SUMMARY:CN Forum: Putting the Arctic in Plain Sight
DESCRIPTION:
 Join Dr. Lawson Brigham as he discusses the Arctic 
 and its critical stage of global importance.\n
 \n
 	A 
 changing Arctic has long drawn the 
 attention of environmental scientists and those 
 across the world who are interested in supply 
 chain logistics, community sustainability 
 and geopolitics. These dynamics present opportunity 
 for some, but unfamiliar challenges 
 for many. \n
 \n
 	The discussion will cover research 
 needs, current dynamics that affect people 
 living in the Arctic and across the world 
 and how the research of Dr. Brigham and the scholars 
 at MSU addresses the needs of the Artic.\n
 \n
 	Registration 
 and breakfast begins at 
 8:00 a.m. with an 8:30 a.m. program start.\n
