An Advanced Study Course, IRISEN-II (Integrated Regional Impact Studies
in the European North: Basic Issues, Methodologies and Regional Climate
Modelling), was carried out for the second time at Abisko Research
Station in northern Sweden. IRISEN-II brought together 30 graduate
students from various European countries and 26 eminent scientists from
around the world for two weeks in July/August 2002. The course addressed
the issue of regional climate change and its impacts on the one hand and
the methodologies for regional climate modelling and integrated climate
impact studies on the other. IRISEN-II is part of the University of the
Arctic Field School Program. The University of the Arctic is an activity
under the Arctic Council, an intergovernmental forum that provides a
mechanism to address the common concerns and challenges faced by the
Arctic governments and the people of the Arctic.
