Arctic360’s Annual Event brings together Northern and Indigenous governments, institutions, and corporations; global finance; state leaders; mining, innovation, and other industry leaders; and Arctic experts from Canada and around the circumpolar North to advance the conversation and foster action for building a sustainable, peaceful, and prosperous Arctic region.

During this meeting, Committee members will review the charge to the Committee and the Committee’s activities to date and will welcome comments and input on envisioned science directions and research cruises in the Arctic Ocean for the next 30 years, on existing and future gaps in our ability to address these questions, and on critically needed science enabling capabilities of federal vessels in the Arctic Ocean.

This in-person meeting will take place 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. AKT in the Adventure Room at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage, Alaska in conjunction with the Alaska Marine Science Symposium.

This ACCAP webinar will review these highlights of the 2024 Report Card with reports from several essay authors. The Arctic Report Card annually updates the state of the Arctic climate and the ways the changing Arctic is impacting people. This year’s Report Card includes an essay on the status of sea ice in 2024 and an essay on carbon cycling, showing that in conjunction with wildfire, Arctic tundra regions have shifted to a carbon dioxide source.

The Arctic Report Card is supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with international author teams and released at the December meeting of the American Geophysical Union.

The challenges of today go beyond deadlines decided by governments, territorial claims of oceans and lands, or borders drawn on a map. Addressing global issues requires collaborative efforts and swift decision-making. Dismantling the barriers between science, business, and policy is necessary to deepen communication and enhance our understanding of the pan-Arctic ecosystem. Modern challenges, such as the impacts of climate change, fostering sustainable development, and navigating political tensions, are deeply interconnected. Whilst the financial, societal, and environmental costs of the green transition will not be fairly distributed worldwide, the Arctic is part of the solution.

The Alaska Marine Science Symposium (AMSS), Alaska’s premier marine research conference, has been bringing together scientists, educators, resource managers, students, and interested public for over twenty years to discuss the latest marine research being conducted in Alaskan waters. Over 700 people attend this conference held annually during the month of January. Each day of the conference highlights important Alaskan marine ecosystems: Gulf of Alaska (Tuesday), Arctic (Wednesday), and the Bering Sea & Aleutian Islands (Thursday). Research topics discussed range from ocean physics, fishes and invertebrates, seabirds, marine mammals, to local traditional knowledge. Since its inception, NPRB has been a proud sponsor and one of the leading organizers of AMSS.

Event Description
Each year, our data curation and outreach teams offer hands-on workshops both in Santa Barbara, CA, and virtually. We are excited to announce the dates for our 2025 data science training workshops and invite applicants for our first in-person course, "Fundamentals of Qualitative and Quantitative Data Management for Arctic Research." This course will be held at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) in Santa Barbara, CA, from January 27-31, 2025.

This course is designed to equip Arctic researchers, this workshop provides an introduction to programming in R, an overview of reproducible and ethical research practices, qualitative data management, and more. Limited travel support is available for in-person participants. Visit link to application: https://forms.gle/k8MwmDPocFiQMCH86

The inaugural Arctic Youth Conference (AYC), under the Norwegian Chairship of the Arctic Council (2023-2025), is a platform for Arctic youth to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the rapidly changing Arctic region. Born out of the Chairship's commitment to youth empowerment, the AYC is designed to break away from tokenism, ensuring the involvement of Arctic youth in shaping and executing the conference.

Conference topics
Youth Leadership in the Arctic
Preservation of Indigenous Culture and Identity
Young Researchers and Knowledge Holders in Arctic Science: Co-development of Knowledge
Preparedness and Resilience
Mental Wellbeing

This presentation highlights innovative satellite imagery products for Alaska, specifically for detecting sea spray, blowing snow, and water vapor. Using newly developed RGB combinations applied to both GOES and JPSS satellites, these tools improve forecasters’ ability to diagnose otherwise difficult to detect features. These imagery products are already available for use in operations, supporting improved forecasting and decision-making.

Co-hosted by the Field Operations, Marine Ecosystems, Data Management, and Sea Ice Communities of Practice, the annual post-field season meeting is open to federal and non-federal partners, researchers, local and Indigenous community members, and anyone else interested in the 2024 research season. The meeting will include lightning-talk presentations from principal investigators, community observers, graduate students and early-career researchers who participated in research expeditions in Alaska and Arctic waters during the 2024 field season, followed by group discussion.

Join for an overview of the Alaska’s Changing Environment 2.0 publication, featuring speakers on climate, salmon, and Arctic Indigenous observations. The Alaska’s Changing Environment publication is a collaboration between the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy and the International Arctic Research Center. The publication shares observations of physical and biological change in and around Alaska. This year’s report features contributions from nearly 40 experts.
