Special issue}, month = {Dec}, note = {P(論文), Science in arctic regions is changing. Increased knowledge about the arctic environment and resources is not only valuable to arctic regions but is important for understanding of global changes and for international relations. People resident in the arctic increasingly have influences or control over research priorities. There in new emphasis in arctic research on climate change, environmental protection, the spread and effects of contaminants in ecosystems, management of living resources, northern health, indigenous cultures and rights. Arctic research increasingly draws on both disciplinary scientific knowledge, and the accumulated knowledge of indigenous societies; and is bringing together global, circumpolar, national and local interests. Environmental research in arctic Canada is a dramatic example of these changes. Fundamental research in a wide variety of subjects is essential, and Canadians participate in many international research programmes in the arctic, but increasingly these are related to important social needs, and to policies for environmental protection or sustained economic development. An illustration of how multi-discipline researches, from basic to applied, can contribute to a common theme is the Mackenzie Basin Impact Study. Support for science in arctic Canada comes from an increasing variety of sources. Progress is being made in co-ordinating research planning and facilities.}, pages = {7--24}, title = {Environmental research in Arctic Canada: Bringing global and local science together (review)}, volume = {51}, year = {1996} }
