Over the next two weeks, a handful of NASA scientists will be living very different lives from the rest of us: they will board a research plane in Greenland alongside laser instruments to help calibrate NASA’s space-based measurements of Arctic ice. The ice researchers and instrument scientists will board NASA’s Gulfstream V jet and fly out of Thule Air Base in northwestern Greenland to head even farther north. And if they’re lucky with the weather, they’ll do that up to seven times.

The quota will be put at 500 white-sided dolphins, the government said in a statement on Sunday. The move comes after the government was heavily criticized in 2021 for the amount of animals caught and the way they were harvested that season.

The federal government is giving $7.46 million towards the co-management of two marine protected areas in Canada’s western Arctic, it announced Friday. Tarium Niryutait and Anguniaqvia niqiqyuam Marine Protected Areas are both located in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, a region which straddles the northernmost parts of Canada’s Northwest Territories and Yukon. 

The events during the week of August 1st, 2022, will include Enhancing Arctic Science and Engineering Workshop along with Regional Development Tours and forums on the Arctic science to plan for the next 25 years of Arctic research. Participants will include scientists and engineers, Indigenous leaders, Arctic community members, policymakers, government organizations and businesses to celebrate past research success, take stock of current challenges and opportunities and plan for the next generation of collaboration and knowledge co-production that will keep Utqiagvik and Indigenous knowledge at the forefront of Arctic science and contribute to a safe and sustainable future for

the Arctic.

The Forum is organized in cooperation with Naalakkersuisut - The Government of Greenland. The Focus of the 2022 Greenland Forum will be on climate and prosperity; and, geopolitics and progress.

The Arctic Circle Assembly is an open democratic platform with participation from governments, organizations, corporations, universities, think tanks, environmental associations, indigenous communities, concerned citizens, and others. It is nonprofit and nonpartisan.

The Graduate Climate Conference (GCC) is an interdisciplinary climate conference run by graduate students, for graduate students. Over the last sixteen years, graduate students representing hundreds of academic institutions have come together to present research and share ideas on climate and climate change in an array of disciplines. Organizers welcome abstracts from diverse fields such as atmospheric sciences, biology, environmental management, forestry and fisheries sciences, oceanography, communication, public policy studies, urban planning, public health, and any other climate-related disciplines.

AGU Fall Meeting is the most influential event in the world dedicated to the advancement of Earth and space sciences. Every year, AGU Fall Meeting unites the Earth and space science community to share findings, connect like-minded scientists from around the world, and advance our profession and shared passion for the impact of science.

The International Symposium on Arctic Research (ISAR) has been held every two years since 2008 and aims to present and discuss scientific results with researchers on the Arctic from all-over the world, extracting and sharing issues to solve, and exploring the future of the Arctic. ISAR-7 will consist of General Sessions and Special Sessions. General Sessions will address the following topics: atmosphere; ocean and sea ice; rivers, lakes, permafrost, and snow cover; ice sheets, glaciers, and ice cores; terrestrial ecosystems; marine ecosystems; geospacer; laws, politics, and economy; language, culture, and health; and, engineering for sustainable development.
