		Although the Arctic covers only a modest fraction of the planet, it includes many of the most sensitive elements of the planetary system likely to change in the coming decades and centuries.
		The primary emphasis of CAPE is to facilitate scientific integration of paleoenvironmental research on terrestrial environments and adjacent margins covering the last 250,000 years of Earth history, particularly those tasks that cannot easily be achieved by individual investigators or even regionally focused research teams.
		CAPE will be led by a 10 t0 15 person Steering Committee representing a balance of national and disciplinary interests, from which a smaller Executive Committee will be chosen to attend to practical aspects of the organization.

	Cape Farewell - raising awareness about climate change
		The second Cape Farewell expedition launched on September 10 with the objective of creating art works towards an exhibition in 2006, developing a new GCSE science education module and conducting oceanography measurements and experiments in partnership with the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (formerly the Southampton Oceanography Centre).
		Cape Farewell was conceived by the artist David Buckland and during the past four years he and his team have developed a program of arctic activity.
		Cape Farewell and The National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (formerly the Southampton Oceanography Centre) are teaming up to bring the study and awareness of the ocean's role in regulating global temperatures and its critical relationship to climate change and global warming into the classroom.

		(1997) who, reconstructing arctic temperatures of the past 400 years using a multiproxy approach, demonstrated that the warming of the latter part of the 20th century was the greatest of the period of record.
		In this fashion, the present warming trend can be evaluated in light of past warm and cold events in the arctic and a clearer understanding of natural variability in the arctic system and their controls can be better understood.
		Cape Hurd Lake is a relatively small (2.0 km2) density-stratified coastal isolation basin located at sea level.

	Cape Times - Arctic sea meltdown may make polar ice cap disappear in summer
		London: Arctic sea ice has melted to a record low this month prompting fears that the entire polar ice cap may disappear within decades during the summer period.
		A gradual loss of sea ice has taken place for a quarter of a century but scientists now believe that they may be witnessing an acceleration in the melting process due to climate change and a process of "positive feedback" causing a vicious cycle of melting and warming.
		Mark Serreze said that the loss of Arctic sea ice is likely to make global warming worse because more ocean is exposed to the warming effects of the sun.

	Cape Times - Arctic ice may vanish before end of century
		The findings, to be published later this year, show the melting of the Arctic ice has become considerably worse over the past 20 years.
		In addition, satellite measurements have clearly shown that the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by sea ice has shrunk on average by about 8% over the past quarter century, with the biggest decline occurring in summer.
		Previous attempts at measuring the thickness of Arctic sea ice, using declassified sonar data from military submarines, suggested the ice had thinned by as much as 40% over the past 50 years.

	Cape Argus - Arctic ice shelf 'shrinking dangerously due to warming'
		The Arctic ice shelf has melted for the fourth straight year to its smallest area in a century, driven by rising temperatures that appear linked to a build-up of greenhouse gases, US scientists have said.
		It is the least amount of Arctic ice in at least a century, according to both the satellite data and shipping data going back many more years, according to a report from the groups.
		The melting trend increasingly appeared to be caused by a build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the scientists said.

	Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve \| Overview
		From a distance the Cape appears desolate, yet up close, particularly during the months of June and July, the tiny arctic plants provide a rainbow carpet of colour.
		The Cape's arctic conditions have also led to the formation of "frost polygons"-strange, geometric circles or lines of rocks on the surface of the ground.
		With their support, Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve was fully designated in March, 2000, to protect the area's high concentration of plant species, particularly its three dozen rare plants.

	ARCTIC VOICE No. 11
		Organized in accordance with Peter I's ordinances, it explored the shore of the Arctic seas from Arkhangelsk to Bolshoy Baranof Cape, east of the mouth of the Kolyma River.
		Starting from 1910, the Hydrographic Expedition of the Arctic Ocean worked in the Arctic in the icebreakers "Taimyr" and "Vaigach." During the navigation season of 1914-1915, the members of the expedition journeyed from Vladivostok to Arkhangelsk in their first ever traverse of the Northeast Passage.
		Equally noteworthy are the activities in the Arctic in the early 20th century of the team of military hydrographers led by Andrei Vilkitsky, A. Varnek, and N. Morozov, who made a large contribution to the Russian geographical sciences.

	Entertainment Reviews: Arctic Monkeys heat up Boston
		He was battling his band's critics before Arctic Monkeys had even released its debut record.
		Arctic Monkeys' songs borrow from the Smiths, Gang of Four and plenty of other great Brit bands of the past, but the young group (two members are 19 and two are 20) is putting its own spin on things.
		Considering I spent more than three times as much time in my car as Arctic Monkeys did on stage (heck, I spent half as long waiting in the coat-check line as they did performing), it would be easy to say that the 50-minute show was too stingy.

	Cape Argus - Arctic swimmer scores a freeze-style victory

		Noakes said Pugh's core body temperature, which had risen to 38¡C before the swim, had dropped to 36¡C by the end of it, and continued to drop until 25 minutes after the swim to 35.5¡C, which was still within a safe limit.
		This was the first long-distance swim in the Arctic Ocean, Pugh said.

		It will provide a link to similar efforts that are ongoing or planned by international groups across the Arctic (e.g., Viv Jones’ IPY Expression of Intent #207), and will fuel climate-modeling efforts that explore the role of volcanism, solar irradiance, and inherent modes of climatic variability to explain observed patterns in the proxy climate data.
		Although this proposed IPY activity does not include an independent field component, the synthesis is predicated on the results of emerging and currently proposed research aimed at high-resolution paleoclimate reconstructions on a site-by-site basis from around the Arctic, especially Arctic lakes.
		The IPY would provide the impetus for broad international and interdisciplinary participation in the proposed synthesis meeting, and that the timing is right to generate a significant synthesis of new knowledge related to long-term climate variability across the Arctic.
