ARCUS was formed in the 1980s to ensure Arctic research had a place in NSF priorities. Eliminating NSF divisions disregards decades of citizen advocacy for science that impacts us all. www.science.org/content/arti...

“The American public needs to understand that you can’t just turn a science switch off and then turn it back on again,” said Rick Spinrad. Great reporting by @sachimulkey.bsky.social on the current dismantling of US scientific research capacity: what it means for now--and for future generations.

7/ If you care about evidence-based decision-making in the Arctic and beyond, now’s the time to pay attention. #ArcticResearch #ArcticScience #Alaska #NOAA #OceanObserving

6/ These systems took decades to build. Losing them now would be a serious setback to science, safety, and community-led coastal stewardship.

5/ This isn’t just an Alaska issue. U.S. Arctic research informs global climate models, shipping routes, disaster preparedness, food security, and more.

4/ Cuts to @NOAA could jeopardize weather reporting that's literally life-saving for boaters, hunters, and people living in remote parts of the state. 📎 alaskapublic.org/news/alaska-...

Potential NOAA cuts could jeopardize weather reporting that's crucial for boaters and hunters
A program that provides coastal and ocean data to improve mariners' safety would shut down if the federal agency loses over a quarter of its funds.

3/ One such program currently under threat: the Alaska Ocean Observing System. This network provides real-time weather and ocean data vital to Alaska’s coastal communities.

2/ Right now, major U.S. Arctic science and observing programs are being defunded. These aren’t just "nice-to-haves"—they’re core to U.S. national safety, situational awareness, and environmental & resource management.

1/ If you’re not actively keeping up with U.S. #ArcticResearch, you might not realize just how much of it relies on federal funding—and how quickly things are changing. 🧵

Recent cuts to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services could end programs that are “critical” for commercial fishing safety in Alaska, according to the Alaska Marine Safety Education Association.

Federal job cuts endanger ‘critical’ safety programs for Alaska’s commercial fishermen
Alaska’s Republican U.S. senators said they had appealed to the health secretary to reverse some of the cuts to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
