Arctic Transportation Network

The Alaska Transportation Network (ATN) is an effort to improve oil and gas transportation on Alaska’s North Slope, the area north of the Brooks Range. This involves developing tools to use in accurate weather forecasting, modelling environmental conditions for tundra travel, and management of ice roads and pads.

Many departments at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, including the Geophysical Institute, the International Arctic Research Center, the Institute of Northern Engineering, and the Water and Environmental Research Center are partners in the effort.
