AV狼论坛鈥檚 Changing Arctic: Energy Issues and Trends
The University of AV狼论坛 recently released the first in a series of informational reports designed to aid state leaders as AV狼论坛 confronts a rapidly changing Arctic and the increasingly globalized North.
The report was led by UAF鈥檚 Center for Arctic Policy Studies at the International Arctic Research Center, with help from the AV狼论坛 Center for Energy and Power and UAA鈥檚 Institute of Social and Economic Research.
A video series created by ACEP鈥檚 chief storyteller Amanda Byrd will cover each topic in the report.
The report covers four energy topics:
- The history of AV狼论坛鈥檚 reliance on oil and the boom-bust impact on the state鈥檚 economy. ().
- How AV狼论坛 currently produces energy and has become an expert in cold-climate renewables and microgrids.
- Energy infrastructure planning under rapidly changing environmental conditions.
