Polar Research Board Open Sessions: Knowledge to Action in the Polar Regions and Polar Updates

This will be a topical session focused on Knowledge to Action in the Polar Regions: Applied Science and Engineering.

"Knowledge to Action" is the transfer of research findings into practice. Invited speakers will provide examples of how knowledge to action can be achieved as it relates to the polar regions, including the development of the South Pole Overland Traverse using the Department of Defense Research and Development framework for delivering capability requirements, NASA’s Technical Readiness Level framework as it applies to the ICESat-2 Mission, the First Nations’ approach to problem solving, and nature-based solutions for coastal resiliency in the Arctic.
