Why?
| Project Objective: | The RACArctic team will synthesize information from completed and ongoing regional studies conducted by Japan, United States, and Norway to examine how variability and trends in advection, temperature, sea-ice dynamics, and ocean acidification in the Subarctic to Arctic transition zone may affect future marine ecosystems of the Pacific and Atlantic Arctic, their resource management, and socio-economics. |
| Call Objective: | Through this Call for Proposals on Arctic Observing and Research for Sustainability, the Belmont Forum seeks to bring together integrated teams of natural scientists, social scientists, and stakeholders to develop projects that utilize existing Arctic observing systems, data sets and models to evaluate key sustainability challenges and opportunities in the Arctic region across one or more of four possible themes. |
