There is a common way of describing the Arctic – the region, its people and resources – in terms of rapid change and constant transformation. Climate change, scramble for the world’s diminishing natural resources and the rather newly emerged concern for local cultures and knowledge, among others

An informational webinar for the 2019-20 PolarTREC season will be held on Wednesday, 29 August 2018 at 2:00pm AKDT (3pm PDT, 4pm MDT, 5pm CDT, 6pm EDT) for teachers, informal science educators and researchers. The archived presentation will be posted with current updates and information about the

Climate Seminar 8 of 8:

Abstract:
New observations and new research have increased our understanding of past, current, and future climate change. The Fourth National Climate Assessment confirms prior assessments in concluding that the climate on our planet, including the United States

This conference aims to facilitate scientific exchange between early-career researchers (ECRs) from a broad range of disciplines working with sea-level change. The conference will include two days of oral and poster presentations by ECRs, invited keynote lectures, a one day field excursion to the

Climate Seminar 7 of 8: Title: Tidings of the Tides

Abstract:
Human activities are a significant contributor to the rise in global sea levels, which have risen about 7-8 inches since 1900 with about 3 of those inches occurring since 1993. By 2100, global sea levels are very likely to rise

PolarTREC teacher Lauren Neitzke Adamo along with researchers Dr. Neal Iverson and Dr. Luke Zoet will be live from the mountains of Switzerland discussing their work on Sliding Glaciers. Read more about their research and what Lauren is learning [here](https://www.polartrec.com/expeditions/sliding

As forests grow, the trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and store it within their growing biomass (trunk, branches, leaves and root systems). A “forest carbon offset,” is a metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)—the emission of which is avoided or newly stored—that

The tools and techniques for making monthly and season scale climate forecasts are rapidly changing, with the potential to provide useful forecasts at the month and longer range. We will review recent climate conditions around Alaska, review some forecast tools and finish up the Climate Prediction

Climate Series, Seminar 6 of 8:

Abstract:
Earth's climate system is highly interconnected, meaning that changes to the global climate influence the United States climatically and economically. In much the same way as European and Asian financial markets affect the U.S. economy, changes

This is a 4-day symposium designed to bring scientists and engineers together to solve polar engineering problems.

The Forum will consist of a single stream with encouragement for discussion and questions. Sessions will be organized around the following five themes:

- Autonomous observing
-
