SUMMARY:Monitoring whales and ships in Arctic marine regions
DESCRIPTION:IARC is hosting a special seminar with visiting PhD students Greta Ferloni and Marie Zahn on Monitoring whales and ships in Arctic marine regions. Attend in person in Akasofu 401 (masks required) or register below to watch virtually. \n\n\n\nGreta Ferloni (DurhamARCTIC\, Durham University) has been a visiting PhD researcher at IARC since January\, and is interested in how recent changes in sea ice are impacting vessel traffic in the Bering Strait region. Greta will share her progress to date analysing the Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME) Arctic Ship Traffic Data (ASTD) dataset that provides information on shipping activities in the region using AIS signals. \n\n\n\nMarie Zahn (School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences\, University of Washington) is visiting IARC during July and August. Her talk is titled: Monitoring Arctic toothed whales and their coastal marine habitats in West Greenland. Marie will share a broad overview of her PhD research\, both completed and ongoing\, that focuses on West Greenland ecology in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic. Her research examines features of beluga and narwhal bioacoustics and oceanographic variability in glacier fjords that are seasonally occupied by narwhals. \n\n\n\n* Photo taken under NOAA permit #20465

SUMMARY:Thesis defense: cryospheric hazard planning & response
DESCRIPTION:Join IARC for Dina Abdel-Fattah’s PhD defense on cryospheric hazard planning and response in Alaska. Dina is advised by Sarah Trainor. Join remotely via Zoom.\n\nDissertation title:\n\nStakeholder needs and information use in cryospheric hazard planning and response: case studies from Alaska\n\nDissertation abstract:\n\nThe global cryosphere is experiencing rapid change\, which potentially impacts the severity and magnitude of various cryospheric hazards. Alaska is home to a number of different communities that experience cryospheric hazards. These types of hazards can have potentially devastating impacts on surrounding biodiversity\, communities\, and infrastructure. However\, there is a gap in understanding regarding what are stakeholder information needs for different cryospheric hazards\, as well as what are the resources stakeholders use to meet these needs. This dissertation investigated stakeholder use of various information products and resources in three cryospheric hazard-prone communities in Alaska\, which experience glacial lake outburst flood events (Juneau and the Kenai Peninsula) or anomalous high-speed sea ice motion events (Utqiaġvik). In addition\, a clear need exists to understand how further cryosphere change affects cryospheric hazards. Therefore\, I tested whether a structured decision-making methodology can be pertinent in a cryospheric hazard context\, which has previously never been done before. Specifically\, I tested whether structured decision-making can be employed by decision-makers to better understand the planning needs necessary to adequately prepare for future\, but uncertain glacial surges from Bering Glacier\, Alaska.\n\n \n\nI found that identifying distinct stakeholder needs as well as stakeholder use of currently available information products and resources was particularly beneficial for information providers to understand how and why their products and resources are or are not used. This opened up opportunities for existing products to be enhanced or for new products to be developed. However\, one of the main findings from the case study research is that there is no single information product that meets all stakeholder needs. Different stakeholders have different information needs\, which need to be addressed in different ways. The structured decision-making approach tested in this dissertation was also found to be useful and applicable in a cryospheric hazard context. It can therefore be utilized as a methodological framework by decision-makers to integrate varying stakeholder needs in such a context. The findings from this research provide a unique contribution to the literature by displaying how social science and decision analysis research can support the development of information tools and resources that are both useful and relevant to those affected by cryospheric hazards.

SUMMARY:Response of major modes of eastern Arctic Ocean variability to climate change
DESCRIPTION:Join IARC for Till Baumann’s PhD thesis defense titled response of major modes of eastern Arctic Ocean variability to climate change. Till is advised by Igor Polyakov. \nAbstract: The Arctic Ocean plays a central role in ongoing climate change\, with sea-ice loss being the most prominent indicator. In recent years\, an increased influence of Atlantic inflows on sea-ice reduction was discovered. This encroaching atlantification of the easternArctic Ocean has substantial impact on the hydrography and ocean dynamics in the region. In this study\, we assess the state of hydrographic seasonal cycles and tidal current dynamics in the eastern Eurasian Basin (EEB). The central data set used in this work stems from a set of six moorings deployed across the EEB continental slope along the 125°E meridian between 2013 and 2015 within the NABOS project.Results show a complex pattern of seasonality with a remarkably strong (ΔT=1.4°C)\, deep reaching (~600m) temperature signal over the continental slope. Tidal analysis reveals avigorous baroclinic (depth and time varying) component of tidal currents in the region.Unprecedented tidal amplitudes of over 40cm/s are observed far offshore during the ice-free summers. These findings indicate a new\, more dynamic state of the eastern Arctic Ocean with direct implications for the ecosystem and further sea-ice reduction.In order to investigate the impact of tidal dynamics on an Arctic-wide scale\, a pan-Arctic tidal current atlas is developed that synthesizes all available observations from the last ~15 years. \nJoin remotely via zoom.
