High-latitude ecosystems are warming faster than anywhere else on Earth. Understanding how climate change affects this region, from reduced ice cover to permafrost melt to wildfires, is critically important to developing accurate global climate models and good policy. Yet data from this remote region is scarce. The Arctic Climate Research Hub aims to develop partnerships among Yale researchers, Indigenous knowledge holders, Tribal nations, and rural Alaskans to integrate Traditional Ecological Knowledge with Arctic ecology and climate science. Equitably co-producing knowledge with local and Indigenous communities has been listed as a crucial goal by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the National Science Foundation. The Arctic Climate Research Hub is committed to collaborative, solution-oriented research that advances community climate resiliency and Arctic ecology.
