ArcticNet | ASM 2019 Annual Meeting

Dec 2-5, 2019

The 15th ArcticNet Annual Scientific Meeting is being held December 2-5, 2019 in Halifax, Canada.  Canada’s North is experiencing unprecedented change in its sea and terrestrial ice, permafrost and ecosystems under the triple pressures of climate change, industrialization and modernization. The impacts of these pressures can be seen on food and energy security, shipping, sovereignty, northern community health and well-being, and sustainable development and resource exploitation. All these issues have brought the North to the forefront of national and international agendas.

Interact with scientists working on the NEON program throughout the meeting and learn more about Sustainable Observing: Examining the Logistics and Infrastructure Required for Long-term Research in a Changing Arctic. 

NDP-08 Sustainable Observing: Examining the Logistics and Infrastructure Required for Long-term Research in a Changing Arctic

Tuesday, 3 December - 14:15 to 15:30,  Room 612-613
 
As Canada’s North and the entire Arctic are experiencing unprecedented change, research needs to maximize utilization of existing infrastructure while finding new opportunities to add new infrastructure while building capacity for sustained observations in the future. This session focuses on lessons learned by arctic researchers related to the need to have end-to-end planning for sustainable observing systems and building capacity. The session will focus on successful measures related to logistics, observation systems, data interoperability, and capacity building that can be applied to arctic research projects at all scales. 
 
Foundational to this session will be talks from researchers and organizations with international expertise from Canada and Alaska in long-term arctic research: 
  • Rommel Zulueta, Battelle Research Scientist, National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON): Lessons on logistics planning for sustainable arctic observations. 
  • LeeAnn Fishback, Chair, Canadian Network of Northern Research Operators (CNNRO) and Scientific Coordinator, Churchill Northern Studies Centre (CNSC): Canadian Arctic research support and logistics
  • Peter Pulsifer, Research Scientist, Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA): Building data interoperability into every research project
  • Francis Wiese, Senior Principal, Stantec: Logistics and arctic observing in marine systems
