ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The National Science Foundation's Arctic System Science Program (ARCSS) has
become a major focal point for synthesis studies of the Arctic. As part of
the focus on synthesis, the ARCSS Program has been working with the research
community to develop improved data and modeling approaches to advance
system-level, interdisciplinary understanding of the state of the Arctic and
the changes occurring in this system.
As part of this effort, the "Arctic System Synthesis: New Perspectives
through Data Discovery and Modeling" workshop, now taking place (2-4 April
2007) in Seattle, Washington, brings together approximately 50
representatives of the data provider and data user communities to identify
innovative approaches for uniting data management and assimilation, recent
developments in technology, and modeling activities that will advance
synthesis studies of the arctic system and broadly disseminate knowledge of
the Arctic. Perspectives from the public outreach and policy communities are
an integral part of the workshop discussions.
