As Alaska's remarkably brief fall turns quickly toward winter, the research team for the Arctic Facilities and Infrastructure Environmental Change Risk Index (ERI) project at ADAC invite you to join them for a workshop on addressing the concept of environmental risk as it pertains to critical energy infrastructure in Alaska.
The USCG D17 and Sector Anchorage have tasked the ERI research team with investigating the potential impacts of climate change as it pertains to bulk oil and other infrastructure under regulation 33 CFR 154. Many Alaskan communities have infrastructure that falls under this regulation, infrastructure that is their energy lifeline providing communities with heat and electricity. Our study draws experts from a range of disciplines to help construct an operationally relevant "risk index" to inform and provide decision making support to USCG inspectors and operators.
To this end, the research team is hosting a half-day, virtual (Zoom) event. This event will consist of informational plenary sessions, and the attendees will then participate in short, rapid-fire voting of relevant risks based on individual presentations. Your input and feedback on these risks would be greatly appreciated. Following these individual votes, there will be time for the group to reflect as a whole.
