- Pacific Arctic Group Spring Meeting
13 March 2016
9:00 am-5:00 pm AKDT
Gruening 306
The Pacific Arctic Group (PAG) is a group of institutes and individuals
having a Pacific perspective on Arctic science. Organized under the
International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), the PAG has as its
mission to serve as a Pacific Arctic regional partnership to plan,
coordinate, and collaborate on science activities of mutual interest.
The four PAG principle science themes are climate, contaminants, human
dimensions and structure, and function of Arctic ecosystems.
This meeting will focus on 'business' matters as well as cover updates
of research plans for 2016 field season.

- MOSAiC Town Hall
13 March 2016
3:00-5:00 pm AKDT
Gruening 409
The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory of the Study of Arctic
Climate (MOSAiC) is an international, interdisciplinary initiative
organized around a year-long drifting constellation of coupled system
observations in the Central Arctic (2019-2020). The ultimate goal is to
improve understanding of coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean-ecosystem
processes in the Central Arctic to support improved sea-ice forecasting,
regional weather forecasting, and climate prediction.
A MOSAiC Town Hall meeting will be held at Arctic Science Summit Week,
on 13 March 2016 at 3:00-5:00 pm in Gruening 409. This town hall meeting
will provide a brief overview of MOSAiC and introduce the new MOSAiC
Scientific Implementation Plan. This will include information on
logistical support for the initiative and describe pathways for
scientific involvement by the international community. An open
discussion will follow. The goal for this town hall is to facilitate
international coordination on science, infrastructure, logistics, and
support for MOSAiC.

5:00-6:00 pm AKDT
Irving 336
The Ocean Acidification Research Center (OARC) at the University
of Alaska Fairbanks would like to invite you to an Open House
during Arctic Science Summit Week.
OARC has been monitoring the effects, intensity and duration of ocean
acidification in Alaska’s waters since 2008. OARC currently maintains
the Alaska Ocean Acidification Mooring Network and participates on
research cruises in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, and the Arctic
Ocean. OARC also collaborates with communities, schools, and industries
in Alaska to help better understand ocean acidification. OARC will offer
demonstrations of their analytical instrumentation, autonomous
equipment, and shipboard measurements. Snacks and refreshments will be
provided.
