| Scope |
The Arctic region and surrounding circumpolar region is the key area
for the study of global change because the anthropogenic impact is
projected to be the largest in this area due to the complicated
feedback processes of the nature. A number of international and
interdisciplinary research projects have been conducted for the
studies on the atmosphere-ocean-land system under the auspice of the
International Polar Year (IPY) Project. In order to understand the
feedback processes occurring in the Arctic and to project the global
warming in the future, we need to establish the intense
observational network and to exchange the knowledge and information
by combining the different scientific communities under the common
interest of the Arctic. The objective of the session is to exchange
our knowledge on the observational facts and to deepen our
understanding on wide range of natural sciences related to the
Arctic and the circumpolar region. |
