If you would like to find out 'who is doing what' in Arctic research and
monitoring, and/or inform others of your activities in Arctic science,
you may be interested in the AMAP Project Directory:
This public domain resource was set up to assist the Arctic Monitoring
and Assessment Programme (AMAP) to identify monitoring and research
projects that might be relevant to its assessment activities (for more
information about AMAP, see http://www.amap.no).
The on-line database currently includes information about some 200-plus
projects/programmes of Arctic research/monitoring, throughout the
circumpolar Arctic area. Whilst a few information fields are directed at
AMAP needs, this database is by no means restricted to 'AMAP
environmental monitoring projects.' Projects registered to date also
cover such fields as biological and biological effects studies, climate
change research, UV/ozone, geology, oceanography, remote sensing, data
management, mapping and GIS, laboratory studies, resource exploitation,
socio-cultural research projects, etc.
Please feel free to take a few minutes to check out the AMAP PD database,
and if you would like to add information about your own work you are
most welcome to do so. The PD includes a simple to use on-line
registration system that is specifically designed to allow information
to be cut and pasted in from available electronic documents (project
proposals, etc.), it includes only a few mandatory information items
so you can be as brief or as detailed as you like.
Any comments you may have about the system and suggestions for its
future extension are also very welcome. Please address these to:
