Extractions: In September 2002, board and staff of the Canadian Polar Commission met to develop collectively a Strategic Roadmap for the Commission's next three-year term. Drawn from the Canadian Polar Commission Act (February 1, 1991), the Roadmap consists of a Vision Purpose Values and Beliefs , and Objectives Vision CPC will advocate and develop polar knowledge to benefit Canadians and sustain polar regions. Polar knowledge includes social sciences, traditional knowledge, natural sciences and the humanities. Purpose To monitor the state of knowledge, in Canada and elsewhere, in respect of the polar regions and report regularly and publicly. To determine polar knowledge priorities and report regularly to Canadians. To co-operate with Canadian organizations, institutions and associations to support the development and dissemination of knowledge in respect of the polar regions. To advise the Minister on any matter relating to the polar regions. To provide information about research in respect of the polar regions to Canadians and Canadian organizations, institutions and associations. To enhance Canada's international profile as a circumpolar nation by fostering international cooperation in the advancement of knowledge in respect of the polar regions.

This research will provide a better understanding of the behavior of contaminants among the Arctics atmospheric, marine, terrestrial and estuarine systems and their impact on human populations and ecosystems.

Extractions: The Association of Canadian Universities for Northern Studies (ACUNS) was founded at Churchill, Manitoba, in 1977 and was incorporated in 1978. Registered as a charitable organization, ACUNS is a voluntary association of thirty-five Canadian universities and northern colleges with northern programs and interests. The purpose of ACUNS is the advancement of northern scholarship through education and research. Operates daily scheduled airline service throughout northern Manitoba, northwestern Ontario and Nunavut. Contributes to CNSC Northern Research Fund, a matching-funds granting program available to researchers conducting research out of the Centre, by providing complimentary air tickets. Established in 1991 as the lead federal agency in the area of polar research. Responsible for disseminating knowledge of the polar regions and contributing to public awareness of the importance of polar science to Canada. Works closely with other governmental and non-governmental agencies to promote and support Canadian study of the polar regions. Provides a message forum and bulletin board related to northern issues, conferences, job postings, and grant information. The Centre for Forest Interdisciplinary Research (C-FIR) at the University of Winnipeg will be gathering place for forest ecology researchers from around the world. On a national level, the University of Winnipeg will now offer the wider range of forestry relevant programming within Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The CNSC is proud to have been a founding partner of C-FIR and continues to sponsor the field work of several C-FIR faculty.

Table of contents While the Antarctic is uninhabited, the Arctic has 3.75 million permanent residents, according to the Arctic Council. Most settlements have remained modest in size, with populations of less than 5 000 people. The vast majority of Arctic residents today are nonindigenous immigrants. This shift in demographic make-up has been accompanied by a steady increase in urbanization, with migration from smaller settlements to larger urban settings, a general trend throughout the Arctic (see box). Urban growth in the Arctic Greenland has experienced urban growth since the 1970s (Rasmussen and Hamilton 2001). Roughly one-quarter of Greenlands population lives in Nuuk, the capital. This concentration of the urban population in one city is found in other Arctic countries: 40 per cent of Icelands growing population lives in Reykjavik, onethird of the Faroe Islands people lives in Torshavn, and almost 40 per cent of the population of Canadas Northwest Territories lives in Yellowknife. Anchorage in Alaska is the only North American Arctic city with a population of more than 100 000. The rapidly growing population of Anchorage reached 262 200 in 2001, while the population of the next largest city of Arctic Alaska, Fairbanks, declined slightly over the past decade to 30 500.

Extractions: The Polar Regions are frequently neglected in discussions of the environment, but they shouldn't be. The environment of the Polar Regions is particularly susceptible to human impacts such as pollution and the depletion of the ozone layer. Moreover, the effects of global warming on the Polar Regions are likely to have major repercussions in the rest of the world. Students will learn about how environmental problems affect the Polar Regions, and they will create magazine ads to educate the public about these problems and to convince people to pay more attention to human impacts on the Arctic and Antarctic.
Extractions: NSF, working with other organizations here and abroad, was the lead agency in establishing Arabidopsis thaliana as a model for understanding the biology of flowering plants. Arabidopsis, commonly called the thale cress or mouse eared cress, is a small annual weed that belongs to the mustard family. It has the smallest known genome of any flowering plant. In cooperation with genome centers worldwide, NSF expects that the complete genomic sequence of Arabidopsis will be available by the end of this year. Scientists have already sequenced approximately 80 percent of the Arabidopsis genome, and existing sequence data are freely available to the scientific community through public databases. Scientists are using this genetic information to explore the basic biology of all flowering plants and to engineer improvements in agriculturally-important crop plants. For instance, NSF-supported researchers recently succeeded in engineering plants that are more tolerant to cold temperatures. This work has profound implications for agricultural productivity since crops that are even a little hardier are much more likely to withstand sudden cold snaps that often cause major crop losses.
