like to host a regional gathering in San Francisco. If we decide that is feasible, we will let you

The Sea Ice Prediction Network – Phase 2 (SIPN2) announces an open webinar entitled, Machine Learning—Challenges and Opportunities for Applications in Sea Ice Prediction.

This webinar will focus on the use of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, on how such approaches can be applied in

Brett Veerhusen, founder of Ocean Strategies, will share case studies and lessons learned during the Covid-19 pandemic as he helped lead a coalition of U.S. fisheries, seafood and disease experts to develop rigorous health and safety standards to protect vulnerable Alaskan communities and essential

Christina Hulbe will present for the whole Aotearoa New Zealand RIS programme team.

Please register in advance for the seminars. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the seminar.

The seminar will also be available afterwards on the

The Juneau National Weather Service Forecast office remotely hosted two NOAA Hollings Scholars during the summer of 2020. This webinar will cover the work of those two scholars.

Speaker: Brennan Dettmann – Using R and python to analyze the relationship between sustained wind speed, wind

*Update from the organizers: The SCAR COMNAP 2020 Local Organising Committee, in consultation with the SCAR and COMNAP Executive Committees have decided to cancel SCAR COMNAP 2020 in light of the global Coronavirus situation. The Committee has given due consideration to local Tasmanian and

The Caleb Lumen Pungowiyi Scholars Program announces a call for applications for the 2020 Fall semester. The Caleb Scholars Program is available to students from Norton Sound, Northwest Arctic, and Arctic Slope regions and applicants must be pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in

The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) invites comments on the next Arctic Research Plan.

IARPC is initiating development of the next Arctic Research Plan, as called for in the Arctic Research Policy Act (ARPA) of 1984 (15 U.S.C. 4108). The Plan aims to strengthen interagency

SCAR’s Open Science Conferences have been a focal point for the Antarctic research community for over fifteen years. Through SCAR 2020 Online we are excited to present many of the highlights of the science we had originally planned to bring to you at the Hobart OSC, which was sadly cancelled due to

The Arctic Policy Study Group meets weekly on Wednesdays at 8 a.m. (AKDT) throughout the summer and early fall. Please join to explore the issues critical to the region and to the state of Alaska.

The program is free of charge but please register to receive login details.

The International Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) announces a National Science Foundation Arctic Program Manager Chat presenting an August update of their COVID-19 response. This webinar will take place on 5 August 2020 at 2:00 p.m. EDT (10:00 a.m. AKDT).
