PA13D:
Science to Decision Making: Using the Environmental Intelligence Framework to Constrain the Arctic Carbon Budget Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 24110

Session Description:
Traditionally, the scientific process is often not aligned with decision-maker needs. Environmental Intelligence (EI) aims to resolve this disconnect by facilitating rapid delivery of essential information needed by decision makers faced with rapid environmental change. The EI framework is structured to integrate observations, modeling, and data efforts to provide a holistic, cross-cutting view that is central to decision support. As a case study, the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee EI Team is facilitating the development of a comprehensive Arctic carbon budget leading to an improved understanding of Arctic carbon cycling. The carbon focus was identified in light of a diverse set of issues including but not limited to permafrost thaw, ocean acidification, the reduction in sea ice cover, and increased frequency of high-latitude wildfires. This session aims to engage a broad spectrum of Arctic carbon-cycle researchers that can integrate their work to inform carbon-related policy on regional to national scales.
