Arctic Coastal Dynamics (ACD) is a joint project of the International
Arctic Sciences Committee (IASC) and the International Permafrost
Association. Its overall objective is to improve our understanding of
circum-arctic coastal dynamics as a function of environmental forcing,
coastal geology, and cryology and morphodynamic behavior. The second
IASC-sponsored international workshop was held in Potsdam, Germany, on
26-30 November 2001. Participants from Canada (2), Germany (8), Norway
(3), Russia (6), Austria (2), and the United States (5) attended.
The main objective of the workshop was to review the status of ACD
according to phase 1 of the Science and Implementation Plan. During the
first part of the workshop status reports of the ACD working groups and
several papers dealing with different aspects of circum-arctic coastal
dynamics were presented. During the second part the progress and the
next steps of the ACD working groups were discussed and, based on these
discussions, the next steps were identified in the Steering Committee
Meeting. The present report summarizes the program and the results of
the workshop.
