The Arctic Observation Network Social Indicators Project (OPP0638408) is intended to contribute to the development of the Arctic Observation Network and to the science goals of the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) in two ways: (1) develop and make available to the science community relevant datasets; and (2) identify gaps in the existing observation system and recommend appropriate actions to fill those gaps.

The SEARCH Implementation Plan identified the following arenas of human activity likely to involve climate-human interactions: (1) subsistence hunting; (2) tourism; (3) resource development and marine transportation; and (4) commercial fishing. This project seeks to develop and assess datasets in these four areas.

Again drawing from the SEARCH Implementation Plan priorities, the project also seeks to develop and assess datasets measuring social outcomes. In collaboration with the Arctic Council's Arctic Social Indicators working group, this builds on the recommendations of the Arctic Human Development Report by focusing on datasets in six areas: (1) material well-being; (2) cultural continuity; (3) education; (4) health and demography; (5) ties with nature; and (6) fate control.
