International Arctic Coastal Network (IACN) retreat in Mystic, Connecticut | 16—21 October 2022

The IACN retreat brought together 42 researchers from 22 different research institutions located in eight different countries to focus on the unprecedented climate and land use change issues impacting Arctic coasts and the communities located there. Researchers from the United States, Austria, Canada, Portugal, Germany, United Kingdom, Poland, and Russia brought a wide diversity of perspectives on the issues being faced along Arctic coasts. The majority of the attendees were graduate students or early career researchers.

Permafrost Coastal Systems Network Data Portal

Visit the PerCS-Net portal at the Arctic Data Center to discover datasets related to Arctic coastal research.

Permafrost Coastal Systems Network VizSpace

The PerCSNet data visualization space developed with AXIOM Data Science includes a number of datasets that show geotagged coastal imagery, current and past sea ice conditions, and near real-time environmental conditions. We will continue to populate the VizSpace with existing datasets from the Arctic Data Center portal, other national and international data repositories, as well as help ingest previously unpublished datasets.
