Arctic Research of the United States

Prior to the reconstitution of IARPC as a member of the National Science & Technology Council, IARPC included regular updates in the journal Arctic Research of the United States. Published from 1987 through 2007, the journal was created for people and organizations interested in learning about U.S. government-financed Arctic research activities. It was published by the National Science Foundation on behalf of IARPC and in cooperation with the U.S. Arctic Research Commission.
