U.S. Arctic Research Commission Report on Goals and Objectives for Arctic Research, 2009-2010

摘要

This is the U.S. Arctic Research Commission's (USARC's) present goals it has established for the nation's Arctic Research Program. In developing these goals, we have listened, widely. We are grateful for the advice we have received from Arctic residents, the American public at large, the State of Alaska, the academic community, federal agencies who manage our Arctic assets, and international partners. Since the basic goals we set here remain the same as those set in 2007, much work has begun at the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee to see that this research actually happens. What we present now urges an acceleration of that work, and new emphases to mesh with current national priorities related to energy and climate, ocean policy, health, national and homeland security, and keeping the U.S. competitive in the world economy.
