This report, edited by Carl J. Markon (USGS), Sarah F. Trainor (ACCAP/UAF), and F. Stuart Chapin III (UAF), served as foundational technial input for the U.S. Global Change Research Program's 2013 National Climate Assessment.
Arctic sea ice has declined dramatically during the last few decades. Estimating the maximum and minimum sea ice extent, before it occurs, is a important tool for developing and implementing near-term public policy.
This research aims to improve situational awareness and crisis response by enhancing support for planning and emergency response to emerging climate-related environmental marine hazards in the Arctic.
ACCAP was involved in ICEX2018. Brettschieder’s analog forecasting technique was used in two manners, first for daily forecasts and second for historical break up match for when sea ice would deteriorate to a point where the camp was no longer usable.
Dina is looking into how sea ice and weather modeling data can help support emergency responders by looking into a recent Search and Rescue event for a missing small vessel due into Utqiaġvik in July 2017.
