Arctic Council Directed
- International Polar
Year (IPY) 2007-2008
The International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008
will be an intense, internationally coordinated campaign of research
that will initiate a new era in polar science. IPY 2007-2008 will
include research in both polar regions and recognize the strong links
these regions have with the rest of the globe. It will involve a wide
range of research disciplines, including the social sciences, but
the emphasis will be interdisciplinary in its approach and truly international
in participation.
- Arctic Human Health Initiative
(AHHI)
The website for the Arctic Human Health Initiative (AHHI), a
project of the Arctic Council which is an eight nation intergovernmental
forum for sustainable development and environmental protection in
the Arctic. Circumpolar in scope, the AHHI will expand human health
research in the areas of infectious diseases, the human health effects
of anthropogenic pollution, the human health impact of climate change,
and telehealth innovations.
- International Polar Year Data and Information Service (IPYDIS)
This site helps researchers and data users identify data access mechanisms, archives, and services. It also provides information and assistance to data managers on compliance with standards, development of a union catalog of IPY metadata, and other data management requirements for IPY. It provides a general communication forum for all matters related to accessing, managing, and preserving IPY and related data.
Organizations
- Canadian International
Polar Year Web Site
The Canadian Steering Committee (CSC) is supported
by the Canadian Secretariat, which is hosted at the University of
Alberta , and works in concert with the Canadian Polar Commission
and the IPY Federal Working Group to coordinate Canada ’s IPY
initiatives.
- US Arctic Research Committee
The committee's principal duties are to develop
and recommend an integrated national Arctic research policy and assist
in establishing a national Arctic research program plan to implement
the policy. They also facilitate cooperation between the Federal Government,
State and local governments, and other nations with respect to arctic
research, both basic and applied.
- US International
Polar Year 2007-2008
A National Science Foundation site, it is designed to provide researchers, educators, the news media and the general public with information about federally supported IPY research, expeditions, resources, events and related activities.

Young
Researchers Network, University of Alaska, International Polar Year
A group of young graduate students and post
doctoral fellows associated with the University of Alaska. The interdisciplinary
group operates as a volunteer network to promote the International
Polar Year (IPY) through education and outreach aimed at the general
public and students of Alaska. Their motto: "Bringing science
off the campus!"

Workshops, Conferences and Reports
- International
Polar Year Data Management Workshop Report
The report of the workshop that was held to
develop a strategy for the management of data from the International
Polar Year. The IPY will be the largest international polar science
project ever conducted, and it is considered essential that its legacy
be fully available for future generations. (PDF size: 1,598kb)
