The proposal for the international training program "Processes and impacts of climate change in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Canadian Arctic"(ArcTrain) has been designed with the aim to train a new generation of scientists for addressing complex issues related to climate change in the Arctic and subarctic. In this domain, research and training of highly qualified personnel require access to front-line science and dedicated infrastructure for high-performance computing, remote-sensing observation, remote field-work and oceanographic expeditions, in addition to multidisciplinary expertise in geosciences, biology, physics and chemistry. Hence the monitoring, modelling and prediction of changes at the ice-ocean-land interfaces require partnership and strong group efforts at the international level. Here, building on existing collaborations, it is proposed to develop and formalize an international research training network composed of a main node in Germany, at the Centre for Marine Sciences MARUM of the University of Bremen, with a consortium of eight Canadian institutions coordinated from the GEOTOP at the Université du Québec à Montréal. The ArcTrain proposal relies on its international components but also on interdisciplinary training. To complement doctoral training on topics defined at the forefront of research in ice-ocean dynamics, ArcTrain aims at developing professional skills through a number of activities: (a) Three training workshops, one on climate-ice-ocean modelling and proxy data treatment and interpretation, one on fieldwork skills in the eastern Canadian Arctic, and one to address socio-political aspects of climate change in Arctic and subarctic areas; (b) Participation in a research expedition on a Canadian or German ship, either for a "floating university" summer school or as part of an expedition organized within the program; (c) 4-12 months residency in a Canadian or German partner institution. The long term goal of ArcTrain is to implement a Canadian-based international school for graduate studies in the domain of ice-ocean dynamics in order to help with forecasting, to foster scientific understanding that will inform policy, and to contribute to sustainable development of the Arctic and subarctic realm.********************************

关于“北大西洋和加拿大北极地区气候变化的过程和影响”国际培训方案的建议旨在培训新一代科学家，以解决与北极和亚北极地区气候变化有关的复杂问题。在这一领域，高素质人员的研究和培训除了需要地球科学、生物学、物理学和化学方面的多学科专门知识外，还需要有第一线的科学和专门的基础设施，以进行高性能计算、遥感观测、远距离实地工作和海洋考察。因此，对冰-海洋-陆地界面变化的监测、建模和预测需要国际一级的伙伴关系和强有力的集体努力。在这方面，建议在现有合作的基础上，发展和正式建立一个国际研究培训网络，由不莱梅大学海洋科学中心德国的一个主要节点和蒙特利尔魁北克大学GEOTOP协调的八个加拿大机构组成的联合体组成。ArcTrain的建议依赖于其国际组成部分，但也依赖于跨学科培训。为补充关于冰-海洋动力学研究前沿确定的专题的博士培训，ArcTrain旨在通过一系列活动发展专业技能：（a）三个培训讲习班，一个关于气候-冰-海洋建模和代用数据处理和解释，一个关于加拿大东部北极地区的实地工作技能，一个关于北极和亚北极地区气候变化的社会政治方面;（B）参加加拿大或德国船上的研究考察，参加“浮动大学”暑期学校或作为方案内组织的考察的一部分;（c）在加拿大或德国伙伴机构居住4-12个月。ArcTrain的长期目标是建立一所位于哥伦比亚的国际学校，在冰海洋动力学领域进行研究生学习，以帮助预测，促进科学理解，为政策提供信息，并为北极和亚北极地区的可持续发展做出贡献。
