Arctic Coastal-Dynamics

The Arctic Coastal Dynamics (ACD) project started in 1999 as an initiative of the International Permafrost Association (IPA) and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC). ACD quickly developed a vibrant international community of scientists carrying out research in the Arctic. Significant contributions to International Conferences on Arctic Research Planning (ICARPs), to the International Polar Year (IPY) and to Arctic Observing (SAON, AOS) were the result. The State of the Arctic Coast report in 2012 was the culmination of much of this work and demonstrated how the project seeks to integrate research across disciplines and stakeholder groups. The year 2015 marks the beginning of a new phase of activity, initiated by a group of young researchers and beginning with the meeting described below. We welcome the participation of new researchers and groups in the project.
