A Symposium and Workshop, Entitled Federal Reserved Lands inNorthwest Alaska: Needs and Opportunities for Long-term Research and Environmental Monitoring

该项目计划于1987年9月23日至26日在阿拉斯加州安克雷奇举行的美国科学促进会北极分会年度会议期间举办一次综合专题讨论会-讲习班。专题讨论会-讲习班的主题涉及对阿拉斯加西北部联邦保留和管理的土地进行长期研究和监测的需要和机会。1980年的《阿拉斯加国家利益土地保护法案》（ANILCA， P.L. 96-487）建立了广泛的联邦保留土地，其中大部分被认为是在北极地区，根据1984年的《北极研究和政策法案》（ARPA， P.L. 98-373）的定义。这些联邦管理土地的存在为集体规划和开展与评估和了解全球变化、资源利用和保护有关的研究提供了机会，并为当地居民提供了教育和培训机会并使其参与其中。会议将邀请代表机构、大学、居民、私人和公共利益团体的受邀参与者参加，并利用本次美国科学促进会会议的参与者。讨论的主题包括物理和生物环境、环境监测的方法以及从地方、公众和机构的角度研究的观点。将出版一份综合专题讨论会发言和讨论以及讲习班分析结果的出版物。这个项目直接关系到《北极研究和政策法》的规划和执行阶段，特别是关于资源利用和开发以及利用北极作为自然实验室的问题。

The project plans to conduct a combined symposium-workshop as part of the annual meeting of Arctic Division, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Anchorage, Alaska, September 23-26, 1987. The subject of the symposium-workshop relates to the needs and opportunities for long-term research and monitoring on the federally reserved and managed lands in northwestern Alaska. The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA, P.L. 96-487) established extensive tracts of federally-reserved lands, large areas of which are considered to be in the Arctic as defined by the Arctic Research and Policy Act of 1984 (ARPA, P.L. 98-373). The existence of these federally administrated lands offer the opportunity to collectively plan and conduct research related to the assessment and understanding of global change and resource utilization and conservation, and to provide educational and training opportunities for and involvement of local residents. The meetings will involve invited participants representing agencies, universities, residents, private and public interest groups, and draw upon the participants at this AAAS Conference. Topics to be discussed include the physical and biological environments, approaches to environmental monitoring and views of research from local, public, and agencies perspectives. A publication synthesizing the results of both the symposium presentations and discussions and workshop analyses will result. This project is directly related to the planning and implementation phases of the Arctic Research and Policy Act, and particularly on questions of resource utilization and development and the use of the Arctic as a natural laboratory.
