About

James Overland is an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, and an affiliate professor at the University of Washington, in Seattle. Leschi Council talk, March 5


Overland’s interests are scientific support for decision makers on climate and ecosystems in the Arctic and sub-Arctic. He leads projects on atmospheric dynamics, Arctic changes and historical climate, sea ice, and ecosystem impacts. Overland was a lead author for the Arctic Report Card annual summary, a recent Arctic Assessment for the international Arctic Council, and was a Lead author to the 5th IPCC Assessment Report.


He works with NOAA biologists on endangered species and fisheries management.


Having traveled to Arctic as a student in the late 1960s, he has since seen the Arctic change to a different place with loss of sea ice, temperature rise, and global impacts. He has received the International Arctic Award, the NOAA Distinguished Career and Communication Awards, and has over 300 science publications.
