The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) announces the upcoming webinar, Achievements of the Arctic Research Plan 2017-2021: Accomplishments in Observations. This webinar will take place Monday, 31 January 2022 from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. AKST.

As the Arctic research community transitions to the 2022-2026 Arctic Research Plan, IARPC is reflecting on the achievements of the previous five years. In a three-part webinar series, researchers and community members engaged in Arctic research will present on highlights of their work in observations, human-applied science, and modeling. Join participants as they share accomplishments of their projects under the 2017-2021 Arctic Research Plan and demonstrate the diverse research associated with IARPC.

This first webinar in the three-part series will focus on accomplishments in observations.

Speakers include:

  • Pam Sousanes (National Park Service) will speak on the Park Service's weather and monitoring program within Alaska;
  • Dr. Sandy Starkweather (NOAA/US AON) will share highlights of the U.S. Arctic Observing Network; and
  • Dr. Jackie Grebmeier (University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science), Frank Rack (NSF), and David Allen (NOAA) will speak about the Distributed Biological Observatory and the rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic that saved the long-standing time series.
