[CRYOLIST] Upcoming IARPC Webinars

Please join the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee for two upcoming webinars:

IARPC has released a draft of the next five-year Arctic Research Plan, which will span from 2022-2026. We are now asking the public to comment on the draft plan by June 11, 2021. To provide additional information about the draft plan contents and development, we are hosting a series of one-hour information sessions. A webinar on June 2, 10am AKT / 2pm ET will focus on implementing the plan. More information and Zoom connection information is available at https://www.iarpccollaborations.org/events/20982. This webinar will be recorded.

Join IARPC on Thursday, June 3 at 9am AKT / 1pm ET for a webinar with Dr. Sarah Aarons, Assistant Professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Aarons will provide a brief introduction to the historical context of colonialism in the Arctic, focused on Alaska, and its relationship to climate change impacts on Arctic Indigenous Peoples. For researchers working in the Arctic, this webinar will provide insight into the ways that relationships, resource extraction, compensation, and infrastructure building have been predominantly one-sided, and how climate change is now impacting Indigenous communities. More information and Zoom connection information is available at https://www.iarpccollaborations.org/events/21112. This webinar will be recorded.
