The Applied Research in Environmental Sciences NonProfit, Inc. (ARIES)
is hosting a webinar to discuss coastal erosion on the North Slope of
Alaska and a related long-term observing (LTO) network. The webinar will
be held Friday, 19 September 2014 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (AKDT).
The webinar will include discussion of how coastal erosion on the North
Slope of Alaska impacts local communities, potential responses to those
impacts, related cultural and economic factors, and best practices for
a long-term observing (LTO) network that could contribute to community
planning and response.
Craig Tweedie, University of Texas at El Paso, will present recent
coastal survey data for the North Slope.
Orson Smith, University of Alaska Anchorage (retired), will present a
review of coastal erosion mitigation structures.
General questions for discussion:
- What are the best practices for a LTO network so that it contributes
to community understanding and planned response to coastal erosion?
- What are the best practices for a LTO network to facilitate community
risk perception, the design of short-term erosion mitigation strategies,
and implementation of long-term plans for retreat from the coast?
- What are the best strategies for conveying information obtained from a
LTO network to the community?
