SUMMARY:Seasonal Outlooks and Climate-Scale Analysis of Heat\, Drought and Fire Risk in Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Temperatures and precipitation are increasing during Alaska’s fire season (April–September) creating uncertainty about future wildland fire risk—warming increases risk while higher precipitation may partially offset it. This webinar examines trends of heat and drought indicators (vapor pressure deficit\, SPI\, SPEI\, convective precipitation\, heat index) across the full season and by each half (April–June\, July–September). Machine-learning analysis of large-scale meteorological patterns also supports seasonal outlooks of Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System components\, including the Buildup Index and Initial Spread Index. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: Richard Lader\, Chis Waigl\, Jacob Coffey\, and Uma Bhatt\, University of Alaska Fairbanks \n\n\n\nHosted by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Webinar

SUMMARY:Arctic Collaboratory: Permafrost
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive discussion about interdisciplinary collaborations and co-production\, AI in Arctic Permafrost research\, and changing high latitude permafrost landscapes. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nGo Iwahana specializes in the dynamics of permafrost systems\, specifically investigating how ground ice forms\, persists\, and eventually degrades in a warming climate. His primary scope involves quantifying permafrost loss and analyzing its biogeochemical byproducts\, including greenhouse gases. A significant portion of his work is dedicated to assessing how landform changes and surface disturbances\, such as wildfires\, impact Arctic communities and infrastructure. He approaches these questions using a hybrid methodology that combines precise in-situ GNSS measurements and laboratory analyses with multi-sensor remote sensing via airborne and satellites. He will introduce the aims\, methods\, and spatio-temporal range of his permafrost (geocryology) studies followed by narratives about challenges in collaboration and coproduction between researchers and communities\, and among different academic disciplines and the scales targeted.  \n\n\n\nMelissa Ward Jones is a Research Assistant Professor and Director of the Water and Environmental Research Center (WERC) in the Institute of Northern Engineering at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. She is a geographer and permafrost geomorphologist interested in understanding the drivers and responses of changing high latitude permafrost landscapes and environments. She uses a mix-methods approach to answer research questions by combining field work\, remote sensing\, GIS and statistical analysis and more recently\, social science-based methods like surveys\, interviews and workshop exercises. She has extensive field experience around Alaska\, the Canadian High Arctic and Svalbard\, Norway. Dr. Ward Jones has had a range of collaborative experiences during her career\, including local\, national\, international\, and field based\, with various research stations (e.g.\, the Teshekpuk Lake Observatory in Alaska) and weather stations (e.g.\, the Eureka Weather Station in Canada) and co-produced research through the Permafrost Grown Project that she leads. She is an advocate of family friendly science and frequently conducts fieldwork with her family\, including her daughter since she was 3-month-old. She will discuss collaborative work conducted by WERC Faculty in her capacity as Director. \n\n\n\nWenwen Li is a Professor in the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University (ASU)\, where she directs the Spatial Analysis Research Center (SPARC). Her research interests include cyberinfrastructure\, big data\, geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI)\, and their applications in data- and computation-intensive environmental and social sciences. Her work has led to widely used cyberinfrastructure tools (e.g.\, PolarHub and PolarGlobe)\, and conceptual advances that support climate resilience in the Arctic\, disaster response\, humanitarian aid\, and clean water access in underserved communities. She will share her experience bridging big data and AI research for Arctic permafrost science through collaborations with permafrost hydrologists\, remote sensing experts\, research software engineers\, and community leaders to collectively advance our understanding of the Arctic landscape and how its changes are impacting ecosystems and Arctic communities. \n\n\n\nModerator: Brendan Kelly\, UAF IARC \n\n\n\nCo-hosted by UAF IARC and Arizona State University’s Global Futures Lab \n\n\n\nThis will be a hybrid event in Akasofu 501 and online.

SUMMARY:Visiting Scientist Lecture: Past Climate Impacts on Human Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Axel Timmermann\n\n\n\nOur genus Homo emerged in Africa 2-3 million years ago during a time of climate cooling and increasing glacial cycles. How early humans adapted to these disruptions remains a mystery. This seminar introduces numerical models that simulate dispersal\, adaptation\, and interbreeding\, using paleo­climate simulations to explore climate’s role in human evolution. Axel Timmermann will show how Milankovic cycles created migration corridors that shaped today’s genetic diversity and discuss climate-driven depopulation events in Europe ( ~1.1 million years ago) and Africa ( ~ 900 thousand years ago). \n\n\n\nBy integrating paleo-climate\, anthropology\, and archaeology\, we can reconstruct the human climate niche and examine how hominins became highly mobile and resilient around 800 thousand years ago\, possibly linked to increasing glacial cycles and advances in tool use and fire-making. Recent efforts to incorporate climate and paleo­vegetation data into human origins research offer new insights into our past and raise important questions about how modern climate change may shape our future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAxel Timmermann is the Director of the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University\, South Korea\, where he also holds a Distinguished Professorship. Dr. Timmermann received his PhD in 1999 from the University of Hamburg\, Germany. After 2 years as a postdoc at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute and 3 years as research team leader at the IfM-GEOMAR/University of Kiel in Germany he moved to the University of Hawaii to work first as an associate professor and then from 2009-2016 as a full tenured professor at the International Pacific Research Center and the Department of Oceanography. In 2017 he launched the ICCP – one of the South Korea’s largest climate research centers.  \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Axel Timmermann was the recipient of the 2008 Rosenstiel Award in Oceanographic Science\, the 2015 University of Hawai’i Regents’ Medal for Research Excellence and the 2017 Milanković Medal from the European Geosciences Union. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and has been listed consecutively as a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher from 2018 to 2024. His more than 240 publications cover a wide range of subjects\, including Quark-Gluon Plasma\, relativistic hydrodynamics\, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation\, glacial cycles\, abrupt climate change\, climate prediction\, human evolution\, isotope geochemistry\, eco-cultural modelling and dynamical systems’ theory. Currently he is working on Southern African paleo-climate reconstructions\, a model of terrestrial life and the foundations of quantum mechanics. Dr. Timmermann has conducted oceanographic\, limnological and paleo-climate field work in the Arctic Ocean\, on remote Pacific Islands\, and in caves in South Korea and Botswana.

SUMMARY:December 2024 International Joint Seminar on Ocean Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Join Hokkaido University’s Arctic Research Center and the International Arctic Research Center for the December 2024 Joint Seminar on Ocean Sciences. This webinar features Hiroshi Yoshida with the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and IARC Deputy Director Claudine Hauri discussing Arctic sea ice decline and changes in shipping in the Northern Sea Route and Bering Strait regions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiroshi Yoshida: Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology Institute of Arctic Climate and Environment Research\n\n\n\n\n\nClaudine Hauri: Deputy Director\, International Arctic Research Center\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstracts \n\n\n\nHiroshi Yoshida: How much CO2 should be removed? ~ Design of an electrochemistry-based marine CDR system~ Climate change is advancing rapidly\, despite human efforts to reduce GHG emissions. Achieving the global carbon neutrality target for 2050 through emission reductions alone is difficult because emissions cannot be reduced to zero. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a method to remove the remaining GHG emissions. At present\, CDR is mainly conducted by nature-based removal (NBR)\, but from the perspective of durability and total recovery\, it is desirable to use technology-based removal (TBR) in combination. In TBR\, Direct Air Capture (DAC) is already in operation\, but it can also be recovered from the ocean. The carbon density of the ocean is more than 100 times higher than that of the atmosphere\, making it more efficient. We are therefore considering the implementation of marine CDR using electrochemistry\, and are presenting the system design and basic experiments. \n\n\n\nClaudine Hauri: Unveiling Compound Stressors: New Indices and Insights into Gulf of Alaska Ecosystem Vulnerabilities Our ocean biogeochemical model revealed quadruple compound extreme events on the Gulf of Alaska seafloor\, driven by ocean acidification\, heat\, and low oxygen levels during the 2019 marine heatwave—indicating that marine heatwaves alone were not the sole ecosystem stressors. We defined the Northern Gulf of Alaska Climate Oscillation Index and the Gulf of Alaska Downwelling Index\, using satellite-observed sea surface height\, to analyze how shifting ocean conditions contributed to these events. Our findings emphasize the importance of these newly defined indices in understanding compound stressors and improving predictions of future ecosystem vulnerabilities. \n\n\n\nZoom Link

SUMMARY:S.T. Lee Visiting Scholar Lecture: Arctic Sea Ice Changes
DESCRIPTION:Arctic sea ice changes – from quiet to more dynamical regime\n\n\n\nSpeaker:  \n\n\n\n\nJari Haapala\, Finnish Meteorological Institute\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMass balance of the Arctic Sea ice depends on thermodynamical and dynamical factors. Thermodynamical and mechanical sea ice state variables are strongly coupled\, but the strength of coupling varies in daily\, seasonal and climate time scales. When the ice pack is thick\, solid and compact\, this coupling is strong and large areas of the ice pack are mechanically connected. In these circumstances\, internal stress of pack ice is accumulating and reducing differences in ice motion.  \n\n\n\nIn these conditions drift speed of Arctic Sea decreases\, age of ice increases and total mass of ice pack increases. On a contrary\, thinner ice pack which includes cracks\, leads or larger open water areas is in turn mechanically weakly connected\, exhibits larger variations in motions in shorter time and length scales\, drifts with higher speed and exhibits shorter residence time in theArctic. In this talk\, the importance of ice dynamics on sea ice mass balance is reviewed and new findings based the MOSAiC campaign are discussed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the S.T. Lee Young Scientist Exchange: The S.T. Lee Young Scientist Exchange is a partnership between IARC and the Antarctic Research Centre\, Victoria University of Wellington. The program supports exchange of students and early career scientists between the two institutions to promote the sharing of knowledge and ideas between Arctic and Antarctic focused research. The S.T. Lee Lecture was established by Singaporean philanthropist Lee Seng Tee. IARC also participates in the S.T. Lee Fellowship program\, which supports lectures by senior-level researchers.

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.

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:S.T. Lee Visiting Scholar Lecture: Poungawai\, A Digital River
DESCRIPTION:Māori design and digital technology give voice to water through art\n\n\n\nSpeakers:  \n\n\n\n\nCecilia Kumeroa\, Whanganui\, Universal College of Learning\n\n\n\nVincent “Billy” van Uitregt\, Victoria\, University of Wellington\n\n\n\n\nFor Māori\, the concepts of mana (power) and mauri (life force) are fundamental to understanding and ensuring the health of our waterways. Our current decision-making systems depend on data that are based on biophysical parameters\, like water flow and turbidity\, limiting our true sense of our freshwater systems and their surrounding landscapes. \n\n\n\nPoungawai—A Digital River unites toi Māori design with digital technology to explore the potential for the mana and mauri of the Awa (river) to be given a voicxe by creating dynamic moving art driven by environmental data. Thhis work raises questions about the complex notions of mana and mauri\, decision0making\, and monitoring systems. \n\n\n\nWe hope to provoke such questions and point to the fertile domains of toi Māori and other Indigenous traditions and digital technology for possible answers.  \n\n\n\nMore information: http://kumeroa.com \n\n\n\nAbout the S.T. Lee Young Scientist Exchange: The S.T. Lee Young Scientist Exchange is a partnership between IARC and the Antarctic Research Centre\, Victoria University of Wellington. The program supports exchange of students and early career scientists between the two institutions to promote the sharing of knowledge and ideas between Arctic and Antarctic focused research. The S.T. Lee Lecture was established by Singaporean philanthropist Lee Seng Tee. IARC also participates in the S.T. Lee Fellowship program\, which supports lectures by senior-level researchers.
