Abstract

ABSTRACT Improving situational awareness and crisis response are key priorities in reducing potential risks associated with sea ice and environmental-related hazards in the Arctic. This research explores the opportunities and challenges associated with leveraging arctic system science research to coproduce sea ice decision support tools. The research is based on information derived from a coastal radar operated as part of university research in Utqiaġvik, Alaska as well as decision context analysis from 12 interviews with marine operators and responders, subsistence users, and service providers. Findings revealed a diversity of information preferences and needs, decision thresholds, capacities, and constraints. A sea ice notification framework is presented, which illustrates how near-real time observations can be integrated into existing trusted notification systems. Key challenges to using Arctic system science research to support decision maker needs include the logistics of operating and maintaining near-real time observations. Innovative partnerships and informal networks may be especially important in overcoming these challenges.

将北极系统科学研究与决策者需求联系起来:在阿拉斯加Utqiaġvik共同生产海冰决策支持工具
提高态势感知和危机反应能力是减少北极海冰和环境相关危害的潜在风险的关键优先事项。本研究探讨了利用北极系统科学研究共同生产海冰决策支持工具的机遇和挑战。该研究基于来自阿拉斯加Utqiaġvik大学研究的沿海雷达的信息,以及对海洋运营商和响应者、生存用户和服务提供商进行的12次访谈的决策背景分析。调查结果揭示了信息偏好和需求、决策阈值、能力和约束的多样性。提出了一个海冰通知框架,它说明了如何将近实时观测集成到现有的可信通知系统中。利用北极系统科学研究来支持决策者需求的主要挑战包括操作和维护近实时观测的后勤。创新伙伴关系和非正式网络在克服这些挑战方面可能特别重要。

期刊介绍: Polar Geographyis a quarterly publication that offers a venue for scholarly research on the physical and human aspects of the Polar Regions. The journal seeks to address the component interplay of the natural systems, the complex historical, political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and security issues, and the interchange amongst them. As such, the journal welcomes comparative approaches, critical scholarship, and alternative and disparate perspectives from around the globe. The journal offers scientists a venue for publishing longer papers such as might result from distillation of a thesis, or review papers that place in global context results from coordinated national and international efforts currently underway in both Polar Regions.
