DESCRIPTION: This presentation will highlight past and recent changes in cl
 imate and weather events and affects on indigenous communities. Examples i
 nclude warming in the arctic\, decreasing ice cover and permafrost\, erodi
 ng coastlines\, wildfires\, floods and droughts\, and impact on First Food
 s such Manoomin (wild rice)\, medicinal plants\, and animal relatives. Inc
 reased variability in day-to-day weather has been noted in the Arctic\, in
 creasing the challenge of reliable forecasting traditional methods which r
 ely on place-based observations. We will explore a few elements of traditi
 onal science of the Iñupiat people as evidenced in the descriptions of wea
 ther and ice in the Iñupiaq language. Aspects of this knowledge\, such det
 ermining weather changes and impending storms will be compared to current 
 approaches to weather and climate forecasting. New tools will be reviewed\
 , such as Smart Ice and SIKU which may reduce the hazard of travel on thin
 ning ice.\n	\n	Dr. Bob Rabin is a research meteorologist with National Ocean
 ic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at the National Severe Storms Lab
  in Norman Oklahoma and an Honorary Fellow at the Cooperative Institute fo
 r Meteorological Satellite Studies University of Wisconsin-MadisonHe is an
  active member of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AIS

 tor at Iiisaġvik College (Itqiaġvik\,Alaska)\, the Bureau of Indian Affair
 s (BIA) Water Resources Training Program\, and the Native Youth Community 
 Adaptation Leadership Congress in the U.S.. Bob has been engaged in learni
 ng the Iñupiaq language and is enrolled in the Iñupiaq Studies Program at
