International Collaboration to Achieve Circumpolar Synthesis and Integration

国际北极研究中心（IARC）的使命是通过与国际伙伴合作，规划、促进和开展尽可能高质量的北极研究，整合和综合北极环境变化知识，包括北极过程的全球反馈和影响。IARC追求的目标是减少北极系统各方面组成模式的不确定性，以及收集、分析和解释数据，以便与模式结果进行比较。在本次颁奖期间，IARC将专注于获取在以往工作中取得的成果，并展望其未来的作用，即通过建模和综合，作为国家和国际合作的焦点和催化剂，了解北极系统，并通过一系列创造性和充满活力的推广和教育计划，将由此产生的知识转移到更广泛的美国和国际社会。在此期间，IARC还将在新的管理下评估其组织结构，并牢固地建立其与更广泛的北极研究界的关系。

The mission of the International Arctic Research Center (IARC) is to integrate and synthesize knowledge of arctic environmental change, including global feedbacks and impacts of arctic processes, by planning, fostering, and conducting arctic research of the highest possible quality in cooperation with international partners. IARC has pursued a goal of reduction of uncertainty in component models of various aspects of the arctic system, as well as the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data against which to compare model results. During the present award, IARC will focus on capturing the gains made in previous work, and look to a future role in which it serves as a focal point and catalyst for national and international collaboration on understanding the arctic system through modeling and synthesis, and transferring the resultant knowledge to the broader US and international community through a series of creative and vibrant outreach and educational programs. During this period the IARC will also assess its organizational structure under its new management and firmly establish its relationship to the broader arctic research community.
