NNA Named an Endorsed Action of the UN Ocean Decade

In 2017, the United Nations (UN)  declared 2021-2030 the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (Ocean Decade), recognizing an opportunity to reverse the decline in ocean health while continuing to rely on the ocean for our ever-increasing needs, particularly under a changing climate. The Ocean Decade was officially launched January 1, 2021.

The NNA-CO hosted a Broader Impacts Network (BIN) Meeting on April 27, 2022, focused on effective ways to use social media to broaden the reach of research and connect with Arctic communities. A panel of communication experts shared insights on culturally relevant messaging and actionable communication strategies, followed by networking and breakout discussions. Participants learned strategies for using social media in research communication and left with resources to incorporate into their own communication plans.

This virtual workshop was a collaboration between the Arctic Data Center, ELOKA, and the NNA Community Office, focused on the presentation of open science principles and best practices. Open science was explored through the lenses of research reproducibility, Indigenous data sovereignty, and community data management. The first half of the four-hour session focused on FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible), ethical data practices, and community data management, and the second half provided participants with the opportunity to explore data organization and principles of “tidy” data structures through hands-on and small group activities.
