Keynote Speech 1 / Mar.2
Science supports Arctic Policy-making

Masao Fukasawa

Research Counselor/ Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology,  Research Professor/ National Institute for Polar Research

Profile:
Have worked to promote WCRP(GOOS) and GEOSS. Member of Monitor and Evaluation Committee of GEO (2010-2015) Director general of Research Institute for Global Change JAMSTEC (2009-2014). Project Director of ArCS (2015-2020).

Keynote Speech 2 / Mar.3
Positioning of contemporary Ainu within the global Indigenous movement

Kanako Uzawa

Ph.D. Candidate at UiT Arctic Univeristy of Norway

Profile:
Kanako Uzawa is a Ph.D Candidate at the Arctic University of Norway where she focuses on urban Indigeneity in Ainu communities in Japan, and was engaged as a Visiting Researcher at the Research Faculty of Media and Communication at Hokkaido University, Japan in 2016, where she contributed to collaborative research and education on multifaceted articulations of Indigenous knowledge. Kanako spent her childhood and youth both in a local Ainu community, Nibutani, Hokkaido, and the urban city, Tokyo. She is a member of the Association of Rera in Tokyo where she learned Ainu songs and dances from elders and became a cultural performer as well as an advocate for the Ainu community on the international arena. This encouraged her to pursue an MA in Indigenous Studies at the Arctic University of Norway where she focused on comparative research between Norway and Japan regarding ILO C169, the Indigenous Tribal Peoples Convention. This led to an internship in the Project to Promote ILO Policy on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples (PRO 169) at the International Labour Organisation, Geneva Switzerland.

Keynote Speech 3 / Mar.4
Waste, Culture, and a 'Theory of Everything'
– One Alaskan's Perspective on the Tipping Point.

Lynn E. Zender

Executive Director/ Zender Environmental Health & Research Group

Profile:
Dr. Zender's 1999 engineering dissertation focused on the unique institutional, jurisdictional, infrastructural, and socio-cultural issues that tribes face in implementing environmental programs. That knowledge was employed in founding Zender Environmental Health Group, a non-profit that primarily assists 200+ remote and roadless Alaska Native villages in addressing a plethora of singular and serious waste management challenges. Work includes a successful rural job training program that employs cultural values and peer mentoring in achieving high retention and placement rates, and research for the Arctic Council on best waste practices for small & remote Arctic communities. She is heavily involved in multiple statewide policy initiatives, including development of a collaborative rural hazardous waste backhaul network and introduction of a product stewardship program. In her 25-year career, Dr. Zender has worked with over 140 tribes and tribal consortia and visited over 55 Alaska Native communities, affording her a privileged perspective on the "tipping point" and its meaning.

Keynote Speech 4 / Mar.5
Marine and Coastal Technology for Sustainable Development of the Arctic

Sveinung Løset

Director of SAMCoT, Professor/Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

Profile:
Dr. Sveinung Løset is since 1995 professor of Arctic Marine Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He is Adjunct Professor at the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), and in 2005 he was appointed honorary doctor of St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University, St. Petersburg, Russia. In 2004 he received Statoil’s Excellence in Research Award, and in the 2017 POAC Founders Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Professor Sveinung Løset.
Currently Dr. Løset is dean of research and innovation at the Faculty of Engineering, NTNU. For the period 2011-2019 he led the Centre for research-based Innovation, Sustainable Arctic Marine and Coastal Technology (SAMCoT). Professor Løset has also been Member of ISO WG8 Arctic Offshore Structures Standard, Technical Panel Deputy Leader.
Professor Løset has been a pioneer within Arctic Marine Engineering. He established this research field in Norway due to needs he foresaw coming with the increased offshore activities in the Arctic; in particular the Barents Sea. At the time he started his research in the late 1980’ies there were no systematic observations and monitoring of the physical environment in the Barents Sea. As an example, the design basis for the industry with respect to icebergs was just based on sporadic observations of opportunity; no proper data for engineering purposes. In his research, Dr. Løset has addressed various aspects of how sea ice, icebergs and icing affect and govern operations and design of ships and structures in Arctic Marine environment. His research encompassed field-work, laboratory investigations and numerical modelling. He has published more than 70 international peer reviewed journal papers and more than 170 international conference papers.

Keynote Speech 5 / Mar.6
The Outset of The Synoptic Arctic Survey (2020-2021)

Øyvind Paasche

Chair / SAS Scientific Steering Committee (SAS SSC)
Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research and Norwegian Research Center AS (NORCE)

Profile:
Øyvind Paasche is with the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research and NORCE Climate and is an established scientist with 20 years of national and international experience. He has a long-term interest in the Arctic working with organizations like the University of the Arctic. He has published around 30 studies in international peer-reviewed journals, co-edited a cross-disciplinary book called The New Arctic published in 2015. He has also co-authored a book on how the climate system works called What is Climate? (in Norwegian). He was also a contributing author to the 4th IPPC report (The Physical Science Basis). Paasche has both been the project manager and partner in several international projects, including Ocean Outlook (2016-2019), Advanced Climate Education and Research (2018-2020) and Seasonal Forcasting Engine (2018-2021). He is part of the team running Advanced Climate Dynamics Courses (ACDC) and also the Chair for the Scientific Steering Committee for the Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS).
