The state of Alaska and Arctic in general have experienced thousands of earthquakes every year, including historical major events that have disrupted and severely damaged infrastructure and lifeline networks. Given the accelerating environmental, ecological, and social changes as the Arctic climate warms, including changes in soil properties, it is critical to understand how infrastructure and society respond to seismic events. Seismic assessments of infrastructure, post-earthquake recovery, and future planning must simultaneously consider natural environment, built infrastructure, and social systems. Resilient infrastructure linked with social systems is crucial to the state of Alaska and beyond, which will impact the regions' economic competitiveness, national security, and residents' safety and health. This international workshop will bring experts from different disciplines and perspectives from the united states and around the globe to collectively envision future research needs and action items to enhance seismic resiliency of Arctic at the intersection of natural, built, and social environments. This includes over 50 researchers, stakeholders, and decision makers from the U.S., internationally, and from Alaskan Indigenous communities to exchange knowledge, experience, expectations. 

The workshop organizing committee is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all. This includes respectful treatment of everyone regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, age, body size, race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, level of experience, political affiliation, as well as any other characteristic protected under state or federal law.
