ALPACA-whitepaper-30Nov2018  

We are accepting community comments on this document via email: uaf-alpaca@alaska.edu  through 30 January 2019, after which we will post the final whitepaper on this site.   Thanks to all involved in developing this document for the hard work on this important topic, and we look forward to working with you to make progress in understanding wintertime pollution in the North.

We presented the ALPACA project, which fits in the context of the larger PACES umbrella project to the  Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) in a webinar that they subsequently posted to their YouTube channel.   You can find out more about this webinar on the IARPC event site or through the video below.   Thanks for you interest in the project.

The Fairbanks Daily Newsminer wrote up a nice article on our research efforts that appeared on the front page.

The article is accessible online.

News of our workshop was highlighted in a UAF / GI press release.   Read all about it:    https://news.uaf.edu/89917-2/

We had a great workshop in Fairbanks.   Below is the photo of the on-site participants.   We had 44 atmospheric scientists, 11 of whom were international at the meeting in Fairbanks and further participation online, including two remote presentations.   Stay tuned for meeting reports and a white paper describing research efforts on these topics.
