ACCAP Webinar: Future Projections of Precipitation for Alaska Infrastructure

Speaking: Nancy Fresco, Scenarios Network for Alaska, and Peter Bieniek, International Arctic Research Center

Climate change effects on extreme weather are invalidating old estimates of the likelihood of flood-inducing rain events. With funding and guidance from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, the Scenarios Network of Alaska and Arctic Planning (SNAP) at UAF’s International Arctic Research Center (IARC), with assistance from Neptune, inc. recently updated Alaska-wide precipitation data based on the latest climate change modeling efforts. Join this webinar to learn about the data downscaling and modeling techniques used to apply temporally fine-scale precipitation projections to an online statewide tool designed for and used by engineers.
