ARCUS (Arctic
Research Consortium of the United States)
The Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS) was formed in 1988
to identify and bring together the distributed human and facilities resources
of the Arctic research community-to create a synergy for the Arctic in which
each resource, when combined with others, can result in a strength that enables
the community to rise to the many challenges facing the Arctic and the United
States.
