The National Science Foundation has announced a new program entitled
"Study of the Northern Alaska Coastal System" (SNACS), a contribution to
the Study of Environmental ARctic Change (SEARCH).
This solicitation seeks proposals focused on the arctic coastal zone of
Alaska addressing one or more aspects of two coupled themes:
- How vulnerable are the natural, human, and living systems of the
coastal zone to current and future environmental changes in the Arctic?
- How do biogeochemical and biogeophysical feedbacks in the coastal
zone amplify or dampen change locally and at the pan-arctic and global
levels?
Particular emphasis should be placed on understanding how coastal
ecosystems (including human societies) respond to change originating
from outside of the strictly defined coastal region, and also on how
responses in the coastal zone feed back to the larger arctic and global
systems.
This solicitation draws on the community planning embodied in the
following science plans, but should not be considered a replacement for,
or the full implementation of, either plan.

The research efforts resulting from this competition are expected to be
a partial contribution to the interagency Study of Environmental Arctic
Change (SEARCH).
