Highlight: “ICECAPS data and analyses have developed process relationships that relate cloud variability to different terms of the surface energy budget as a function of time of year. These relationships are used to assess large-scale models and identify specific model deficiencies that must be addressed to accurately represent the energy partitioning at Greenland’s surface,” –… Read more »
Highlight: “These data are critical for understanding how climate-induced changes in the timing of migratory herbivore grazing should be included in projections of the role of Arctic and Subarctic ecosystems in the global climate system,” – Dr. Kathy Kelsey. Phenological mismatch is when the timing of food and/or habitat availability for a species is altered… Read more »

Highlight: “So-called rotten ice has experienced a long summer of melt, is fragile, difficult to work with, and has received little attention. Comprehensive information on its physical and microbiological properties does not exist,” – Dr. Karen Junge. Decreases in ice extent, concentration, and thickness have all been observed in the Arctic as sea ice responds… Read more »
We’re enjoying connecting with Arctic researchers at the POLAR 2018 Open Science Conference in Davos, Switzerland this week. A condensed version of our Data Management Planning workshop’s presentation slides are now available online (https://t.co/QTH51S88fi). The Best Practices for Data and Metadata Submission presentation slides are also available online (Best Practices Presentation Slides). If you’re at… Read more »
The Arctic Data Center is excited to connect with the Arctic community at POLAR 2018 in Davos, Switzerland June 15-23, 2018. Team members will be presenting three free training workshops during the Open Science Conference, focused on how the Arctic Data Center can support Arctic researchers with their data management, planning and submission. We… Read more »
Highlight: “It is our goal to accurately describe contemporary subsistence activities and the issues faced by Arctic communities, all in support of sustaining these communities into the future,” – Dr. James Fall. This dataset, part of the same Bering Sea Integrated Research Program as a previous dataset highlight, investigates the implications of climate change… Read more »
Highlight: This dataset is behind the study recently highlighted in a High Country News article, sharing the work of Dr. Rose Cory and her team. This dataset is part of a project working to understand what happens to soil organic matter when it’s flushed from soils to streams, ponds and lakes. This organic carbon is… Read more »
(Full details) The Arctic Data Center is soliciting requests for proposals for a Synthesis Working Group, with research to begin by October 2018. Funding of up to $54,600 is available to support one Working Group, hosting two meetings of 3-5 days, with approximately 15 participants each at the Arctic Data Center in Santa Barbara, California,… Read more »
