Arctic Interactions/Arctic Systems Science

美国北极研究联盟（Arcus） 成立于1988年，是一个由美国学术机构组成的联盟， 与北极的研究兴趣，以加强和推进 北极科学满足国家需求。 与会者将 制定北极相互作用研究行动计划， 国家科学基金会北极系统的一部分 科学倡议。 就优先项目达成科学共识， 将通过各种方式制定如何执行这些建议 会议和大型研讨会。 努力将被组织起来 围绕五个广泛的主题：痕量气体的交换，北极气候 变率，水文循环变化，变化对 陆地和淡水生态系统以及综合和 北极系统科学一体化。 结果将 公开.

The Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS) was formed in 1988 as a consortium of American academic institutions with arctic research interests for strengthening and advancing arctic science to meet national needs. The participants will develop a research action plan on arctic interactions as a component of the National Science Foundation's Arctic Systems Science initiative. A scientific consensus on priority items and how they should be implemented will be developed through various meetings and a major workshop. The effort will be organized around five broad topics: exchange of trace gases, arctic climate variability, hydrologic cycle changes, efforts of change on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems and the synthesis and integration of arctic systems science. The results will be published.
