Alaska Arctic Observatory and Knowledge Hub

Northern Alaska coastal communities can find tools, resources, and scientific support to share their expertise and observations of environmental change. Observations focus on changes in sea ice, permafrost, and coastal waters. 

Community-based observations and the joint development of a knowledge resource on cryosphere change will be used to aid in knowledge sharing and will emphasize changes in the seasonal cycle as it affects community activities and access to resources and subsistence harvest species.

The activities of the AAOKH are guided by community input and a Science Steering Group, which welcomes input at any time from communities.
