Organizers announce availability of a three-part series of webinar
workshops addressing coastal erosion on the North Slope of Alaska. The
Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) will host the webinars.
This series of webinar-based workshops will include presentations
and discussions of how coastal erosion on the North Slope of Alaska
impacts local communities, the best practices for a long-term observing
(LTO) network that could contribute to community planning and response,
and how citizens can contribute to monitoring erosion along their coast.
General questions for workshop discussions include:
- What are the best practices for a long-term observing network so that
it contributes to community understanding and planned response to
coastal erosion? - What are the best strategies for informing and engaging the community?
