In light of rapid changes taking place in the Arctic system, the following report from the National Research Council of the National Academies of Science presents the range of questions that remain unanswered from this unique system.

Research on the physical, biological, and social Arctic system is a crucial contributor to understanding the rapidly changing Arctic and the effects of those changes on the entire globe. A deeper understanding, together with stronger science-policy connections, can help inform an evolution toward sound policies and management.
