Arctic-related Program foundations

Dr. Carlson is the founding director of the UAF Homeland Security and Emergency Management program, which has both an undergraduate and graduate degree. The practitioner-based program focuses on those who either desire or are currently working within the homeland defense, homeland security and or emergency management enterprise. He is also the founding director of CASR and as such helped create the tie between interdisciplinary academic and research scholarship for the growing diversity of security and resilience related concerns such as human, national, climate and energy security. 
 

Dr. Carlson is also the founding and now co-principal investigator of the USNORTHCOM/ALCOM Arctic Defense and Security Orientation (ADSO) program started in 2014. ADSO is the primary educational program responsible for baselining DOD knowledge of the Arctic region through an operational focus.
