The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) and the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) announce a webinar entitled, "SEARCH for Arctic Answers". This webinar will be presented by SEARCH Executive Director, Brendan Kelly, and will take place Tuesday, 25 July 2017.
This webinar will be available online or in-person at the Akasofu Building, Room 407 on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus.
Webinar Summary:
Communities and governments need reliable information to adapt to rapid changes in the Arctic environment. Scientists need to continually advance the body of knowledge and, at the same time, answer immediately practical questions. SEARCH brings together researchers from diverse disciplines and institutions to accelerate cross-discipline syntheses and to make scientific understanding more readily accessible to policymakers and other stakeholders. Knowledge pyramids utilized in the creation of Arctic Answers foster syntheses and broad understanding across sectors and stakeholder groups, including at the policy level. Brendan Kelly, Executive Director of SEARCH, will discuss SEARCH and the Arctic Answers initiative.
Registration is required to attend this webinar.
