SUMMARY:Uplifting Indigenous Knowledge through the Tamamta program
DESCRIPTION:The International Arctic Research Center and the College of Rural and Community Development co-host a virtual seminar series called A Place for Knowledge Exchange. March’s conversation is with Sonia Natalie Ibarra and Craig Chythlook on how the Tamamta program at the UAF College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences uplifts Indigenous Knowledge. Ibarra is Tamamta’s Program Coordinator and Postdoctoral Fellow while Chythlook is a Tamamta Fellow.  \n\n\n\nSpeaker bios:Dr. Sonia Natalie Ibarra Marquez is Apache\, Caxcan\, Mexican\, Latina and grew up in the traditional territories of the Nomlaki people in Northern California. She obtained her bachelors in Marine Biology at Humboldt State University in 2008 with minors in SCUBA diving. Between her bachelors and PhD\, she worked as a scientific diver and field researcher in the Philippines\, the U.S. Virgin Islands\, Belize\, and the southern California Channel Islands. She received her Fisheries PhD from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2021\, where she received two prestigious NSF awards (GRFP & IGERT). Her Phd work (2012-2021) focused on co-creating a project with Tribes and Indigenous youth in Southeast Alaska to weave Indigenous and Western knowledge systems and document a holistic picture of the deep relationship between Indigenous people\, sea otters\, and shellfish. She is currently the Tamamta Program Coordinator and Postdoctoral Fellow. \n\n\n\nCraig Chythlook is Yup’ik\, originally from the Bristol Bay region in southwest Alaska. Craig’s parents are Joe and Molly Chythlook from Dillingham\, AK. Craig has spent his life fishing for salmon on the waters of Bristol Bay. Craig’s current work is looking at what evaluation criteria are used to measure success while observing salmon\, salmon management\, and how to utilize Indigenous values and place-based knowledge into resource management decision-making. Craig graduated from the University of Alaska Fairbanks with a business administration degree and a minor in rural development. While attending UAF\, Craig spent three and a half years participating in undergraduate research studying how better access to water utility services impact subsistence activities. Craig’s research interests include how the Bristol Bay communities can better include Indigenous and place-based knowledge into state and federal decision-making spaces\, regarding salmon/resource management. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout A Place for Knowledge Exchange \n\n\n\nThe A Place for Knowledge Exchange seminar series provides monthly conversations about collaborative approaches to research\, education and real-life community-based practices in rural Alaska. As part of the series\, CRCD and IARC hold quarterly collaboration brunches for faculty interested in building stronger ties between the two organizations. Save the date for IARC’s first brunch on April 5 from 10 am to noon. \n\n\n\nThe seminar and brunches are being facilitated by: \n\n\n\n\nJosie Sam\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Alaska Native Studies and Rural Development and International Arctic Research Center\n\n\n\nJessica Black\, Associate Vice Chancellor for Rural\, Community and Native Education\n\n\n\nSonta Roach\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Alaska Native Studies and Rural Development\n\n\n\nMargaret Rudolf\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, International Arctic Research Center

SUMMARY:Cryomobilities: Ship traffic in the icy waters of the Bering Strait region
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Greta Ferloni\, Durham University\, UK \n\n\n\nIn 2022\, Greta spent six months at IARC\, analyzing ship data from the Arctic Council’s PAME ASTD dataset as part of her PhD. Greta’s work led to the development of an automated standalone open-source Python script to clean and process AIS data from the PAME database.  \n\n\n\nUsing this data\, findings indicate that vessel traffic has been increasing in the Bering Strait region. Importantly\, vessel activity in higher sea-ice concentrations is increasing at a greater rate than vessel activity in areas of open water. Roughly one third of the increased pack-ice traffic is attributable to icebreakers along the Russian coast. \n\n\n\nWatch the presentation  (passcode: a=2?9mZ4)

SUMMARY:Warming of the Chukchi slope through the Barrow Canyon outflow in winter 2016-2017
DESCRIPTION:Seminar by visiting scientist Satoshi Kimura\, a physical oceanographer at JAMSTEC Arctic Ocean and Climate System Research Group. The talk title is\, The warming of the Chukchi slope through the Barrow Canyon outflow in the 2016-2017 winter. \nABSTRACT: While a substantial portion of the Pacific-origin waters flows through Barrow Canyon in the northeast corner of the Chukchi Sea\, little is known on the hydrography of the surrounding regions in winter. We present profiles of wintertime hydrography on the Chukchi slope from an autonomous profiling instrument\, and mooring records in Barrow Canyon. The central and western sectors of Barrow Canyon in December 2016 – February 2017 (DJF 2016-2017) were anomalously warm (~0.5 C warmer than the climatology) with the flow orienting toward the Arctic Ocean. Unlike the summertime warming near the surface\, the warm outflow has a temperature maximum at 80 dbar\, and this outflow modifies the water mass properties on the Chukchi slope 70 km north of the canyon. Based on our Barrow Canyon mooring records starting in 2002\, this is the first time that such warming is recorded on the outflow in winter. We discuss that this is due to the combination of the Barrow Canyon outflow favorable wind pattern and warming in the southern Chukchi Sea (the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea) before the winter.

SUMMARY:Microbiome and subducted carbon vulnerability in Arctic permafrost soils
DESCRIPTION:Arctic permafrost soils contain about half of the global soil organic C (approx. 1300 Pg). One third of this C is stored in subducted organic matter (cryoOM) by the cryoturbation processes.We here present results from the Arctic project that aimed at identifying the role of microbial functioning for OM decomposition in cryoturbated soils (Siberia\, Greenland\, Canada) and at assessing the potential vulnerability of this OM in a future climate. Our main findings were: \n1. Abundance of bacteria and fungi closely correlates with carbon loss. Low fungal to bacterial ratio may be one of the reasons of slow decomposition of cryoOM and can be used as cryoOM vulnerability predictor. The microbial community is distinctly different from topsoil and more similar to surrounding subsoil communities. There is\, therefore\, a mismatch between microbial community composition and OM quality that added to the retarded decomposition of cryoOM. \n2. OM availability is reduced and N cycling decelerated. In several incubation experiments including experiments with labelled substrates we demonstrated different nutrient limitations of the microbial communities in cryoOM. The N-containing substrates led to a significant priming effect\, indicating a strong N limitation of the microbial community. High portion of cryoOM is bound to clay minerals which may contribute to lower availability for microbial decomposition and lower vulnerability of cryoOM. \nIn summary\, we demonstrate that\, in addition to unfavorable environmental conditions\, decomposition processes in cryoturbated arctic soils are retarded by a combination of changes in microbial community composition\, reduced OM availability and decelerated N cycling. \nJiří Bárta\, Ph.

SUMMARY:National Institute of Polar Research seminar
DESCRIPTION:IARC is hosting a seminar with the National Institute of Polar Research of Japan. In this presentation\, activities of NIPR will be introduced together with recent research topics. Various opportunities for international research collaborations will also be addressed.\n\nNational Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) is one of the inter-university research institutes in Japan. The mandate of NIPR is to conduct scientific research on and field observations in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The main research area covers space and upper atmosphere sciences\, meteorology and glaciology\, geoscience\, and bioscience. The field stations include Syowa and Dome Fuji Stations in the Antarctic\, and Ny-Ålesund Station in the Arctic\, as well as participation of EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter radar). Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) and Arctic Challenge for Sustainability (ArCS) are two major programs that NIPR is currently promoting as the core institute in Japan. Various research collaborations with scientists in Japan and overseas\, and education of graduate students/young researchers are also important functions of NIPR. \nContact Amber Keith for more information.
