Arctic Observing Summit AOS2018

Arctic Observing Summit 2018
The Business Case of a pan-Arctic Observing System
Davos, Switzerland
24 - 26 June 2018


The Arctic Observing Summit (AOS) is a biennial summit that aims to provide community-driven guidance for the design, implementation, coordination and sustained operation of an international network of Arctic observing systems. The AOS provides a platform to address urgent and broadly recognized needs of Arctic observing across all components of the Arctic system. It fosters international communication on and coordination of long-term observations aimed at improving understanding of and response and adaptation to system-scale Arctic change. It is an international forum for optimizing resource allocation through coordination of and exchange among researchers, Indigenous organizations, the public, private and not-for profit sectors, and all others involved or interested in the Arctic. The AOS is a contribution to the Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) initiative of IASC and AMAP.

Based on the outcomes of AOS2016, the theme for AOS2018 is The Business Case for a pan-Arctic Observing System. The Summit will be broken down into three sub-themes and six sub-themed working groups:

1          The Need for the Observing System
WG 1: Societal benefits

2          Implementing and Optimizing a Pan-Arctic Observing System
WG 2: Optimization
WG 3: Funding and support models
WG 4: Data

3          Operating Observing Systems and Networks
WG 5: Use of data and information derived from observing systems
WG 6: Success Stories

Arctic community members are encouraged to submit short statements, present posters, and participate in the Summit. More information on AOS2018 is available here.
