• RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY on Global Change Research in the Arctic - DUE 1 October 1999.
  International Arctic Research Center and Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research, University of Alaska Fairbanks
  
  Proposals are invited on topics of global change and its effects in the Arctic (detection; interactions and feedbacks; paleoclimates, arctic haze, ozone and UV; contaminants; impacts and consequences of change). The proposal deadline is 1 October 1999 and awards will be made in January 2000.
  
  The International Arctic Research Center (IARC) and the Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research (CIFAR) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks announce the availability of funding for global change research in the Arctic. The IARC is a new international research center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, established jointly with Japan. The mission of the IARC is to provide an environment that will nurture multidisciplinary research by integrating and synthesizing past, present and future studies in global change. CIFAR is the NOAA-UAF Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research; it is combining the resources of its Arctic Research Initiative (ARI) with those of IARC under this announcement. The goal is to develop a focal point for a pan-Arctic synthesis of global change in which researchers from many different institutions throughout the United States and the rest of the world participate to combine their research results. Further details on IARC can be found on its web page at http://www.iarc.uaf.edu/ and on CIFAR at http://www.cifar.uaf.edu/.
