It is open to everyone who supports the right of the Falkland Islanders to self-determination. The organisation works at national, business sector and individual levels. Key policy decisions are made by the Falkland Islands Development Board, which comprises representatives of each of the key economic sectors and FIG. FIDC works closely with different economic sectors to further their interests.
These activities have included employing an aquaculture specialist to explore the potential for fish farming in the Islands, appointing consultants to investigate the possibilities for expanded tourism facilities, and working with others in the Islands to add value to wool. Finally, FIDC is a key resource for individual companies, offering business development advice and providing loans and targeted grants. The FJMC has the following responsibilities: The mission of the FJMC is to ensure that the renewable marine, anadromous, and freshwater resources of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region are managed and conserved for the wise use and benefit of present and future generations.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute: More than 50 years later, in the context of the International Year , it was decided to build the King Baudouin station there. The Princess Elisabeth station, a CO2-neutral structure, signifies a resumption of the traditional Belgian presence in Antarctica. Also from a historical perspective, if one looks at the country's past activities on that continent, it is no surprise that Belgium is one of the 12 original participants in the Antarctic Treaty signed in Washington in Thematically the focus is on studies of long-term changes in the physical system including the marine system ocean and sea ice , the atmosphere and the terrestrial system glaciers and fresh water.
Geographically the focus is on the Euro-Arctic region, with special emphasis on Svalbard and the Greenland- and Barents Seas.

The collaboration will include joint research programmes implemented in Barentsburg, Ny-Alesund and Longyearbyen. The aim of the system was to implement process research modeling for predicting global changes. The FRCGC aspires to become a center of excellence in global-change research, and to actively contribute to international cooperation in science and technology. But meanwhile the geographical restriction to FRIS was widened and other ice shelves have been included in the investigations. FRISP started out as an European forum, but now welcomes any scientist working on ice shelves and related issues.
FRISP remains a focus on glaciology, but the scope is extended to include continental shelf oceanography, meteorology, and quaternary paleoclimatology to encourage discussion between these disciplines. Activities include freshwater and arctic science, science oceans initiative, fish habitat management, fisheries management, small craft harbours, corporate services, communications and regional senior management. GA plays a leading role in the quest for knowledge in a diverse range of national and international Antarctic research projects. This includes areas such as engineering in extreme environments, Antarctica as driver of and responder to climate change, connections between Antarctica and New Zealand, and human influences in and on Antarctica.
The goal of GAIM is to advance the study of the coupled dynamics of the Earth system, using as tools both data and models. GAIM emphasizes activities designed to expand upon the development, testing, and analysis of integrative data sets and models of those aspects of the Earth system where IGBP has the scientific lead. The Task Force must analyze current models and data, assess the capability of current models and experimental programs to resolve key questions, and advance and synthesize our understanding of the global biogeochemical cycles and their links to the hydrologic cycle and to the physical-climate system as a whole.
This is done both for natural systems and variability as well as in the context of anthropogenic perturbations. The GCDIS user community extends from global change researchers to other researchers, policy makers, educators, private industry, and private citizens. Through the GCDIS, these users are able to learn about the existence and location of relevant data and information resources, have key holding available in useful forms, and be assured of their quality and continued availability.
To meet the needs of WMO Members and partners in delivering services to users, the media, public, decision and policy makers, GCW provides authoritative, clear, and useable data, information, and analyses on the past, current and future state of the cryosphere. GCW includes observation, monitoring, assessment, product development, prediction, and research.
It provides the framework for reliable, comprehensive, sustained observing of the cryosphere through a coordinated and integrated approach on national to global scales to deliver quality-assured global and regional products and services. GCW organizes analyses and assessments of the cryosphere to support science, decision-making and environmental policy. The GDC also works to ensure beneficiaries of the Gwich'in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement are involved in training, employment and business opportunities created from these activities.
Our strong and successful joint venture partnerships are the key to fulfilling these goals. GEWEX is the core project in the World Climate Research Programme WCRP concerned with studying the dynamics and thermodynamics of the atmosphere, its interactions with the Earth's surface, and the effects on the global energy and water cycle. It is an advisory, research and survey institute in hydrogeology, geophysics, geochemistry, stratigraphy, glaciology, ore geology, marine geology, mineralogy, climatology, environmental history, air photo interpretration, and geothermic energy fields in Denmark and Greenland.
We study the history of the Earth and its characteristics, as well as the processes which occur on its surface and within is interior. We also investigate the many interactions which exist between the various parts of the system - the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and finally the biosphere. The GFZ, which currently has employees including scientists and doctoral candidates, is the national research centre for Earth Sciences in Germany. With an annual budget of 76 million Euros, our staff works in all the disciplines of the Earth sciences from geodesy to reengineering, as well as in the associated natural sciences and engineering topics.
As in any group project, quality varies. She will be involved with today's major polar research centers, studying oceanographic diversity and biological samples from polar waters. Changes in the extent of glaciers will affect sea level, and may lead to substantial changes in sediment and fresh water supplies to embayments and fjords. Previous attempts to estimate the runoff of all glaciers in the Arctic for a set of climate-change scenarios used a simple approach. Changes in the surface mass balance were calculated without dealing with the fact that glacier geometries will change.
Estimations also assumed that the rate of iceberg production at calving fronts would not change. Project has now ended and final reports are available. GOOS provides accurate descriptions of the present state of the oceans, including living resources, continuous forecasts of the future conditions of the sea, and the basis for forecasts of climate change.
This is achieved by organizing and transforming available environmental data into credible, science-based information products, delivered through innovative communication tools and capacity-building services targeting relevant stakeholders. The GRRB's mission is to conserve and manage renewable resources within the Gwich'in Settlement Area in a sustainable manner to meet the needs of the public today and in the future.
The Institute has a mandate to document, preserve and promote the practice of Gwich'in culture, language, traditional knowledge and values. The research programme revolves around the study of place-names and traditional land-use, ethno-botany, ethno-archaeology, genealogy, language and the replication of traditional material culture e. The education programme includes an annual Gwich'in Science Camp, a day on-the-land traditional knowledge and western science camp for senior high-school students. The objectives of the GTC are to: The GTK library maintains two bibliographic databases: GTK also oversees a geological museum.
Within ARCSS, the aim of HARC is to better understand the role of humans in the functioning of and interactions among the various physical, biological, and social components of the arctic system and the significance of changes in the arctic system for people in the Arctic and across the globe. The organization was established in response to campaigns calling for a total ban on all commercial whaling and sealing, and the even more radical ones calling for a total ban on the killing of marine mammals for any reason whatsoever. The task of the High North Alliance is to provide alternative information to these campaigns.
The organization's objective is to protect the rights of whalers, sealers, and fishermen to harvest renewable resources in accordance with the principle of sustainable management. The High North Alliance also works towards consolidating the knowledge and skills necessary for the ecologically sound management of marine mammal resources.
In addition to its own research programmes, provides logistical support to scientists from other organizations and maintains the all-year scientific station Teniente Jubany Also a national Antarctic mapping centre. IAATO creates tourism guidelines for members and collects data on tourism activities in the Antarctic. IAB provides and supports platforms for research in programs from ecology and ecosystems to molecular biology and genetics, including field stations, small- and large-animal facilities, and core laboratories for geographic information systems and DNA sequencing.

It is being developed as an over-arching strategy for conducting observations relating to climate and atmosphere, oceans and coasts, the land surface and the Earth's interior. ILTS owes its establishment to the achievements of Dr. Ukichro Nakaya, who was the first in the world to create artificial snow crystals. ILTS is now composed of 4 research sections: Scientists from each country are represented by a "national representative" and his substitute. The mission of the IMAU is to contribute to the basic science of the oceans, atmosphere and cryosphere.
To achieve this we try to maintain an open and stimulating research environment in which students and staff are inspired to give their best. In order to protect their interests, their land and their rights from outside forces the Innu people first organized themselves in under the Naskapi Montagnais Innu Association NMIA. Today the Innu Nation forms the governing body of the Labrador Innu.
The Innu Nation's mandate is to speak as one voice to protect the interests of the Innu people and to oversee all its political and business affairs. The Innu Nation is involved in on-going land claim and self-governance negociations with the Federal and provincial governments. The purpose of the Commission is to promote international cooperation and to coordinate programmes in research, services and capacity-building, in order to learn more about the nature and resources of the ocean and coastal areas and to apply that knowledge for the improvement of management, sustainable development, the protection of the marine environment, and the decision-making processes of its Member States.
IODP advances scientific understanding of the Earth by monitoring, drilling, sampling, and analyzing subseafloor environments. The Institute of Ocean Sciences has earned international recognition for its work in ocean sciences. Its more than scientists and researchers are dedicated to providing up-to-date information on all elements of oceanography, including fisheries and ocean research, environmental science and hydrography. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP and the World Meteorological Organization WMO to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts.
IPIECA is the only global association involving both the upstream and downstream oil and gas industry on environmental and social issues. The Joint Committee was responsible for scientific planning, coordination, guidance and oversight of the IPY. In performing its functions, it was supported by an International Programme Office. Its mandate is to continually improve the economic, social and cultural well-being of the Inuvialuit through implementation of the IFA and by all other available means.

Through a democratic process, Inuvialuit beneficiaries directly control IRC and its subsidiaries. That conference brought together over researchers from around the world to present and discuss progress in research on rapid environmental change in the Arctic. The resulting datasets and analysis products are being used to study the role of clouds in climate , both their effects on radiative energy exchanges and their role in the global water cycle. Since then, ISLSCP has played a key role in addressing land-surface processes, developing climate models, experiment design and implementation, and data set development.
The Society membership is open equally to all actively interested in promoting engineering and scientific progress in the fields of offshore and polar engineering. It is generously provided by the International Permafrost Association. Mental illness knows no boundaries — it affects all of us, from post-secondary students to NHL hockey players.
He was close with Manitoba Moose forward Rick Rypien, who struggled with mental illness and ultimately died in Over the past year, the LTC has expanded to satellite sites in Arborg, Steinbach, Selkirk and Thompson — areas identified as having the most need. As of today, there have been 65 applications to the new LTC in Thompson , while 48 students have already begun their training.
Through the partnership in Thompson, UCN is providing space for classes and an administrative assistant, storage, laptops and access to printing and photocopying — all of which are essential to helping the program run smoothly. Classes administered by the LTC are five months in length, though students can continue on if they feel they need additional training. The programs are provided at no charge to students, with costs covered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Department of State, two state attorneys generals, two foreign governments, and many nonprofit and government agencies.
