IPY Collaborative Research: Is the Arctic Human Environment Moving to a New State?

国际极地年北极观测网络ARC 0638408该项目是北极观测网络的一部分，作为国际极地年的一部分启动，并将实施北极环境变化研究（ARGEF）计划的第一阶段人类因素优先事项。这些优先事项的目标是确定知识，这将有助于人们应对环境变化。这些优先事项包括：（1）在现有数据的基础上建立一个综合的泛北极人文观测系统;（2）建立利益相关者网络，以确定相关的观测和预测，并帮助了解北极系统的动态;并且，在本发明中，（3）开发并将模型应用于泛北极数据库，以促进我们对环境变化的理解，并确定可以在第二阶段人类-尺寸观测系统该项目将重点关注可能涉及气候-人类相互作用的四个领域：海洋哺乳动物狩猎;石油，天然气和矿产开发;旅游业;渔业。第五个项目的重点是人类与环境变化相互作用的社会成果指标。作为北极观测网络的一部分，该项目旨在促进物理、自然和社会科学的综合分析。

ABSTRACTINTERNATIONAL POLAR YEARARCTIC OBSERVATION NETWORKARC 0638408This project is part of the Arctic Observation Network, initiated as part of the International Polar Year, and will implement phase one human dimension priorities of the Study of Arctic Environmental Change (SEARCH) program. These priorities are directed toward the goal of identifying knowledge that will help people respond to environmental change. The priorities include: (1) developing an integrated pan-Arctic human dimension observation system based on existing data; (2) developing stakeholder networks to identify relevant observations and predictions, and to help understand the dynamics of the Arctic system; and, (3) develop and apply models to a pan-Arctic database to advance our understanding of environmental change and to identify data gaps that could be filled in a Phase Two human-dimensions observation system. The project will focus on four arenas likely to involve climate-human interactions: marine mammal hunting; oil, gas, and mineral development; tourism; and fisheries. A fifth project focus is on indicators of social outcomes of human interactions with environmental change. As part of the Arctic Observation Network, the project will be designed to foster integrated analysis across the physical, natural, and social sciences.
