The WIHAH conference is bringing together Alaskan, U.S., and

produced. This conference will consist of expert speaker and poster
presentation sessions, along with selected innovative technical
demonstrations.
This circumpolar conference is identified as an official event in
conjunction with the U.S. Chairmanship of the Arctic Council, as an
endorsed project of the Arctic Council Sustainable Development Working
Group. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation is partnering

Arctic Research Commission; U.S. the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention; the U.S. Department of State; and the U.S. Department of
