Scoping and Developing a Circum-Arctic Environmental Observatories Network (CEON)

环-北极环境观测网络(CEON)是一项国际研究工作，已成为增进对陆地北极内部的可变性和长期变化的了解的主要需要。Ceon自2000年以来一直处于开发阶段，作为国家、学科和现有网络之间的独立和多边派生实现。该提案支持美国参与开发和实施Ceon的国际规划工作。这项建议的目的是：确定Ceon科学实施战略的范围、制定和启动该战略；代表Ceon在代表多个学科、现有网络、国家、组织和利益集团的一系列重要会议、会议和讲习班上征求意见；召开由瑞典皇家科学院主办的著名北极研究人员国际讲习班；并建立一个临时科学指导委员会，通过在研讨会讨论的基础上起草科学实施战略，帮助指导和促进这些工作。科学实施战略将分发给PEER，然后在2004年北极科学高峰周(ASSW)上提交给北极研究人员论坛(FARO；CEON的上级组织)。Ceon的一个网站将宣传Ceon的发展，这也将在广泛分发的北极环境研究通讯和电子列表服务器上发布。可以预见的是，这些产品将为CEON的各个国际利益攸关方提供科学基础，以冻结自主资金，以支持他们参与CEON。该项目的更广泛影响包括在拟议的多机构计划中实施国际陆地观测平台，北极环境变化研究(SEARCH)，增加美国北极研究人员的国际合作机会，以及对与该项目科学管理有关的博士后和本科生人员进行教育。

Te Circum-Arctic Environmental Observatory Network (CEON) is an international research effort that has emerged as a primary need for advancing understanding of the variability and long-term change within the terrestrial Arctic. CEON has been in development since 2000 as an independent and multilaterally-derived realization amongst nations, disciplines and established networks. This proposal supports US participation in the international planning effort to develop and implement CEON. This proposal aims to: scope, develop and initiate a science implementation strategy for CEON; represent CEON and solicit input about CEON at a selection of key meetings, conferences and workshops representing multiple disciplines, existing networks, countries, organizations and interest groups; convene an international workshop of prominent Arctic researchers hosted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; and create an interim science steering committee to help direct and facilitate these efforts by building on discussions at the workshop to draft a science implementation strategy. The science implementation strategy will be circulated for peer before being delivered to the Forum of Arctic Research Operators (FARO; parent organization of CEON) at Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2004. A CEON website will advertise developments within CEON, which will also be published in widely distributed arctic environmental research newsletters and electronic list-servers. It is foreseen that these products will provide the scientific basis for various international CEON stakeholders to sequester autonomous funding to support their participation in CEON. Broader impacts of this project include the implementation of international, terrestrial observation platforms in the proposed multi-agency program, the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH), increased international collaborative opportunities for US Arctic researchers and education of postdoctoral and undergraduate personnel affiliated with science management of this project.
