Draft Meeting Report
The workshop, "Enhancing Decision-Making Through Integrated Climate Research: Alaska Region Meeting", was sponsored by
the Office of Global Programs (OGP), Climate and Societal Interactions Division,
Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program. Partners for this meeting, included the National
Weather Service in Anchorage; USGS-Alaska Science Center; and the National
Park Service-Alaska Region. The steering committee was
comprised of RISA researchers from the western U.S. and numerous
academic, government, Native Alaskan and NGO communities.
The purpose of this workshop was to
- identify how climate information could help decision-makers expand their
options in the face of climate change and variability;
- document opportunities for
integrated, multi-disciplinary research on issues important to regional stakeholders; and
- share the RISA program methodology with Alaskan researchers
order to initiate new collaborations and potential partnerships.
