Advances in Arctic Observing and Data Systems
Session ID#: 160260
Session Description:
A changing Arctic affects the environment from the local to the global scale: rapid change threatens Indigenous livelihoods, communities, ecosystems, and the global climate system. Sustained observations that enable us to track, understand, and project this change are essential to guide adaptation and mitigation responses at various scales. The Arctic Observing Summit is a biennial event convened as part of the Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) initiative to guide the design, coordination, and operation of an international network of observing systems that improves our understanding of and response to Arctic change. This session invites papers focused on how sustained observations can contribute to well-being across a range of scales, and better understanding of rapid Arctic change to build resilience and inform policy and decision-making from the community level to the global scale. We also welcome papers that consider new and sustainable ways of supporting and expanding observing activities through collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, novel use of existing observational infrastructure and ways in which observing systems can be responsive to emerging issues.
