WISNIEWSKI: The mission of
the Arctic Domain Awareness
Center

3
00:00:05.105 --> 00:00:10.105
is to develop and transition
technology solutions, innovative
products, education programs,

4
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:18.680
to enhance the capabilities of
maritime situational awareness

5
00:00:21.454 --> 00:00:26.454
And capabilities for crisis
response to challenges in the
arctic.

00:00:26.726 --> 00:00:30.363
WELKER: One of the technologies
that's become very popular

7
00:00:30.363 --> 00:00:35.201
in our ability to measure the
environment, whether it be a
marine system or a land-based
system,

8
00:00:35.201 --> 00:00:39.039
are isotrope-enabled spectrometry

9
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:44.039
This allows us to sample the
environment in real time, in terms
of its properties

10
00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:47.714
regarding the air, and also
the properties of water.

11
00:00:47.714 --> 00:00:52.714
Because those are things that are
critically important, for instance, to
transportation and their safety in
the arctic.

12
00:00:52.952 --> 00:00:57.057
WISNIEWSKI: The real time
element is really an important
part of this.

13
00:00:57.057 --> 00:01:00.994
The technology we're developing
will actually enable the
decision-maker.

14
00:01:00.994 --> 00:01:04.664
So that an incident commander,
for example, will be

15
00:01:04.664 --> 00:01:09.664
provided updates and reports,
and be notified of a crisis
situation

16
00:01:10.637 --> 00:01:13.973
and be able to then pull all this
information.

17
00:01:13.973 --> 00:01:17.243
Looking at things globally, looking
at lessons learned,

18
00:01:17.243 --> 00:01:20.780
if Alaska experiences a lot of
these changes first,

19
00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:25.780
and you can really come up with
ways to model or mitigate crisis
situations,

20
00:01:26.786 --> 00:01:31.357
and then other areas experience
it after you,

21
00:01:31.357 --> 00:01:36.357
then you can transfer that knowledge,
so you have a global transferability
capability.
