Understanding ice changes is critical for supporting community sustainability, habitat conservation and resource development in Alaska and the Arctic as a whole. Please join the Office of Policy Analysis on April 9 to learn 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.
