Scope

The Rapid Arctic Transitions due to Infrastructure and Climate (RATIC) initiative assumed the role of the T-MOSAiC Infrastructure Action Group during the 2019–2021 MOSAiC Arctic Drift Expedition. The action group will collaborate with T-MOSAiC to identify and promote activities and synergies that lead toward sustainable Arctic infrastructure, including those that: 
  • Monitor the consequences to natural terrestrial systems of unusual climate sea-ice, atmosphere, and ocean changes during the MOSAiC ice-drift expedition.
  • Observe and monitor consequences to the built environment, including, roads, runways, railways, pipelines, and indigenous, village, and urban infrastructure. 
  • Examine the consequences of climate and infrastructure changes to Arctic social systems.
  • Begin developing an Arctic infrastructure observing network, with a focus on coastal and near-coastal social-ecological systems in ice-rich-permafrost environments. 
RATIC was born with the goal of promoting sustainable Arctic infrastructure as a key research theme requiring a collaborative multidisciplinary approach involving scientists, local communities, governments and industry.
