Workshop for ARCSS/OAII Biological Initiative in the Arctic: Shelf-Basin Interactions

提供资金赞助一个公开讲习班，以制订一项研究计划，将北冰洋大陆架与中央盆地的研究结合起来。北极系统科学（ARCSS）海洋-大气-冰相互作用（OAII）全球变化研究计划的一个目标是促进与理解全球变化影响相关的各种学科的合作研究工作的整合。研究已经证明了确定北极大陆架/海洋盆地相互作用以及北极大陆架和斜坡沉积物/水界面生物物质循环的重要性。研讨会将为感兴趣的科学家提供一个论坛，讨论和制定一个优先的科学计划，重点是以生物学为重点的系统方法来研究北极大陆架/盆地交换。

Funds are provided to sponsor an open workshop to develop a research plan for integrating studies of the Arctic Ocean shelves with the Central Basin. A goal of the Arctic System Science (ARCSS) Ocean-Atmosphere-Ice Interactions (OAII) global change research program is to foster the integration of various disciplines into cooperative research efforts that are relevant to understanding the effects of global change. Research has demonstrated the importance of determining Arctic continental shelf/ocean basin interactions and the cycling of biogenic materials at the sediment/water interface of Arctic continental shelves and slopes. The workshop will provide a forum for interested scientists to discuss and develop a prioritized science plan focusing on a biologically focused systems approach to shelf/basin exchange in the Arctic.
