Arctic Environmental Information Website

ArCS II established and operated the “Arctic Environmental Information Website” as an integrated information platform, collecting and providing the latest research results, findings, news, and other information on the Arctic in real time. The website has been providing a wide range of stakeholders with the latest information on legal policies and economic trends related to the Arctic in an integrated and comprehensive manner; however, with the completion of the ArCS II project, the operation of the website has been terminated.

Some of the contents of the “Arctic Environmental Information Website” can be found here and the Arctic Data archive System (ADS).
