The Arctic Great Rivers Observatory (Arctic-GRO) project will assess river constituent (chemistry, isotopes, nutrients) fluxes and discharge in the Ob', Yenisey, Lena, Kolyma, Yukon and Mackenzie Rivers. These observations will be used to test hypotheses about the magnitude, controls and ecological significance of these fluxes, and will provide new information on inter-annual variability and trends in the major fluxes of constituents to the Arctic Ocean. By measuring the flux of water and constituents in these key rivers at the junction between the continents and the Arctic Ocean, it is possible to efficiently assess changes occurring across vast regions of the continents that may diagnose environmental change on land, and forecast imminent changes in circulation and biogeochemical processes in the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans. Monitoring the great arctic rivers is an essential component of any comprehensive Arctic Observatory program and is critical for understanding environmental change in the Arctic, a goal of SEARCH. The data collection will represent a pulse of activity within the IPY timeframe and will provide a legacy of data for future investigations. Arctic-GRO is based upon strong scientific collaborations among US, Canadian and Russian scientists. It also represents a major component of the Arctic Circumpolar Coastal Observatory Network (ACCO-Net), an overarching IPY initiative designed to link key coastal erosion monitoring sites established as part of the international Arctic Coastal Dynamics project with major arctic river sampling sites established as part of the NSF Freshwater Integration (FWI) study. The project will link with and extend the Student Partners Project, a science and education effort involving K-12 students and their teachers at each sampling site. Teachers and their students are educated in global change and in turn collect river samples of selected constituents at higher frequencies than would otherwise be possible, thereby improving the science.

北极大河观测站（Arctic-GRO）项目将评估鄂毕河、叶尼塞河、勒拿河、科雷马河、育空河和麦肯齐河的河流成分（化学、同位素、营养物）通量和流量。这些观测结果将用于检验有关这些通量的大小、控制和生态意义的假设，并将提供有关北冰洋主要成分通量的年际变化和趋势的新信息。通过测量大陆与北冰洋交界处这些主要河流的水通量和成分，可以有效评估大陆广大地区发生的变化，从而诊断陆地上的环境变化，并预测北冰洋和北大西洋的环流和生物地球化学过程即将发生的变化。监测北极大河是任何综合性北极观测站计划的重要组成部分，对于了解北极环境变化至关重要，这也是 SEARCH 的目标。数据收集将代表 IPY 时间范围内的活动脉搏，并将为未来的调查提供遗留数据。 Arctic-GRO 建立在美国、加拿大和俄罗斯科学家之间强有力的科学合作的基础上。它还代表了北极环极地海岸观测站网络 (ACCO-Net) 的主要组成部分，该网络是一项总体 IPY 计划，旨在将作为国际北极海岸动态项目一部分建立的主要海岸侵蚀监测点与作为 NSF 淡水一体化 (FWI) 研究一部分建立的主要北极河流采样点连接起来。该项目将与学生合作伙伴项目联系并扩展，这是一项涉及每个采样点的 K-12 学生及其教师的科学和教育工作。教师和学生接受全球变化方面的教育，然后以比其他方式更高的频率收集选定成分的河流样本，从而提高科学水平。
