До 30 апреля 2014 г. проводится прием заявок на получение гранта на проведение полевых исследований на научных станциях Туулик и Барроу на Аляске в 2014 г. Станция Туулик является базой долгосрочных наземных и дистанционных исследований ландшафтов тундры и лесотундры. Станция Барроу также известна долгосрочными климатическими и ландшафтными исследованиями. Грант предусматривает возможность использования инфраструктуры станций, проживание, оплату проезда. Большинство участников заявки должны быть из России или Евросоюза.

The U.S. partners in INTERACT (International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic) announce a call for proposals for European-based research groups to conduct research at two Alaskan field stations: the Toolik Field Station and the Barrow Environmental Observatory. Access is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).

The support includes access to station facilities and support for travel and freight costs. The research should be conducted in 2014; both stations are open all year round. Eligibility is open to research groups where the group leader and majority of the group members are from EU Member State or Associated State, or from the Russian Federation.

To apply, the group leader must email a research plan and CV to INTERACT Transnational Access Coordinator Hannele Savela (hannele.savela@oulu.fi). Instructions for the research plan can be found on the call webpages. Evaluation of the proposals will be conducted by the INTERACT Transnational Access Board in consultation with the field stations. The evaluation will be based on scientific merit, feasibility and appropriateness. Applicants will be notified about the grant decisions by 3 June 2014.

Toolik Field Station In 2014, 30 person-days of access are available for research to be conducted at the Toolik Field Station. The support includes use of the station facilities, accommodation, and up to $9,000 for travel and freight costs related to the visit. The station is located 210 km south of Deadhorse and 600 km north of Fairbanks in Arctic Alaska. The field station is situated north of Gates of the Arctic National Park; the location allows scientists to access the Brooks Range, the Arctic foothills and the Alaskan Arctic coastal plain. Current research at the station includes the structure and function of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, the effects of climate change in the region, the feedbacks to global climate change through gas and hydrological fluxes, adaptations of plants and animals to the Arctic, and population-level changes in phenologies and distributions.

Barrow Environmental Observatory In 2014, 30 person-days of access are available for qualified applicants to conduct research on or near the Barrow Environmental Observatory. The support includes use of the station facilities, accommodation, and up to $9,000 for travel and freight costs related to the visit. Barrow is located at the northern tip of Alaska (USA) on the Arctic Coastal Plain on the coast of Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The adjacent Barrow Environmental Observatory comprises tundra, lakes, and wetlands reserved for scientific research including long-term environmental monitoring and habitat manipulation experiments. The extensive research history in the area and current research activities include foci on climate and atmospheric chemistry, ecosystem dynamics, plant/animal interactions and phenology studies, various experimental studies, coastal erosion and land-ocean connections.

Proposal submission deadline: Wednesday, 30 April 2014.
