Coastal Erosion Workshop for Alaska's North Slope: Monitoring Basics

This series of three workshops will include presentations and discussions of how coastal erosion on the North Slope of Alaska impacts local communities, potential responses to those impacts, related cultural and economic factors, and best practices for a long-term observing (LTO) network that could contribute to community planning and response.

Speakers for this webinar include:

• Orson Smith from AVTEC, University of Alaska Anchorage (retired), speaking on monitoring network fundamentals.
• Nicole Kinsman from Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, speaking on online monitoring tools.

General questions for discussion:
1. What are the best practices for a long-term observing network so that it contributes to community understanding and planned response to coastal erosion?
2. What are the best strategies for informing and engaging the community?
