The melting Arctic is creating new trade, economic and operational opportunities — but also new challenges that could threaten the U.S. border and the region’s fragile ecosystem. Researchers at Johns Hopkins APL are pooling their expertise and established experience in materials, modeling, AI and sensing to develop the technology and knowledge for a sustainable and lasting foothold in this rapidly changing region.

Michael Connelly, the chief strategist for classified policies and programs at Johns Hopkins APL, has been elected vice chair of the FFRDC/UARC Security Council.

In continued support of the Climate TRACE coalition, APL used a combination of machine learning, satellite imagery and localized emissions data to advance its accurate, scalable and easily configurable greenhouse gas monitoring framework for road transportation.
