ARCUS was formed in 1988 to serve as a forum for planning, facilitating, coordinating, and implementing interdisciplinary studies of the Arctic. As part of this mission, ARCUS acts as a liaison between the arctic research community, agencies, national organizations, and policy makers through activities such as monitoring relevant legislation, providing science policy information to the research community, and responding to inquiries by agency and congressional staff concerning arctic science.
