ANNOUNCEMENT
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has released the details on its
"Contaminant Behavior and Impact in Northern Polar Regions" program.
The deadline for proposals is May 7, 1999.
Short Description/Synopsis of Program:
The goal of Contaminant Behavior and Impact in Northern Polar Regions is to
encourage research on the physical and biological routes, rates, and
reservoirs of Arctic contaminants that will develop baselines and define
parameters for natural systems. This research will provide a better
understanding of the behavior of contaminants among the Arctic's
atmospheric, marine, terrestrial and estuarine systems and their impact on
human populations and ecosystems.
A complete description for this program is located at NSF on the web:
