Arctic Sea Ice Road Maps

First-Order Priorities

Research and development

Version published: 
  • Determine whether snowmaking is effective in the Arctic.
  • Include better representations of snow in climate models (Holland et al. 2021).
  • Analyze available field data to better understand snow redistribution in the Arctic (Holland et al. 2021).
  • A comprehensive assessment of the potential co-benefits and risks of this approach is needed.

Enabling conditions

Version published: 
  • A multilateral governance framework addressing ice management research is needed, followed by regulation for specific approaches (Argüello and Johansson 2022).
  • Further development of what priorities look like in different places for different actors will be needed.

Engagement

Version published: 
  • Public engagement, education, and town halls about all aspects of the approach need to be developed and implemented in parallel with research in order to determine whether this approach can be implemented. 
  • Follow core engagement principles identified by the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx) advisory committee (Jinnah et al. 2024):
    • Start engagement efforts as early as possible.
    • Include social scientists with engagement expertise on research teams during the research design process.
    • Don’t presuppose what communities will be concerned about.
    • Develop a plan to be responsive to community concern.
