Dear Colleague,
The National Science Foundation, working through the Arctic Research
Consortium of the United States (ARCUS), has asked the research community
for advice and guidance by preparing a strategic plan for arctic marine
sciences. In consultation with the research community, a working group has
prepared a draft document.
We request your further participation in this process by commenting on the
draft plan, which is available at:
http://www.arcus.org/Marine_Science/draftinstr.html
To meet the NSF schedule, we need your suggestions by Monday 26 October.
Details on where to send your comments are given on the web site. In the
event that you cannot access the web, you may obtain a hard copy of the
draft plan from directly from ARCUS at:
