Scientific Understanding of Arctic Environmental Change
Providing a foundation of Arctic change science through collaboration with the research community, funding agencies, and stakeholders. Goals include improving understanding, advancing prediction, exploring consequences of changing Arctic sea ice, documenting permafrost degradation effects, predicting land-ice loss and sea-level impacts, analyzing societal and policy implications, and more.

SEARCH Vision / Goals / Activities SEARCH Vision: Scientific understanding of arctic environmental change to help society understand and respond to a rapidly changing Arctic. SEARCH Mission: To provide a foundation of Arctic change science through collaboration with the research community, funding agencies, and other stakeholders.
SEARCH Vision / Goals / Activities SEARCH Selected 5yr Goals and Activities: Developed with significant input from the broader scientific community to focus on critical gaps in our understanding of and responses to a rapidly changing Arctic. Sea Ice Action Team:Improve Understanding, Advance Prediction, and Explore Consequences of Changing Arctic Sea Ice Permafrost Action Team: Document and Understand How Degradation of Near-Surface Permafrost Will Affect Arctic and Global Systems Land Ice Team:Improve Predictions of Future Land-ice Loss and Impacts on Sea Level folded in: Analyze Societal and Policy Implications of Arctic Environmental Change Other SEARCH Objectives: Arctic Observing: Observing Change Panel Cross-Cutting Activities / Arctic System s level Arctic Futures Scenario Knowledge-to-Action
Thursday Nov. 18, 2015 - Overview SEARCH : Moving in new directions Overview of SEARCH structure, objectives and approach Arctic Policy & Stakeholder environment SEARCH and Arctic Observing Activities Agencies perspectives - How can SEARCH help? Discussion on Observing Change Panel SEARCH Action Teams - Year 2 plan Objectives, activities, outcomes Approach, and links to Observing & Cross-Cutting themes SEARCH Cross-cutting Activities and Knowledge Exchange Summary, plans for next day
Friday Nov. 19, 2015 - SSC Topics SEARCH Reaching Out to Science Communities & Agencies/Stakeholders Newsletter or other ways for reaching research community: provide motivation, advance frameworks, provide platform for system science Forming a SEARCH Communications Strategy (Matt) Encourage and coordinate SEARCH contribution/participation in IARPC Towards SEARCH Year 2 plan: Enabling Activities ATs - Support their main focus, facilitate linking to other programs, SSC & Agencies Creating System-level Syntheses Opportunities through Cross-Cutting Activities - start refining scientific objectives with agencies/stakeholders, find champions, plan Executive Office - Role and expectations Other SEARCH topics Yr2 Plan - Process for finalizing Process for forming new, phasing out old activities SEARCH - ToR, SSC rotation status, disciplinary representations
