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, to be held 2-4 April 2007
in Seattle, Washington, will bring 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 will be an integral part of the workshop
discussions.
