Abstract

The recent decade has seen Arctic extreme events in climate and ecosystems including events beyond previous records. Such new extremes include Greenland ice mass loss, sea ice as thin and mobile, coastal erosion, springtime snow loss, permafrost thaw, wildfires, and bottom to top ecosystem reorganizations, a consilience of change. One cause for such new events is due to natural interannual variability in a wavy tropospheric jet stream and polar vortex displacements, interacting with ongoing Arctic changes. The Bering Sea in 2018 and 2019 were examples. Changes in frequency of extreme climate/weather events combine with the life history of Arctic species to cause potential major impacts.

ICIMOD's Cryosphere Forum 2021 will take place 20-23 September, 2021 online via MS Teams.

In the context of sparse permafrost studies in the Hindu Kush Himalaya and significant gaps in our understanding of distribution, thermal state, organic content, and mass dynamics, we are collaborating with Tribhuvan University (TU) to organise this forum on permafrost. As a follow up response to recommendations made during the session on permafrost degradation and GHG emissions during International forum on cryosphere and society: The voice of the Hindu Kush Himalaya, the forum will bring together regional and global experts to exchange knowledge on the region’s permafrost and explore avenues for research collaboration. The forum will also raise awareness among policymakers on the implications of a changing permafrost for livelihoods, hydrological flows, infrastructure, and ecosystems.

Objectives

• Share existing knowledge related to permafrost in the HKH and learn about permafrost related issues in other regions
• Discuss approaches and methods for permafrost monitoring and disseminate such information to the scientific community in the HKH and among the Regional Member Countries (RMCs)
• Build capacities of young researchers in the field
• Establish a network with other interested institutions to collaborate on future permafrost monitoring and analysis
• Develop efficient communication between knowledge producers and stakeholders to identify needs and directly respond to identified gaps in permafrost research

Expected outputs and outcomes

• A brief synthesis report based on the discussions and presentations on the status of permafrost research in the HKH, knowledge gaps, and further investments necessary
• Potential collaborations between participants on future research projects
• Develop the basis for a permafrost working group in the region that can address pressing issues and act as a platform for exchange. This will include both experts on permafrost as well as policy makers and other decision makers from the region.

Target audience

The target audience is the cryosphere research community in the region, including those potentially planning to work on permafrost, as well as the global permafrost research community who can provide insights and/or may have interest in permafrost in the region. Through the workshop, we hope to address research methods, gaps in research, and identify future paths for research.

Call for abstracts

The organisers of the forum invite permafrost researchers to submit abstracts or posters for presentation on any of these topics:

• Remote sensing, rock glaciers, and hazards
• Field investigations of permafrost
• Modelling permafrost
• Climate change and permafrost: Impact on livelihoods and infrastructure
• Ecosystems and permafrost
• Hydrological regime and permafrost

Abstracts must be submitted by 5:00 pm NPT (UTC+5:45), 3:15 am AKDT, 7:15 am EDT, 3 September 2021.

Abstract

The Arctic Council Framework for Action on Black Carbon andMethane Emissions Reductions of 2015 calls for Arctic Monitoring and AssessmentProgram (AMAP) reports every 4 years that update progress on understanding the budgets, trends, and impacts on air quality, human health and ecosystems of short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs). Unlike for the 2015 AMAP reports, the 2021AMAP report covers all SLCFs together; methane, tropospheric ozone, and aerosols including black carbon, dust, volcanic ash and sulphate. Understanding the net impacts on Arctic climate and air quality of these SLCFs is complex due to their varied contributions to the energy budget and due to possible feedbacks with natural emissions and chemistry. A particular issue explored by this report is the tradeoff between air quality improvements and radiative forcing. This presentation will highlight some of the interesting conclusions of the 2021 AMAP report.

Abstract

Changing climate, shifting oceanographic conditions, and loss of seasonal sea ice have sparked significant concern for cascading biological consequences that can impact the overall structure and functioning of the Arctic ecosystem. The Ecosystems and Fisheries Oceanography (EcoFOCI) Program at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center has been conducting process research and long-term monitoring in the High Arctic for over 25 years using repeat, ship-based sampling, oceanographic mooring arrays, advanced tech platforms, and a suite of modeling approaches to understand climate impacts on high Arctic ecosystems. The suite of physical and biological data made available from these efforts provide historical context and a platform from which the emergent, rapid changes that are occurring in the arctic may be evaluated. Comparisons with historical measurements reveal large-scale changes in ice, ocean heating, transport and flow, species composition (phytoplankton, zooplankton, fishes, invertebrates), species distribution, seasonal phenology, and food web dynamics. This improved understanding of changes to whole ecosystem dynamics is then applied to fisheries and protected species resource management in support of the blue economy (e.g., energy, transport, tourism), and the sustainable use of ocean resources.

She works at the US National Marine Fisheries Service/Alaska Fisheries Science Center linking fish early life history ecology to recruitment dynamics and ecosystem functioning in Alaska. She has a deep interest in the changing arctic ecosystem, and has worked to understand the mechanisms by which shifts in climate and oceanography influence fish distribution, trophic dynamics, population variability, and fishery outcomes. Janet uses this mechanistic understanding to develop indicators that can be used in stock assessments, forecasting, and Ecosystem Based Fishery Management decision making.

The conference has been postponed to 11-14 May 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (This conference was originally scheduled to take place 14-18 September 2020, then 16-21 May 2021, followed by 13-17 September 2021, and now moved to 11-14 May 2022.

The symposium provides a platform for the exchange of current applied research and best practices, the presentation of new technology and further innovation, and the advancement of international cooperation in the circumpolar regions of the world. We look to build on the more than 100 participants and the record 50% attendance by students and early career researchers at the 15th ICRSS!

This symposium deals specifically with remote sensing applications in the polar environments, both Arctic and Antarctic. Earth’s Polar Regions feature cold-climate environments characterized by unique landscapes, biota, and processes. Many of these features and dynamics are Cryosphere-driven and either are already subject to or have the potential for fundamental and rapid changes in a warming world. Earth observation technologies provide crucial tools to understand and quantify these changes.

This symposium will be of interest to scientists, scholars, and industry and government professionals involved in studying and quantifying Arctic and Antarctic Change, renewable and non-renewable resource management, and development of new technologies and methods targeting remote sensing observations of polar environments. The symposium will provide a platform for the exchange of current applied research and best practices, the presentation of new technology and further innovation, and the advancement of international co-operation in the circumpolar regions of the world.

The theme of the 16th ICRSS is Convergence at the Poles – Addressing urgent research questions and management needs through remote sensing in the Arctic and Antarctic.

The 16th ICRSS is being hosted at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Oral presentations will take place in the Wood Center Ballroom and various conference activities will be scattered through the greater University and Fairbanks community.

Update: While we originally planned to host the meeting in a hybrid format, we have come to the difficult decision of moving this year’s PALSEA-SERCE meeting to completely online. With the rapidly changing COVID situation, a number of universities and states becoming more restrictive everyday, and fewer people able to participate in person we found it prudent to switch the 2021 PALSEA-SERCE meeting from a hybrid meeting to all online. As a result of this change we have modified the schedule slightly to bleed into a 4th day (Thursday, September 16th) while shortening the events each day.

This meeting will focus on developing a better understanding of the physical processes that drive ice sheet collapse and solid earth deformation. These processes are highly uncertain due to a lack of observational constraints, yet they are the dominant drivers for local sea level change. Overcoming this uncertainty requires drawing from observations and expertise from a variety of fields complementary to PALSEA (Paleo Constraints on Sea Level Rise) and SERCE (Solid Earth Response and Influence on Cryospheric Evolution) including rheology, hydrology, glaciology, and geodesy. In this meeting, we aim to bring empiricists and modelers from the sea level and ice sheet communities together in order to unify solid Earth deformation and ice sheet evolution across time and spatial scales. Pairing our improved understanding of physical processes with enhanced paleo datasets will allow us to narrow in on ice sheet contributions to past and future sea level rise.

Abstract submissions and registration are due on July 15th. Abstract selection and a full agenda will be announced on August 1st to allow sufficient time to plan travel for those who plan to do so.

Abstract

Climate change is expected to lead to substantial changes in the Gulf of Alaska, with some severe impacts already occurring. Fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska and the fishing communities that depend on them are experiencing significant changes in their ecosystems and are at high risk from the continued effects of climate change. Economists and social scientists at NOAA Fisheries Alaska Fisheries Science Center are examining fleet dynamics, community impacts, and adaptation potential in Gulf of Alaska fishing communities associated with climate change as part of an interdisciplinary project called Gulf of Alaska Climate Integrated Modeling (GOA-CLIM). This presentation focuses on the research that is being conducted to understand the adaptation component of the project " what tools fishermen and fishing communities have and need to adapt to these new challenges. We discuss our interdisciplinary approach to conducting this research and preliminary findings about the intersection of science, communication, and decision-making around climate change.
