Forecasting Hornfisk catches based on citizen science data
Mark Payne and his team at DTU have produced a new climate service, forecasting catches of Hornfisk based on data collected through a citizen science program. As more data is collected, they will investigate how differences between years are related to annual differences in sea temperature and currents, an to climate change. The figure below shows how catch rates for hornfisk change over the course of the year, peaking in May.

Blue-Action Yamal 2040 Series hosts its second workshop
Stakeholders and scientists developed scenarios of possible futures for the Yamal-Nenets region, Arctic Russia, during a two-day workshop held in Potsdam, 22-23 March 2018. The workshops series is led by the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS), in cooperation with Foresight Intelligence and the Primakov National Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Science (IMEMO), within the case study 5 of the Blue-Action WP5.
The case study looks at the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug: a region with substantial ongoing and planned petroleum and shipping activities. At the workshop stakeholders from business, NGOs, media, and academia co-developed three different scenarios as to what the region could look like by 2040. The Yamal scenarios were developed through structured group communications, incorporating diverse insights including: climate predictions; environmental, social, and cultural concerns; economic opportunities; and political and legal developments. By using the Foresight Methodology, stakeholders engaged in an interactive process which enabled mutual learning and allowed participants to constructively address cognitive biases, so that they could reflect on alternative developments in the future. At the third workshop in September 2018, stakeholders will learn how to use the developed scenarios in their decision-making to better adapt to the uncertain changes in the future of the Yamal region.
