Join the NOAA Library and NOAA's Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program's (GOMO) Arctic Research Program (ARP) for a public webinar about the Arctic Report Card. This meeting is open to the public, and registration is required.

2025 will mark the 20th anniversary of the Arctic Report Card, an annual NOAA product developed in collaboration with leading Arctic researchers and Indigenous experts that summarizes the state of the Arctic ecosystem compared to historical records. This webinar will cover an Arctic Report Card history and feature a panel of experts, each of whom have served as Arctic Report Card authors or editors for 4+ year terms. They will reflect on how Arctic science and ecosystems have evolved over the past 20 years. NOAA’s coordinating editor of the Arctic Report Card will offer a forward-looking perspective, announce exciting new features, and discuss how to engage in the Arctic Report Card process. This webinar will be recorded and posted to the NOAA Library YouTube channel, where it can serve as an educational and outreach resource.

Join for discussion on how engineering research can shape the future of Arctic infrastructure. Panelists Baxter Bond (Alaska Center for Energy and Power), Billy Connor (Alaska University Transportation Center), and Uyemaa Gantulga (George Washington University will share opening remarks, followed by group discussion.

Questions for discussion include the following:

1. What are the most pressing community needs that demand engineering solutions?
2. What are the most significant engineering challenges for arctic infrastructure in your view?
3. How from your perspective and experience can engineering contribute to Arctic communities and ecosystems in a positive way?

Hosted by Xiong (Bill) Yu (Case Western Reserve University) and the CRAFT Research Coordination Network (Co-creating Research for Just Arctic Future Infrastructure Transformations, Resilience, and Adaptation)

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

The webinar will also be streamed on Facebook Live via the CRAFT Network Facebook Group

Rick Thoman will review recent and current climate conditions around Alaska, discuss forecasting tools, and finish up with the Climate Prediction Center’s forecast for January 2025 and the winter season. Join the gathering online to learn what’s happened and what may be in store with Alaska’s seasonal climate.

In June 2024, the research vessel Norseman II was partially-disabled and trapped in sea ice for a two week period offshore the community of Shishmaref in the Bering Strait region of Alaska. The National Weather Service’s Alaska Sea Ice Program supported the United States Coast Guard and United States Fish and Wildlife/United States Geological Survey personnel onboard the vessel with sea ice briefings via daily annotated satellite imagery.

Organizers invite proposals for special sessions at the Eighth International Symposium on Arctic Research (ISAR-8). This meeting will take place 28-31 October 2025 in Hachioji City of Tokyo, Japan.

The scientific program of ISAR-8 consists of Plenary, Regular, and Special sessions. In addition to 10 Regular sessions, proposals for special sessions are now solicited. Sessions with interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary themes as well as those focusing on specific topics are encouraged.

Regular Session topics include:

Atmosphere;
Ocean and sea ice;
Rivers, lakes, permafrost, and snow cover;
Ice sheets, glaciers, and ice cores;
Terrestrial ecosystems;
Marine ecosystems;
Geospace;
Laws, politics, and economy;
Language, culture, and environment; and
Engineering for sustainable development.
The proposers of the session are expected to be the conveners who determine acceptance of individual abstracts (accept/reject), the format of presentations (oral/poster), orders, and the time length of each oral presentation. They are also responsible for facilitating the presentations during the session.

Session proposal deadline: 10 December 2024

Ted Stevens Center Executive Education
https://tedstevensarcticcenter.org/school-for-arctic-and-climate-securi…

In concert with established authorities and directives, the center team is underway in planning and conducting a well-defined academic program that is innovative, with the aim of advancing Arctic and climate security in support of U.S. defense strategy, and more specifically comply with guidance and priorities from Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Hemispheric Affairs, and the Commander of USNORTHCOM. To accomplish the vision of creating a stellar executive education program, the TSC is underway in collaborating with government and civilian institutions to proactively identify the influences of climate change, emerging technologies, and shifting international relations in the Arctic, and how they will impact U.S. national security interests. The education of leaders to help them understand the Arctic security environment directly supports this line of effort.

Hosted in Ottawa, December 9 - 12, 2024, ArcticNet's 5th International Arctic Change Conference (AC2024), a special 20th edition of our Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) is a hub for Arctic and northern research in Canada. The AC2024 brings together researchers from the natural, health, and social sciences to meet the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing Arctic region. This conference will push the boundaries of our collective understanding of the Arctic and strengthen our ability to address the issues of today and tomorrow.

Interdisciplinary cooperation and knowledge sharing, across the Arctic and the North, as well as innovative and evidence-based research, are key in achieving climate change adaptation and proposing sound mitigation strategies. As a hub for Arctic research in Canada, the AC brings together a broad range of research in and about the Arctic and northern regions of Canada and the world. The AC2024 advances our collective understanding with an inclusive view of the North spanning from Inuit Nunangat, across the Canadian territories and provinces, circumpolar Arctic regions, and beyond.
