DoD environmental programs have particular relevance overseas where access, sustainability of operations, and mission support rely on the cooperation of host nations. Given the importance of both the built and natural infrastructure to DoD in Alaska, SERDP and ESTCP has long supported research in the Arctic. This session will focus principally on terrestrial Arctic research goals and objectives and the importance of interaction with other nations in understanding this important and dynamic environment.
