Collaborative Research: A Workshop to Draft the Implementation Plan for the Arctic in Rapid Transition (ART) Initiative - Winnipeg, October 2010

北极快速过渡倡议(ART)的目标是更好地了解陆地-海洋-大气系统中多方面的气候过程。该倡议是对上一次国际北极研究规划会议(ICARP)的响应，该会议确定了在整个北极系统科学领域开展综合活动的必要性。随后，建立了ART计划，分为两个阶段。第一阶段于2010年初完成，起草了一项科学计划，这是在阿拉斯加费尔班克斯国际北极研究中心举办的为期三天的研讨会的成果。讲习班汇集了来自9个县的50多名科学家，概述了在ART倡议范围内需要考虑的优先事项。该科学计划已提交给北冰洋科学委员会(AOSB)，并由国际北极科学委员会(IASC)在格陵兰努克举行的年度会议上批准。随着科学计划的编写、审查和更广泛的北极科学界的认可，倡议的第二阶段现在可以开始。将于10月18日至20日在加拿大温尼伯的淡水研究所举办一次讲习班，根据科学计划中确定的研究优先事项起草执行计划。执行计划将侧重于海洋系统内的联系，包括陆海门户、陆架海和深海的贡献。还将探索一系列时间尺度，从古气候到目前在北极观察到的快速变化。与科学计划一样，实施工作将几乎完全由来自五个不同国家(美国、加拿大、挪威、德国和瑞典)的早期职业科学家组织和执行，这使得ART倡议成为一项独特的国际努力。

The goal of the Arctic in Rapid Transition (ART) Initiative is to better understand multifaceted climate processes across the land-ocean-atmosphere system. The Initiative began in response to the last International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP), which identified the need for synthesis activities across Arctic system science. Subsequently, the ART program was established and has two phases. The first phase was completed in early 2010 with the drafting of a science plan that was the product of a three day workshop hosted at the International Arctic Research Center in Fairbanks, Alaska. The workshop brought together more than 50 scientists from nine counties to outline the priorities to be considered within the ART Initiative. The science plan was presented to the Arctic Ocean Science Board (AOSB) and endorsed by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) during their annual meeting in Nuuk, Greenland. With the science plan written, vetted and endorsed by the broader Arctic science community phase two of the Initiative can now begin. A workshop will be held at the Freshwater Institute in Winnipeg Canada from October 18 - 20th to draft an implementation plan based on the research priorities identified in the science plan. The implementation plan will focus on linkages within the marine system, including contributions from land-ocean gateways, shelf seas, and the deep ocean. A range of time scales will also be explored, from Paleoclimates to the rapid change currently being observed in the Arctic. As with the science plan, the implementation effort will be organized and executed almost entirely by early career scientists from five different nations (U.S., Canada, Norway, Germany, and Sweden) making the ART Initiative a unique international effort.
