The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) will host a
webinar entitled "Arctic 2020: Building a Sustained Observing System" on
Tuesday, 28 June 2016 from 10:00-11:00 am AKDT. The Speaker will
be Jeremy Mathis, Director NOAA Arctic Research Program (ARP).
Webinar Summary: With critical past, and potential future environmental
changes affecting Alaska and the Arctic Region, the United States needs
to rapidly expand long-term observing of the ice and marine environment
across the greater Arctic Ocean Basin, as well as conditions across the
state of Alaska. This will allow us to better monitor changes across the
region, and support stakeholders with improving prediction capabilities
for weather, marine ecosystems, sea-ice, and climate.
Participation is available online or in person at the University of
Alaska Fairbanks, Akasofu Building, Room 407.

- Meeting Announcement
Rapid Arctic Transitions due to Infrastructure and Climate (RATIC)
19 June 2016
Potsdam, Germany
Organizers announce the "Rapid Arctic Transitions due to Infrastructure
and Climate" (RATIC) meeting will take place prior to the 11th
International Conference on Permafrost (EICOP) on 19 June, 2016 from
13:00-15:00 in Potsdam, Germany. The specific location for the meeting
is Telegrafenberg, A 43.14473 Potsdam, Room A43-KR.
RATIC is a new initiative organized through the Terrestrial, Cryosphere,
and Social & Human working groups of the International Arctic Science
Committee (IASC). It is a forum that addresses the cumulative effects of
infrastructure and climate change. A full description of RATIC and goals
can be found in the RATIC white paper presented at the Arctic Science
Summit Week in Fairbanks, Alaska (ASSW 2016):
http://tinyurl.com/RATICWhitePaper-ICARPIII.
The organizers of RATIC decided to meet informally prior to the 11th
International Conference on Permafrost (EICOP) because the meeting place
in Potsdam is rather easily accessible to European members of RATIC and
to take advantage of this gathering of the world*s permafrost experts to
inform them of RATIC and invite them to participate in this new
initiative.
The intent of this informal meeting is to communicate progress on RATIC
since the Third International Conference on Arctic Research Planning
(ICARP III) at ASSW 2015 in Yohama, Japan, and to begin organization of
a larger meeting and session during Arctic Science Summit Week 2017 in
Prague. Although permafrost is a major unifying theme within RATIC, most
of the members of RATIC are not permafrost scientists and will not be at
EICOP. Consequently, we arranged a rather small meeting room. However,
if you are interested in the topics discussed for RATIC, you are welcome
and invited to the meeting at Telegrafenberg, Room A43-KR, Sunday, 13
June, 13:00-15:00. Please plan to help us develop the permafrost themes
of RATIC and the next meeting in Prague.
