Associated Press News Story Posted May 1, 2003
A federal official says Arctic climate research should focus on such concerns as rising winter temperatures, thinning sea ice and thawing permafrost. James Mahoney says a 13-agency group will release a plan June 25th outlining these and other priority areas for federal research. Mahoney is assistant Secretary of Commerce for oceans and atmosphere.
Mahoney spoke yesterday in Arlington, Virginia, at the annual meeting of the Arctic Science Consortium of the United States. It's a group of agencies and research institutions with headquarters in Fairbanks.
