Functions Web-based mapping tool Analyze and visualize
environmental information Prepare for, respond to, assess impacts
from hazardous incidents or conditions Increases communication,
coordination, and efficiency Website (launched for public use July
31, 2012) https://www.erma.unh.edu/arctic Environmental Response
Management Application (ERMA )
Slide 3
Uses of ERMA Purpose is to integrate and synthesize
environmental data into a single interactive map via a Web
interface from anywhere Data visualization- Not a data management
system or data archive for everything ORR does ERMA Data goes
across ORR spectrum from spill to NRDA and Restoration (ERD)
Response (24 hours) (ARD) Restoration - Recovery (Years to Decades)
(NMFS/ Partners)

Subsistence and Traditional Knowledge in ERMA A series of
communications. 1) Major stakeholder workshop (Anchorage, AK), 2011
2) Northwest Arctic Borough, (Kotzebue, AK), 2012 All 11 Villages
Participated 3) North Slope Borough (Barrow, AK), 2012 All 8
Villages Participated 4) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013
(Wainwright/Barrow) 5) Inuvialuit Region (Edmonton, AB), 2013
Slide 11
Stand Alone Arctic ERMA In the Arctic, limited communications
infrastructure could be a major hindrance to effective incident
response Stand Alone functionality allows the set-up of ERMA in a
command post or remote location without Internet Financial support
provided by BSEE for development Completed, and ready for field
testing. Testing onboard USCGC Healy Arctic Shield drill/cruise
Sept 7- 21 st, 2013
Slide 12
Arctic Shield 2013 Field Test Recovery of Spilled Oil in Arctic
Ice Sept. 2013 onboard USCG Icebreaking Cutter HEALY Test Area:
Waters North of Pt. Barrow Objectives: Search above and below an
ice flow, detect spilled oil, produce data to be used to plot the
safest course to the spilled oil, Deploy a brushed skimmer to
recover the spilled oil and monitor the recovery operation (above
and below the ice) to ensure complete recovery. Evaluate use of
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV),
Skimmer deployments, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV), Ruttar Radar
System, and ERMA.
Slide 13
Next Steps for Arctic ERMA Continue finding mechanisms for
working with the Arctic communities and incorporate traditional
knowledge Developing best practices for data sharing with partners
Data sharing agreements and data management Continue to test
sharing of data and leveraging Arctic Collaborative Environment
(ACE), AOOS, GINA, and others Work toward a polar view ACE
partnership? Improvements following Stand Alone Arctic ERMA field
test and ensuring re-syncing with web-based ERMA site.
