Data, Research & Institutional Integration Highlights from Southeast Alaska & UAS Key Examples • Southeast Alaska GIS Library (2006 – ) • Research Themes (2009 -): – Ecosystem Function and Change in an Interlinked Glacier – Terrestrial - Marine System – Resilient Cultures, Vulnerable Species • Alaska Coastal Rain-Forest Center (2010 -) Data Integration www.seakgis.alaska.edu To promote the use of geographic data to further research and improve management of public resources Provide a framework for coordinating the acquisition and sharing of geographic data among the public, researchers, educators, and managers. Provide a forum for discussing regional data standards, future data needs, and opportunities for collaboration. Research Integration Theme Research Integration Theme Ecosystem Function and Change in an Interlinked Glacier - Terrestrial - Marine System Identify drivers of change, links, and feedbacks in this system Identify key parameters to study change Identify range of variability in key parameters Make predictions (model) future changes Understand downstream impacts on ecosystem services 215 km3 yr-1 2x GOA 870 km3 yr-1 (410 km3 yr-1 from glaciers) 7x GOA 402 km3 yr-1 Hood et al. 2010 Institutional Integration
