Dear Colleague,
The publication "The Arctic Paleosciences in the Context of Global Change
Research-PARCS, Paleoenvironmental Arctic Sciences," published by the Earth
Systems History (ESH) Secretariat at the American Geophysical Union, is now
available.
"The Arctic Paleosciences" was developed through a dedicated workshop
sponsored by NSF in Boulder, CO, on 8-9 October 1998. The draft document was
subsequently reviewed by workshop participants and others in the arctic
paleoscience community. It is intended to build on the Paleoclimates from
Arctic Lakes and Estuaries (PALE) component of the ESH and Arctic System
Science (ARCSS) Programs to delineate research directions and an effective
management structure that will enable the community's contribution to a more
complete understanding of the Arctic's paleoenvironmental history and how
arctic environmental processes are related to the global environment.
Copies of the plan are available for downloading on the ARCUS web site at
http://www.arcus.org/parcs/fr_parcs.html
and are also available in printed form from the ESH office at the address
