11 A Pan-Northern Science and Technology Program Current priorities for first 5-year plan ( ): 1. Alternative and renewable energy for the North 2. Predicting the impacts of changing ice, permafrost, and snow on shipping, infrastructure, and communities 3. Baseline information for preparedness 4. Infrastructure for development 5. Underwater situational awareness 11

12 Cross-Cutting Activities Monitoring and reporting Traditional Knowledge 12 Capacity building and outreach Polar Continental Shelf Program Logistics support Cross-cutting activities are the foundation of the Station and will support the delivery of S&T activities Technology development and transfer

13 Knowledge Management and Mobilization Objective is to foster the cross-discipline exchange of knowledge by: Enhancing and brokering relationships and networks; Coordinating collaborative opportunities to share research and knowledge. Leading activities which include: science outreach camps, youth internship opportunities, employment, training, etc. Ensure citizens, including Northerners, benefit from publicly funded research by following standard data practices and open sharing of data and knowledge. 13

14 Enhancing Collaboration POLAR facilitates coordination and brokers partnerships across: Canadian science-based departments and agencies Territorial governments and northern organizations Industry and private sector Aboriginal organizations Academia: universities, colleges, research networks International organizations and research networks 14

15 Opportunities for Northern Communities POLAR is committed to Improve the economic opportunities, environmental stewardship and quality of life of Northerners and all other Canadians Provide Northerners with skills and experience to better participate in the labour force, from mining and energy through natural resource and wildlife management, to health and life sciences Support Employee training and development as well as career development programs to build capacity, enhance northern leaders and ensure Northerners are an integral part of the organization from the beginning Support the participation of northern youth in science, technology or TK activities (science camps, scholarships, mentoring) Facilitate the communication of science and results back to the community 15

17 Monitoring - CHARS Kitikmeot Region Establishment of the CHARS regional ecosystem as a worldclass research and monitoring area that underpins national and international monitoring. It is estimated that only 10% of the Kitikmeot marine system has been charted, and virtually nothing is known of its physical, biogeochemical and biological oceanographic systems. 17

18 Marine-Coastal Monitoring CHARS Experimental and Reference Area Conduct mapping, and baseline inventories of coastal/marine ecosystems Install research infrastructure (cabins, telecommunications, boats, safety systems) to support long term monitoring Establish instrumented monitoring experiments at marine sites Work with Kitikmeot Inuit organizations to develop Traditional Science and Community Based Monitoring for the area. Develop a network of coastal/marine monitoring across the North 18

21 Arctic Marine aspects of S&T Priorities Cryosphere: Predicting the impacts of changing ice, permafrost, and snow on shipping, communities & infrastructure OBJECTIVES To understand how and why changes are happening in the Cryosphere across the Arctic and the impact of these changes on shipping, infrastructure (e.g. ice roads, buildings, and runways) and local ecosystems, as well as global processes. POLAR will focus its efforts to support decision making in two areas: safe shipping and the mitigation of impacts from shipping, supporting industry and communities in adapting to environmental changes through improved predictive capacity. 21

22 Arctic Marine aspects of S&T Priorities Underwater Situational Awareness (USA) OBJECTIVES Efficient and effective monitoring and surveillance of Canada s vast Arctic under changing conditions. Management and surveillance in the polar marine environment is particularly difficult given the extreme weather conditions and seasonality of light and the challenges of access and of reliable communications capability across the region. Improve the effectiveness, endurance, and reliability of both fixed underwater observing systems as well as unmanned underwater vehicles that do not require real-time input from an operator. 22

24 Funded Marine Coastal Projects from 1 st Science Call for Proposals Development of community-based monitoring for aquatic invasive species in the Canadian Arctic - preparing for increased shipping related to resource development and climate change (Howland, DFO) Resource development, marine shipping and Arctic wildlife: a model of publicprivate partnership to address potential environmental impacts (Gilchrist, EC) Improved real-time information and regional models for local travel, search and rescue, aviation, sea-lift and shipping activities: Cambridge Bay/Dease Strait and Hudson Strait/Deception Bay regions of Cambridge Bay and Hudson Strait. (Dewy, Oceans Networks Canada). Pond Inlet/Baffin Island. (Bell, Memorial University). 24

25 Arctic Marine aspects of S&T Priorities Next Steps Planning for next round of funding is currently underway. Arctic Marine and coastal experts are being contacted from Aboriginal, Industry, Territorial and Federal governments along with scientific and technological authorities to assist POLAR to determine: What organizations are working on these priorities? What gaps that POLAR could fill to refine current approaches to move these research needs forward? How can Autonomous Intelligent Marine Systems (AIMS) be utilized to help deliver on these gaps? This information will be presented to POLAR s new Board of Directors to determine the next phase of the 5-year S&T Plan. 25
