March 14, 2013 SUMMARY General Communication, Inc., here proposes to acquire one television station in Anchorage (KTVA) and two low-power stations in Juneau (KATH) and Sitka (KSCT) with the goal of attracting viewers with first-rate local programming. This small transaction will create large benefits for Alaska, which suffers from a stunning lack of broadcast competition, local news diversity, and technological innovation. GCI will invest heavily in local programming, more than doubling KTVA’s news offerings, hiring dozens of full-time news employees, and launching Alaska’s first high-definition local news. GCI has a 30-year history of bringing the benefits of competition to Alaska, investing more than $1 billion in the state to expand a variety of communications services, and forcing incumbents to improve their own services along the way.

Ecological consequences of present and future change 1 <1>Chapter 1. Introduction John E. Hobbie <1>Description of the Arctic LTER site and project Toolik, the field site of the Arctic Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project, lies 170 km south of Prudhoe Bay in the foothills of Alaska’s North Slope near the Toolik Field Station (TFS) of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (Fig. 1.1).[INSERT FIGURE 1.1 HERE] The project goal is to describe the communities of organisms and their ecology, to measure changes that are occurring, and to predict the ecology of this region in the next century. Research at the Toolik Lake site began in the summer of 1975 when the completion of the gravel road alongside the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, now called the Dalton Highway, opened the road-less North Slope for research. This book synthesizes the research results from this site since 1975, as supported by various government agencies but mainly by the U.S.

  • North Slope Regional Food Security Workshop
    North Slope Regional Food Security Workshop: How to Assess Food Security from an Inuit Perspective: Building a Conceptual Framework on How to Assess Food Security in the Alaskan Arctic November 2013. North Slope Regional Food Security Workshop Participants and Observers. Photo: Carolina Behe. 2013 On November 13th and 14th, 2013 Traditional Knowledge (TK) Experts came together to evaluate and validate preliminary findings of the Inuit Circumpolar Council – Alaska’s (ICC-AK) food security project, How to Assess Food Security from an Inuit Perspective: Building a Conceptual Framework on How to Assess Food Security in the Alaskan Arctic. The North Slope food security workshop is an important part of the overall project methodology, allowing for greater engagement of Arctic villages and a preliminary validation process. TK experts were identified by their respective Tribal Councils and peers, to validate and evaluate the information that was previously documented through expert interviews and offer further insight on drivers of food security and insecurity. The following report provides an overview of the workshop proceedings. This report reviews the information discussed during the North Slope Food Security workshop, as well as information gleaned from our other project activities to date. This report will be one component of several that will contribute to our final assessment tool and definition of Inuit food security and drivers of food in/security. This report should be cited as: Behe, Carolina. Inuit Circumpolar Council - Alaska.
