The concept for IPY was developed in 2003–2005; its vision was for researchers from many nations to work together to gain cro- disciplinary insight into planetary processes, to explore and increase our understanding of the polar regions, the Arctic and Antarctica, and of their roles in the global system. IPY 2007–2008, the fourth program of its kind, followed in the footsteps of its predecessors, the first IPY in 1882–1883, the second IPY in 1932–1933, and the third IPY (later renamed to ‘International Geophysical Year’ or IGY) in 1957–1958. All earlier IPY/IGY have been primarily geophysical initiatives, with their focus on meteorology, atmospheric and geomagnetic observations, and with additional emphasis on glaciology and sea ice circulation. As such, they excluded socio-economic disciplines and polar indigenous people, often deliberately, except for limited ethnographic and natural history co | 出版日期 | Book 2010 | 关键词 | Adaptation; Arctic; Communities; Vulnerability; climate change; environmental change; integration; climate | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-9174-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-9830-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-90-481-9174-1 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 |
