Preparing for a Northwest Passage: A Workshop on the Role of New England in Navigating the New Arctic< br />25-27 March 2018
Durham, New Hampshire

Registration deadline: 25 March 2018

 

Organizers invite registrations for a workshop titled Preparing for a Northwest Passage: A Workshop on the Rol e of New England in Navigating the New Arctic. This workshop will convene 2 5-27 March 2018 at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, New Hampshire .

This National Science Foundation-sponsored workshop will assess eco nomic, environmental, and social impacts of Arctic change on New England an d establish convergence research initiatives to prepare for, adapt to, and capitalize on these effects.

Shipping routes through an ice-free Nort hwest Passage in combination with modifications to ocean circulation and re gional climate patterns linked to Arctic ice melt will affect trade, fisher ies, tourism, coastal ecology, air and water quality, animal migration, and demographics not only in the Arctic but also in lower latitude coastal reg ions such as New England. With profound changes on the horizon, this is a c ritical opportunity for New England to prepare for uncertain yet inevitable economic and environmental impacts of Arctic change. In order to detect an d respond to the challenges that New England will face as the nation's east ern gateway to the Arctic, it will be necessary to modify traditional obser vational networks and models.

Registration deadline: 25 March 2018
