Organizers at the Department of the Interior's Office of Policy Analysis
announce the availability of a webcast seminar entitled "Changing Ice:
Managing the North American Arctic." The event will be held Thursday, 9
April 2015 from 12:00 pm-1:00 pm EST.
Understanding ice changes is critical for supporting community
sustainability, habitat conservation, and resource development in Alaska
and the Arctic as a whole. In this presentation Steve Gray, Director,
USGS Alaska Climate Science Center, will discuss how the USGS Alaska
Climate Science Center (CSC) uses a whole-systems approach linking
glacier retreat and permafrost loss to impacts on ecosystems and the
goods, services, and the amenities they provide. The Alaska CSC is
developing vulnerability assessments, decision-support tools, landscape
scenarios, and other products that have a wide variety of immediate
real-world applications in the face of changes in the Arctic.
The live presentation will be held in the basement cafeteria Rachel
Carson Room of the Main Interior Building, 1849 C St., N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20240.
