Arctic Coastal Dynamics (ACD) is a joint
project of the International Arctic Sciences
Committee (IASC) and the International
Permafrost Association (IPA). 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
behaviour.
Information on the latest development of
ACD, including the main results of the Second
ACD Workshop in Potsdam, in November
2001, has been circulated in the
Second ACD Newsletter, in April 2002. For
