IASC aims to facilitate international and interdisciplinary Arctic science. To meet this aim, it allocates funds each year for Cross-Cutting Activities – activities that are supported by at least two of the five IASC Working Groups (WGs). The objective of this WG-spanning program is to promote system-scale activities within IASC and to encourage the WGs to explore interdisciplinary activities, in particular across the natural and social sciences. In addition, IASC allocates also funds to Working-Group-specific projects.
IASC is happy to announce that it will support, in whole or part, the following activities for 2023-2024:
Cross-Cutting:
Atmosphere Working Group (AWG)
| Air Pollution in the Arctic: Climate, Environment, and Societies (4th PACES Open Science Meeting) |
| The influence of the lower stratospheric polar vortex on cold air outbreaks under climate warming |
Marine Working Group (MWG)
Social and Human Working Group (SHWG)
| Podcast Initiative |
| Exploring fishers knowledge and opinions in emerging Arctic crab fisheries - An Icelandic case study |
| Online representations of the Arctic region |
Terrestrial Working Group (TWG)
| Herbivory Network meeting at the Canadian High Arctic Research Station |
| Co-creating research agendas: toward a holistic, community-led terrestrial-monitoring transect in SW Greenland |
Updated information about, and outcomes from, these activities will be posted on the IASC website. Further questions on IASC cross-cutting activities should be directed to the IASC Secretariat.
