SUMMARY: 5th biennial Arctic Observing Summit 2020 - Online Only
LOCATION:Akureyri\, Iceland 
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>The AOS moves to Online Only, please visit the event website for
  additional information.</strong></p><p>The AOS fosters communication, inte
 rnational collaboration and coordination of long-term observations aimed at
  improving understanding of and response to system-scale Arctic change. The
  AOS is an international forum for optimizing resource allocation, and mini
 mizing gaps and duplication, through coordination of and exchange among res
 earchers, agencies, Indigenous Peoples, non-governmental organizations, the
  private sector and others involved or interested in long-term observing ac
 tivities. The AOS serves as a platform to identify and address societal and
  scientific needs and priorities, minimize gaps in data and information, re
 duce duplication, improve coverage and breadth, and contribute to solution-
 based applications and knowledge sharing.&nbsp;</p><p>Rapid and unprecedent
 ed system-scale environmental change in polar regions, and other sensitive 
 areas globally, requires adaptation, forecasting, planning and the developm
 ent of mitigation strategies, all dependent on a timely, accurate, and inte
 grated network of Arctic observing systems. The AOS provides opportunities 
 to make tangible contributions and progress towards the development and ope
 ration of such a system of systems spanning all Arctic components, and incl
 uding consideration of community needs, international cooperation, opportun
 ities, and challenges, and from decision-makers to community members.</p><p
