SUMMARY:From Sensors to Safety: How Arctic Observations Are Shaping Coastal Flood Resilience in Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Download Webinar Transcript\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Sandy Starkweather\, Executive Director of the US Arctic Observing Network \n\n\n\nCoastal flooding is one of the most urgent threats facing many Alaskan communities. In this ACCAP webinar\, Sandy will walk through the U.S. Arctic Observing Network’s new technical brief on coastal flooding. She will highlight how organizations such as the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys\, the U.S. Geological Survey\, the National Weather Service\, and the Alaska Ocean Observing System\, alongside Indigenous Knowledge holders and community residents\, are turning available data into forecasts\, flood inundation tools\, and post storm recovery resources. Sandy will also discuss the persistent observational gaps that limit early warning lead times and long-term planning\, and the priority actions identified through engagement with coastal flooding experts to help sustain and expand these critical capabilities. This webinar highlights what Alaskans are accomplishing with existing tools and explores the specific investments experts say would make the biggest difference. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Sandy Starkweather is the Executive Director of the US Arctic Observing Network\, bringing together her engineering\, Arctic climatology\, and science policy expertise to build stronger collaborations among all those who benefit from sustained Arctic observing. She spent twelve years conducting and supporting field research in Greenland. Sandy has also played a key role in advancing the U.S. Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee’s Arctic Research Plans. Her work centers on building the collaborations needed to make sustained Arctic observing more effective for all who depend on it.

SUMMARY:VAWS - JPSS: How to Access the Data Online and Training Resources
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jorel Torres\, RA3: JPSS Satellite Liaison \n\n\n\nAbout the webinar: The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) constellation has three polar-orbiting satellites that currently orbit and provide environmental monitoring across the globe. But how do users access the data online? This presentation will primarily focus on the CIRA SLIDER – JPSS Northern Hemisphere sector\, which has been available for users to access near-real-time satellite imagery online for several years. An online demonstration of the web application will be provided. Additionally\, JPSS training resources and materials will also be showcased to assist users in the interpretation of the imagery and products. \n\n\n\nThe VIIRS Blowing Snow RGB captures swaths of blowing snow across northwestern Alaska on 9 March 2026.\n\n\n\nBio: Torres is an RA3: JPSS Satellite Liaison who works at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA)\, collocated with Colorado State University (CSU). Torres liaisons between the National Weather Service (NWS) user community and research/training communities and focuses on JPSS products\, applications\, data access\, satellite training development\, and the collection of user feedback.
