Deciduous trees are expanding in several areas of Yukon because of effects linked to climate change, according to new research. Kirsten Reid, the lead author of a study published in Environmental Reviews, told CBC News that drought, wildfire and permafrost thaw are changing the makeup of forests. She said coniferous trees, which dominate Yukon forests, seem to be fighting a losing battle against deciduous trees, such as aspen.

The US National Science Foundation and other research agencies could see major infusions of cash, thanks to the US$280-billion CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which the US Congress passed last week. Two years in the making, this landmark legislation promises one of the biggest funding increases in years for science. But it remains unclear whether Congress will ultimately deliver the money it has pledged.

Pond Inlet youth are set to explore the impact Scottish whaling had on Inuit culture and history this fall, after receiving a US$50,000 grant. Ikaarvik, a non-profit organization based in Pond Inlet, received the funding last fall from the Trebek Initiative, which gives money to projects that protect the environment, culture and history. It’s a joint fund by the National Geographic Society and Royal Canadian Geographical Society in honour of the late Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek.

Join the NOAA Science Seminar Series for an overview of the Bering Science publication, featuring speakers on crab, salmon, seabirds and climate in the Bering Sea. The Bering Science publication is a collaboration between the Alaska Ocean Observing System and the International Arctic Research Center. The publication shares observations and research that is happening in and around the region. This year’s report focused on six topics identified by our Community Advisory Panel - salmon, walrus, crab, halibut, seabirds and climate.

Successful implementation of genetic stock structure into fisheries management plans involves a series of complicated steps, from identification of genetic stock structure to interpretation in a management context, and development of an appropriate plan for incorporating the information into management. Join the NOAA Science Seminar Series for a discussion about how simulation studies support the use of 'Omics in catch allocation, as well as several examples where genomics has (and has not) supported the implementation of new management units.

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 key topics of Arctic Frontiers 2023 will reflect transformation, modeling, adaptation, and development in the rapidly changing global landscape. Furthermore, business development in viable industries and Arctic health will feature, due to their relevance with the concept of Moving North. While looking at both the long-term and short-term impacts of the environmental, humanitarian, and economic crises, looking for potential solutions will be a key driver of the Arctic Frontiers 2023: Moving North conference. 

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.
