Within the NSF Arctic System Science (ARCSS) Program

the aim of HARC is to better understand the role of humans in the functioning of and interactions among the various physical, biological, and social components of the arctic system and the significance of changes in the arctic system for people in the Arctic and across the globe. The HARC program is now well positioned for a renewed emphasis on societal relevance within the ARCSS Program. In 2003, HARC began to connect with the broader North American and global human dimensions communities and can, therefore, bring the results of ARCSS research into this wider forum. In this context, a series of central goals have been identified:
- Capacity Building;
- Synthesis;
- Improved Communications; and
- Active Involvement in ARCSS Program Planning.

The open meeting at next week’s American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting will include discussion regarding the emerging needs of HARC research, approaches that will advance HARC goals, and efforts to more fully integrate HARC research into larger ARCSS efforts.

Anyone is welcome to participate and all interested parties are encourage to join the discussion.

Just as people must share seal meat and oil to maintain physical and social well-being, so, too, must they share knowledge --> that their minds will not rot.

  • 2009 Yup'ik Dance Festival
    Now that I've acknowledged that I am a blog slacker, I figured that I should make up for all the events that passed by without even a mention on my blog. The weekend of the Yup'ik Dance Festival is always a busy one. People from Bethel and all other neighboring villages travel by plane, four wheeler, and snow machine to come to Toksook for a week […]
  • almost airborne
    The house is packed up. My classroom is cleaned, electronics wrapped in plastic, walls are cleared, desks are pushed to one side of the room. My computer is about to be returned and given a clean sweep (re-imaged). I need to make a trash run to the dump with all the junk I"ve accumulated in my house. All of my packed things are hopefully going out o […]
  • We're melting away
    Alaska is a difficult place to live in for most of the year and during the winter especially, but the in between seasons are my least favorite times of the year. Fall and Spring. In the fall, the rains turn everything into mud, which gets tracked everywhere. On top of that, when it dries, it turns into dust, especially in carpeted areas. Our whole school […]
  • Euphoric fishing
    This year has been challenging and rewarding in many ways already. I've been trying to get my feet under me in the classroom. Each new batch of 7th graders that get thrown my way try to test their new teacher by driving them crazy. This years group is trying hard, but they aren't getting anywhere. Tough love! There is always so much work to ge […]
  • Last days of school and Spring skiing
    It's May 12th and there are 7 more days of school left. Spring is fully upon us and there is a lot of meltage occuring all around us. Many of you who read this are not used to seeing snow around your houses this time of year. Heck, my Dad has been telling me about all the great fishing he has been doing all ready. Well, up here, the ice still locked […]
