• Future Needs Assessment for Arctic Alaska Land and Resource Managers
  Project#: ALCC2012-03
  The Arctic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (Arctic LCC) Steering Committee conducted an assessment of science and information needs identified by land and resource managers working in Alaska’s Arctic, with a focus on needs related to expected changes in climate. The primary objective of the Future Needs Assessment is to determine how the Arctic LCC can best support and strengthen the connection between science and management in the area of climate change.

• Polar Bear Den Habitat Model
  Project#: ALCC2011-01
  This model will ultimately integrate snow physics, high-resolution digital terrain models, and bear biology to produce more refined and accurate maps predicting suitable polar bear den habitat than are currently available. The work will consist of data gathering, consultation between snow and bear scientists, modeling, and sensitivity studies to determine the impact of changing atmospheric conditions on den location and evolution along the Beaufort Coast.
