1. 3/17/08AON/Arctic Integration Workshop1 IPY: Collaborative Research on the State of the Arctic Sea Ice Cover: An Integrated Seasonal Ice Zone Observing Network (SIZONet) Investigators: Eicken, Johnson, Lovecraft, Heinrichs, Gradinger (UAF), Perovich, Sturm (CRREL) Contributing partners: Nghiem (JPL), Markus (GSFC), Krupnik (Smithsonian), Shirasawa, Tateyama & Enomoto (Japan), Hendricks (Germany), Haas & Barber (Canada), Gerland (Norway) Linkages and integration through CliC Sea-Ice Working Group, Sea-Ice Knowledge and Use (SIKU) IPY Project, UA North by 2020 IPY Forum Outreach activities with Bering Sea School District, UA North by 2020 IPY Forum; Int’l Field Course, Barrow, May 2008 Principal contacts: Hajo Eicken (hajo.eicken@gi.alaska.edu), Don Perovich (donald.k.perovich@erdc.usace.army.mil) Data access: CADIS web site; ak.aoos.org, www.gi.alaska.edu/BRWICE, www.sizonet.org (May 2008)

2. 3/17/08AON/Arctic Integration Workshop2 Aims SIZ expanding, lack of data (thickness, mass balance, albedo) to assess whether moving to new state Ice deformation & snow (Okhotsk Sea as analog of future Arctic SIZ?) Does local change at scale relevant to stakeholders conform with pan-Arctic change? Observations Coastal mass budget & optics measurements (w/ feedback from stakeholders) Coastal ice observations by Iñupiaq (& Hokkaido) ice experts - database Drifting buoys Thickness and property surveys (Alert, Barrow, Bering & Okhotsk Sea)

3. 3/17/08AON/Arctic Integration Workshop3 Sea-ice system services (SISS) as an aid to integration of “pure” and “applied” science 1)Climate regulator, marine hazard, coastal buffer 2)Coastal platform & roadway 3)Cultural services from “icescape” 4)Support of foodwebs and biological diversity “State vs. Stake”: Institutional analysis & prioritization Calibration through work with local experts and stakeholders

4. 3/17/08AON/Arctic Integration Workshop4 Coastal ice: Integrating RS & local obs’ns Wales 11/7/07 - 1st pancake ice 11/11/07 - coastal slush berm washed away, one boat w/ hunters got 18 seals Shishmaref: 11/15/07 - slush ice berms protect shoreline 12/14-25 - shorefast ice repeatedly forms & breaks out 12/26: ice blown in forms persistent shorefast ice belt Barrow 11/3/07 - 1st local ice formation on Chukchi Sea side Early Nov - 12/25/07: Unstable shorefast ice w/ break-outs 12/26/07: Shorefast ice has stabilized Nov 17, 2007; SSM/I

5. 3/17/08AON/Arctic Integration Workshop5 Integration AON: local observations; snow; ice thickness & properties; buoys; remote sensing & ground-based obs.
