The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS),is pleased to
announce the fifth Arctic Research Seminar Series event "Some things I
can't explain, or, Why more social science studies are needed to
understand human-environment interactions in the Arctic". The event will
be held in the ARCUS D.C. office at 1201 New York Avenue, NW Washington
D.C. on Tuesday, 13 September 2016 at 12:00-1:00 p.m. EDT.
The ARCUS Arctic Research Seminar Series brings some of the leading
Arctic researchers to Washington, D.C. to share the latest findings and
what they mean for decision-making. These seminars will be of interest
to Federal agency officials, Congressional staff, NGOs, associations,
and the public.
This seminar will be presented by Dr. Henry P. Huntington of Huntington
Consulting.
Seminar Abstract: Why do people move to an eroding village? Why do
fishermen go farther north in the Bering Sea in cold years? Why would
hunters report an ecosystem in trouble when subsistence harvests are up?
And what does AmazonPrime have to do with food security?
Research on human-environment interactions in the Arctic has
demonstrated the strong connections between people and their ecosystems.
But those connections do not always lead to the outcomes one might
expect. In addition to examining the physical and biological aspects of
Arctic change, we need more attention to the social dynamics that shape
human responses to climate and other types of change.
This presentation will review some of the basics of what we know in
these areas, and then discuss how to start studying the things we cannot
yet explain.
This event is a brown-bag lunch that will be held in the ARCUS D.C.
office (1201 New York Avenue, NW Washington D.C. Fourth Floor). Cookies
and beverages will be provided. A live webinar is also available to
those unable to attend in person. Instructions for accessing the webinar
will be sent to 'Webinar Only' registrants prior to the event.
