The International Study of Arctic Change (ISAC) Science Steering Group
announces release of the ISAC Science Plan. The plan was developed after
broad community input and outlines an international research program on
arctic environmental change.
The science plan provides background information on recent arctic
changes and frames science questions to guide integrated research. The
document includes discussion of ISAC's background; objectives and key
science questions; program components of observing, understanding, and
responding to arctic change; and near-term as well as long-term
implementation activities.
ISAC builds on existing efforts to develop an understanding of past,
present, and expected arctic change in order to carry new insights into
the public and the decision-making arenas. ISAC connects with national
and international efforts in basic and applied sciences.
The Science Plan is available for download on the ISAC website at:
http://www.arcticchange.org/. It will remain archived for future access,
under the 'Publications and Presentations' link in the left-hand
sidebar.
