The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) RISA has its next webinar scheduled for Sept. 10 at 10am AKDT (2 pm Eastern). Dr. David Driscoll from the Institute for Circumpolar Health Studies at the University of Alaska Anchorage plans to discuss how effective adaptations by northern residents to climate change require measurement and discussion of environmental effects and health outcomes at the local level. More than 60 participants representing eight Alaskan communities provided monthly surveys including observations on local weather, hunting and harvesting, food and water safety and general health and air quality. Dr. Driscoll will discuss the results of the surveys and the future implications and directions for this study.
