The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) is pleased to
announce the Arctic Research Seminar Series event: "Forty Years of
Change: A Seabird Responds to a Melting Arctic." The event will be held
Wednesday, 26 October 2016 at 12:00-1:00 p.m. EDT in the ARCUS D.C.
office at 1201 New York Avenue, NW Washington D.C. and available online
as a live-stream event to those unable to attend in person.
The ARCUS Arctic Research Seminar Series brings some of the leading
Arctic researchers to Washington, D.C. to share the latest findings and
what they mean for decision-making. These seminars will be of interest
to Federal agency officials, Congressional staff, NGOs, associations,
and the public.
This seminar will be presented by Dr. George Divoky of Friends of Cooper
Island.
Dr. Divoky has studied seabirds in Arctic Alaska since 1970 and has
participated in studies and assessments related to oil and gas
development and regional climate change. Since 1975 he has maintained a
continuing study of Black Guillemots on Cooper Island, Alaska, in the
western Beaufort Sea. The four-decade study is one of the few long-term
seabird studies in the Arctic and its findings on the consequences of
recent snow and sea ice reductions provided some of the first examples
of the biological consequences of climate change. Currently, as Director
of the nonprofit organization Friends of Cooper Island, he is working to
ensure the continuation of research on Cooper Island seabirds in coming
decades, when they will have to deal with the complete disappearance of
summer ice, offshore drilling, increased shipping, and commercial fishing.
This event is a brown-bag lunch that will be held in the ARCUS D.C.
office (1201 New York Avenue, NW Washington D.C. Fourth Floor). Cookies
and beverages will be provided. A live webinar is also available to
those unable to attend in person. Instructions for accessing the webinar
will be sent to 'Webinar Only' registrants prior to the event.
