Exploring the user-producer interface of weather and sea ice information for Arctic marine mobilities: a dedicated session at the Ninth International Congress on Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS)

Abstract

At the International Congress on Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS IX) in Umeå, 8–12 June 2017, we organised a session to raise awareness and to involve other Arctic social scientists in the PPP-SERA agenda. The session focused on the user-producer interface of weather and sea ice information for Arctic marine sectors. In particular, we intended to discuss the complexities of actors, information needs, information systems and infrastructures, funding structures, data management approaches and applications of weather and sea ice prediction services in the Arctic.
