Development of a NSF-ARCSS Program for Investigating Russian Arctic Land-Shelf Environmental Systems (RASE)

摘要 OPP-9526071 早期题为“确定北极陆架相互作用的研究优先事项”的研讨会的福尔曼建议将与该奖项一起实施。 北极陆架是调节全球气候的水和冰通量的关键区域，而这些通量部分受到流入北冰洋的淡水径流的控制。 将召开一个美国科学家研讨会，编写一项科学计划，以实施全球变化研究计划，解决人类适应和俄罗斯北极陆架生物地球化学通量问题。 该科学计划将在俄罗斯举行的第二次研讨会上提出，以便与俄罗斯科学家就国际合作研究计划中可能实现的研究重点达成共识。 这些研讨会产生的合作研究计划将有助于美国科学家进入北极圈的大部分地区，而这对于研究全球变化过程的西方研究人员来说是以前无法进入的。

ABSTRACT OPP-9526071 Forman Recommendations of an earlier workshop entitled "Defining Research Priorities for Arctic Land-Shelf Interactions" will be implemented with this award. The arctic shelves are critical areas for the flux of water and ice that modulate the global climate and those fluxes are controlled partly by the freshwater runoff into the Arctic Ocean. A workshop of U.S. scientists will be convened to write a science plan for implementation of a global change research program addressing human adaptions and land-shelf biogeochemical fluxes in the Russian arctic. The science plan will be presented at a second workshop in Russia in order to achieve a consensus with Russian scientists on the research priorities that may be achieved in a collaborative, international research program. The collaborative research program resulting from these workshops will facilitate access for U.S. scientists to a vast part of the circumarctic that has previously been inaccessible to western researchers studying global change processes.
