2023 AMSS Abstract Book

for networking and collaboration. Sheyna Wisdom has moved to the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) so our team would like to reinstitute this fun and collaborative event and expand the area of discussion to all Alaskan waters. AOOS encourages marine researchers throughout Alaska to provide 1-5 slides that highlights cruise timing, location, duration, disciplines, vessel, and opportunities for bunk space or data collection. AOOS will provide appetizers and a cash bar (we are Federally funded, so sadly we can’t provide the same free drinks). Please send slides to Sheyna Wisdom at wisdom@aoos.org.

FORUM ON ALASKAN MARINE ECOACOUSTICS JANUARY 25TH | 6:30PM - 8PM | THE ANCHORAGE MUSEUM AUDITORIUM

This forum will explore how ecoacoustic methods can be applied for scientific discovery, artistic and musical creation, and community engagement. Focused specifically on Alaska marine science, the Forum will feature a panel of scientists and artists, convened by composer/sound artist/eco- acoustician, Matthew Burtner. The panel will discuss topics such as marine biophonic, sea ice and anthropogenic underwater noise, community engagement with ecoacoustics, art/science collab- oration, sonification of coastal data, marine habitat monitoring, among other topics. Participants will learn about varied techniques for incorporating sound into Alaskan marine science research along with broader impacts in convergent research. The event is part of the “Pass the Mic” Exhibition at the Anchorage Museum and will take place at the Anchorage Museum Auditorium in downtown Anchorage (within walking distance from the Dena’ina Convention Center) MOVIE NIGHT: FILMS ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THE ARCTIC INTEGRATED ECOSYSTEM RESEARCH PROGRAM 2016-2021 JANUARY 26TH | 5:30PM - 7:30PM | KENAKATNU ROOM 6 Movie Night! Join the North Pacific Research Board for a screening of films about the Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program. This multi-disciplinary program sampled the ocean in 2017-2019 during anomalously warm conditions and found profound changes in every aspect of the marine ecosystem. The program involved members of Arctic communities at every stage. Come aboard the research vessels and learn about how we did it, what we found, and why it matters. Let’s make movie stars of our colleagues and cheer their accomplishments. We’ll serve some fun snacks, too! See you there.

The films will also be screened continuously during the Symposium in the K’enakatnu 6 room.

THE PCCRC SYMPOSIUM JANUARY 27TH | 8AM - 12PM | NPRB/AOOS CONFERENCE ROOM

The presentations will describe the progress and results of eight current research projects sup- ported by the Pollock Conservation Cooperative Research Center (PCCRC). The symposium is open to AMSS attendees. A schedule of presentations will be available in mid-January.

ALASKA HABS RESEARCH: CURRENT STATE AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS JANUARY 27TH | 9AM - 12PM | KAHTNU ROOM 1 The Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) is hosting a workshop will focus on sharing the current state of HABs research in Alaska’s marine waters, followed by an in-depth discussion on the information gaps, future research goals and coordination needs to better understand HABs around Alaska. Outcomes of this workshop will be a better understanding of work currently being conducted, and a roadmap of HAB research activities.
