Arctic Environmental Information Website

Providing the latest research results, knowledge, and news on the Arctic collected across the world, as well as integrated and comprehensive information updated on the legal policies and economic trends related to the Arctic to a wide range of stakeholders.

Arctic Sea Ice Information Center

Developing our previous information dessemination of mid-term Arctic sea ice prediction, Arctic Sea Ice Information Center provides new predictions for mid-term and short-term sea ice, and short-term wave prediction in the Arctic Ocean as well as creating oil spill hazard map in the ice sea, providing navigation simulations, and responding to feedbacks in close cooperation with Strategic Goals that lead advanced research.

Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II

ーTowards a New Horizon of Arctic Researchー
project

The Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II (ArCS II) is a national flagship project for Arctic research and a successor to the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability (ArCS) project that operated from fiscal 2015 to 2019. The project will take place over approximately four and a half years, from June 2020 to March 2025, primarily through the collaboration of three institutions: the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), and Hokkaido University.
See each content or the brochure for detailed information of the project.
