A workshop on Hydrological Modeling of Fresh- water Discharge from Alaska's Arctic Coast was held at the International Arctic Research Center (IARC), University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) on 7-8 October 2004 (http: //www.iarc.uaf.edu/work- shops/hydro_mod_workshop_04/). This workshop was sponsored by the Minerals Management Service (MMS)/U.S. Department of the Interior and Coastal Marine Institute/UAF, hosted by the IARC. One of the objectives of this workshop was to bring modelers and observationalists together to discuss strategies for state-of-the-art hydrological modeling north of the Brooks Range
