Facing rapid warming, alongside other shifting environmental and social conditions, Arctic communities are being forced to contend with a range of risks and hazards. Community resilience depends on robust and readily-available observations before, during, and after hazards arise. To support a better coordinated and more effective observing system, the US Arctic Observing Network (US AON) team is undertaking a series of gaps analysis case studies focused on risk management and hazard mitigation.
This effort is responsive to a deliverable within the 2022-2026 IARPC Arctic Research Plan: Conduct observational gaps analysis case studies to inform understanding of the capabilities, opportunities, and gaps in Arctic observing and data systems, with an initial focus on risk management and hazard mitigation.
