Established in 1999, IARC supports Arctic research, coordination, and communication to help the nation and the world understand, prepare for, and adapt to the impacts of climate change in the Arctic and beyond.
We analyze, synthesize and provide Arctic climate information, including Arctic Ocean hydrographic information for scientists, decision-makers, and the public
We support and coordinate Arctic System Modeling, by providing a nexus for model validation and assessment and by exploratory development of new component modules
We serve as an Arctic Climate Science Coordination Center through international project offices, secretariat functions, workshops, and collaborations with international scientists and institutions.
