C13H:
Understanding the New Arctic: Meeting Societal Needs Through Observing Networks, Indigenous Knowledge, System Science, and Synthesis II

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 34244

Session Description:
The changing Arctic is a new environment of opportunities and challenges. It is attracting increasing interest from the maritime transportation, natural resources, and tourism industries, with implications for cultural transitions, infrastructure, and national security. Arctic research is too often siloed along disciplinary lines, reflecting traditional science education and research practice. There is a growing need for multi-knowledge and interdisciplinary approaches that focus on the linkages between systems, synthesis, and enhanced prediction. At the same time, identifying critical observing needs is required to create value-added products and services for Arctic residents and operators, and to inform decision- and policy-making. This session, organized by the U.S. Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) staff and implementation team leaders, will discuss topics including Arctic system modeling and synthesis, Indigenous ways of knowing and the co-production of knowledge, and the application of Earth observing networks and indicators for delivering information products and societal benefits.
