The Arctic Visiting Speakers Series (AVS), managed by the Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) with funding from the National Science Foundation Division of Arctic Sciences, funds researchers and other arctic experts to travel and share their knowledge in communities where they might not otherwise connect. Speakers cover a wide range of arctic research topics and can address a variety of audiences including K-12 students, graduate and undergraduate students, and the public.

The AVS program is proud to announce that from 7-9 February 2011, Dr. Daniel White will be traveling from Fairbanks, Alaska to Homer, Alaska to present several programs on water resources. His presentations will concentrate on climate change in relation to water resources, and how that will affect human infrastructure and water management.

Dr. White will present to advanced sciences classes at West Homer High School on 8 February. He will give three presentations to the students and be available to answer questions on the subject. The evening of 8 February, he will present a lecture titled, "Homer, Water, and Climate" to the community of Homer at the Islands and Oceans Visitor Center. These presentations are hosted by the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. For more information on the community lecture, please go to:
