Collaborators

ELOKA is being developed in partnership with several projects that are representative of the types of communities and projects ELOKA expects to serve. They include international projects, projects with diverse data and data needs, and data with varying accessibility. These projects are similar in that they either involve working with Arctic communities and residents in order to collect local observations and traditional knowledge (LTK or community-based monitoring), or they fulfill an advisory role within the ELOKA community. The projects differ in the regions and cultures they represent, whether they are currently working with data, the types of data with which they are working, and the interests, needs, and goals for their project. Visit the Collaborator pages for a description of each project.

ELOKA is also collaborating with a number of organizations including the Inuit Circumpolar Conference (Greenland), UNEP-GRID: Arendal (Norway), and the World Data Center (U.S.). We look forward to linking with a number of other proposed International Polar Year (IPY) projects as well. A list of these collaborators is available on the Full Proposals for IPY 2007-2008 Activities Web page, section 1.6.
