Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II
ArCS II is a project that aims to promote advanced and interdisciplinary research on the Arctic, aiming for the social implementation of the results. In this exhibition, you can enjoy a variety of contents about the Arctic and Arctic research through hands-on experience.
What is the Arctic?
The Arctic region is where the impact of global warming is most evident. Although the Arctic is far away from Japan, its environmental changes are actually having a significant impact on Japan as well. We will introduce what the arctic environment is and what changes are occurring there, along with research activities in Japan.
What is ArCS II ?
Under four Strategic Goals, 11 Research Programs – including natural sciences, engineering, humanities, and social sciences – collaborate each other on ArCS II project.

I want to know more! About the Arctic
How is the environment in the Arctic changing? Use Dagik Earth, a digital globe, to see the sea ice extent, sea surface temperature, snow depth, changes in surface temperature and black carbon concentration, and projected changes in temperature and sea ice. You can see what's happening not only in the Arctic, but also in other area of the world.
