The Alaska Defense Forum (ADF) addresses the key challenges facing military installations, military families and the communities they call home.

Over the course of two days, defense community leaders and ADF members will gather to hear from senior military officials, key members of our government and the nation’s top defense policy and budget experts, and have the opportunity to engage in conversations that will help define the future of our nation’s national security.

2025 Sea Ice Outlook June Report
(based on May, June, and July data)

The Sea Ice Prediction Network (SIPN) invites you to contribute to the August 2025 Sea Ice Outlook (SIO)—a collaborative, community-driven effort to compare and improve seasonal sea ice forecasts.

Submission Deadline: 6:00 p.m. (AKDT) Friday, 15 August 2025 (Firm)

The Sea Ice Outlook (SIO) offers a platform for researchers and forecasters to share predictions of September Arctic sea ice extent and related variables. Following submission of contributions, key visualizations (including pan-Arctic sea ice forecast figures) are published by month on the SIO website. A post-season report focusing on June-September forecast accuracy and performance compared to the observed minimum will be released after the melt season.

For an overview of the 2025 SIO and detailed instructions for contributions, please visit the Call for Contributions online: https://www.arcus.org/sipn/sea-ice-outlook/2025/call

We encourage all past contributors to submit Outlooks for 2025, and we also hope to see new participants. Please feel free to distribute this announcement to others who might be interested in participating in the SIO. Interested first-time contributors should feel free to reach out to the SIO Team with any questions. We look forward to seeing your predictions!

For radioglaciologists and users of radar sounder data products, please consider registering for the Open Polar Radar (OPR) Hackathon August 2025:

https://forms.gle/tg5AquC1g22sp3vv6

The first two days will be dedicated to training with the OPR toolbox (image browsing, layer tracking, geospatial searches, loading raw data, pulse compression and other common processing steps, SAR processing, 3D imaging, multipass, etc.) and brief project presentations, followed by two days of supported hackathon work. We are planning on two sessions per day to support time zones around the world.

The dates for the meeting are Monday, Aug 11 to Thursday, Aug 14, 2025. The meeting will be hosted on Zoom. Meeting links and information will be sent out after registration closes on July 15. We will try to work with all participants to help setup the OPR toolbox ahead of the Hackathon.

The registration deadline is July 15, 2025.

THE NORTH PACIFIC RESEARCH BOARD (NPRB) is seeking nominations to fill four seats on its Advisory Panel. One designated seat will represent the Gulf of Alaska Region, and three designated seats will represent the Arctic Region. Appointments are for three-year terms, with a maximum of two consecutive terms. The Advisory Panel meets twice each year for 2 days in Anchorage (April and September).

The mission of the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB) is to develop a comprehensive science program that will further understanding of the North Pacific, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean ecosystems, inform effective management of fisheries, and help to sustain and enhance marine resources.

Nomination materials must be received by Friday, August 1, 2025.

ADVISORY PANEL INFO
The NPRB Advisory Panel represents stakeholders, user groups, Alaska Native communities, and other interested groups and communities from the Pacific Arctic, Bering Sea-Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska. The NPRB Advisory Panel advises the Board in achieving its overall mission to improve understanding of marine ecosystems in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, and Arctic and to inform sustainable fisheries management. NPRB Advisory Panel helps shape research and outreach programs, including identification of research priorities, program development, evaluation of communications and outreach, and review of proposals received by the Board.

The Board is committed to incorporating meaningful community involvement throughout its science program, from planning to oversight and review. The Advisory Panel has a significant advice-giving role, with active involvement in defining research questions and highlighting proposals with stakeholder relevance. To this end, nominations are sought from individuals with practical knowledge and experience specific to one or more of the large marine ecosystems in Alaska.

Abstract submission closes on 31 July 2025

Themes and Topics
The CliC OSC 2026 will focus on themes related to The Changing Cryosphere: Science, Impacts, and Adaptation. Themes and topics are outlined here. During abstract submission, you will select the topic most relevant to your abstract.

For the 30th anniversary since the beginning of CliC, this Open Science Conference will contribute to the UN Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences (2025-2034) and prepare the community for the 5th International Polar Year (2032-2033) with a diverse and cross-discipline town hall meeting. This town hall will provide space for the international and interdisciplinary cryospheric community to connect, discuss needs, find synergies, and plan meaningful action.

The conference will also foster discussion around stakeholder engagement with the early career community and produce an edited special issue journal highlighting the resultant new collaborations and scientific advancements.

IARPC has announced that they are now accepting applications for the 2025 IARPC Fellowship for Arctic Community Leaders, a program designed to elevate Arctic voices and place-based knowledge within the research community.

This 18-month fellowship offers a $5,000 stipend and the opportunity for Arctic community leaders to co-lead an IARPC collaboration team or community of practice and gain professional development experience in the federal research landscape.

IARPC is seeking leaders with lived experience in the Arctic who are passionate about collaboration and want to work as boundary spanners between Indigenous peoples, communities, organizations and researchers.

Applications are open now through June 30, 2025.
