The Permafrost Discovery Gateway (PDG) invites you to join our monthly webinar series on Thursday April 24, 2025 at 9:00 am AKT.
Navigating Drinking Water Resources in Remote Alaska: Challenges, Solutions, and Support
Speaker: Noah Tsigonis, Arctic Outlook
Abstract: Accessing safe and reliable drinking water has long been a challenge for Alaska’s remote communities. While numerous agencies offer resources to support water system operators and community leaders, navigating these options can be overwhelming—especially for those new to the field. This webinar will explore the key barriers to accessing drinking water resources and discuss practical strategies for overcoming them. Join us as we break down available support systems, share real-world insights, and identify solutions to strengthen water access in Alaska’s most remote regions.
The
Permafrost Discovery Gateway is a
and
Google.org funded intelligent data management platform created to support knowledge-generation in the Arctic permafrost region. The project is aimed to enable community-preparedness by creating big
geospatial
data products of permafrost thaw features from remote sensing imagery, developing AI tools to identify and track information within the big
geospatial
data, and building user-friendly online tools to enable scientific discovery, policy, and to empower Arctic communities facing permafrost thaw.
