The Migration in Harmony Research Coordination Network (MiH-RCN) announces a Whale Acoustics Webinar from the Gulf of Alaska. Presented by students from the Mt. Edgecumbe High School in Sitka, Alaska, this webinar will highlight their important contributions to marine mammal research through the

Woods Hole Research Center is now Woodwell Climate Research Center

Climate change is the single greatest challenge of our lifetime, affecting every aspect of life on our planet. For 35 years, the Woods Hole Research Center has brought together renowned scientists and a worldwide network of

The tools and techniques for making monthly and season scale climate forecasts are rapidly changing, with the potential to provide useful forecasts at the month and longer range. We will review recent climate conditions around Alaska, review some forecast tools and finish up the Climate Prediction

BEPSII is an open network for international knowledge exchange related to Biogeochemcial Exchanges Processe at Sea Ice Interface. BEPSII aims to quantify the role of sea ice in polar ecosystem services – from biodiversity impacts to climate change – and communicate these globally-relevant issues

Spring and summer in Interior Alaska is now warmer, and in recent years wetter than in the past, and the impacts of these changes are affecting the lives and livelihoods of Alaskans. Persistent rains keep water levels high of rivers but potentially accelerate permafrost melt. Warmer springs and

Satellite records from the mid 1980s onward provide the opportunity to examine surface water distribution and change in permafrost regions. This is important because the nature of permafrost can create conditions where change is likely to occur but hydrology conditions can be highly variable. We

Hosted by Commonwealth North's Arctic Policy Study Group, the event will explore the future of Arctic Ocean governance, the Central Arctic Oceans Agreement, perspectives on international cooperation, Alaska's role in cooperative efforts, and international fisheries issues that impact Alaska. The

Join the Migration in Harmony Research Coordination Network for a webinar with Dr. Andreas Østhagen on Svalbard hub for Arctic fisheries.

As warming oceans push the range of fisheries further north, new opportunities for Arctic fisheries are emerging. But this opportunity comes with a

We are sorry to announce that the 50th Arctic Workshop that was rescheduled for 29 August – 1 September 2020 has been postponed until next year: 15 – 17 April 2021.
