In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) unveiled a set of “Big Ideas,” 10 bold, long-term research and process ideas that identify areas for future investment at the frontiers of science and engineering (see https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/index.jsp). The Big Ideas

Human migration is projected as one of the greatest adverse impacts of climate change with future flows of climate migrants, also referred to as climate refugees, predicted at 200 million by 2050 (IPCC 2006).To address this intense and complex climate change impact, the Belmont Forum is excited to

Due to the uncertainty of Covid-19 situation, we have decided to postpone the “2nd Edition of World Congress on Geology & Earth Science” from July to November 12-14, 2020 at Osaka, Japan.

The decision has been taken in the interests of public safety and to help prevent the spread of the

Forecasters routinely monitor total precipitable water (TPW) in the atmosphere via the NOAA operational blended TPW product. A new Advected Layer Precipitable Water (ALPW) product provides a vertical dimension and depicts long-fetch flows of moisture which enhance flood events. How these products

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”

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.
