Hauri Lab

In collaboration with Indigenous knowledge holders, communities, agencies, NGOs, industry, and other researchers, we bring together multiple knowledge systems and scientific tools to deepen understanding of climate–ocean–ecosystem interactions in the Arctic. Our work is guided by the principles of co-production and equity, centering relationship-building and shared decision-making.

We aim to co-develop adaptation strategies that are locally grounded and relevant to those most affected by rapid Arctic change. To support this, we bring together Indigenous observations with data from ships, moored sensors, autonomous platforms, and regional biogeochemical models, ensuring that both Western science and Indigenous Knowledge inform research and action.

Our research builds on IARC's core values:

Grounded in place to conduct collaborative, useful, actionable science

While living in Alaska, we build relationships with local and international Arctic communities and agencies to respond to the society's needs.

Innovation and expertise to understand the Arctic

We develop innovative technology based on data gaps and science needs.

Diverse and deeper understanding to address challenges of Arctic change

We are observationalists and modelers, and foster collaboration across knowledge systems and disciplines.

We live and work in the unceded homelands of the Lower Tanana Dena. We acknowledge this not only because we are grateful to Alaska’s First Peoples who have been in deep connection with their land and water for generations but also in recognition of the historical and ongoing legacy of colonialism. We are committed to improve equity in our lives and scientific institutions we work with.
