International Arctic Research Center

该奖项的目的是向NOAA转移资金，以支持阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学的国际北极研究中心（IARC）。预计国际研究机构将大大加强在北极的研究，并促进与许多其他组织的研究。国际癌症研究机构确定了八个广泛的主题作为其计划的框架：(I)当代变化的探测，（II）过去变化的古气候和古环境重建，（III）影响变化的相互作用和反馈，（IV）北极地区的大气化学，(V)变化的影响和后果，（VI）太阳对全球变化/空间天气预报的影响，（VII）构造活动引起的气候变化，（VIII）区域尺度上(I)-(VII)的整合。

ABSTRACT9908882CALDERThe purpose of this award is to transfer funds to NOAA for the support of the International Arctic Research Center (IARC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. IARC is expected to greatly enhance research in the Arctic and to facilitate research with many other organizations.The IARC has identified eight broad themes as the framework of its program: (I) Detection of contemporary change, (II) Paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions of past changes, (III) Interactions and feedbacks that affect change, (IV) Atmospheric chemistry of the arctic region, (V) Impacts and consequences of change, (VI) Solar influences on global change/space weather prediction, (VII) Climate change caused by tectonic activities, and (VIII) Integration of (I)-(VII) on a regional scale.
