SusTech 2025 is hosting talks on Sustainability topics.
“Unmet needs and unintended consequences: Considerations for the application of sustainable technologies in the Arctic”
with Jennifer Rachels, Alaska Engagement Lead, Idaho National Lab
Date/Time: Tuesday September 24th, 6:00 – 7:00 pm PDT
Abstract:
The application of sustainable technologies in the Arctic context requires consideration of weather extremes, the effects of permafrost thaw, and a thorough understand of microgrid management in remote regions. Many of these conditions can be replicated by modeling and other forms of data analysis. However, there are Arctic-specific challenges that aren’t part of weather or policy outcome models. Some aren’t represented in data sets at all, but are critical requirements for any project. This talk will outline some of those cultural, logistical, and community capacity factors you may wish to consider when working in the Arctic.
