The proposal for the international training program "Processes and impacts of climate change in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Canadian Arctic"(ArcTrain) has been designed with the aim to train a new generation of scientists for addressing complex issues related to climate change in the Arctic and subarctic. In this domain, research and training of highly qualified personnel require access to front-line science and dedicated infrastructure for high-performance computing, remote-sensing observation, remote field-work and oceanographic expeditions, in addition to multidisciplinary expertise in geosciences, biology, physics and chemistry. Hence the monitoring, modelling and prediction of changes at the ice-ocean-land interfaces require partnership and strong group efforts at the international level. Here, building on existing collaborations, it is proposed to develop and formalize an international research training network composed of a main node in Germany, at the Centre for Marine Sciences MARUM of the University of Bremen, with a consortium of eight Canadian institutions coordinated from the GEOTOP at the Université du Québec à Montréal. The ArcTrain proposal relies on its international components but also on interdisciplinary training. To complement doctoral training on topics defined at the forefront of research in ice-ocean dynamics, ArcTrain aims at developing professional skills through a number of activities: (a) Three training workshops, one on climate-ice-ocean modelling and proxy data treatment and interpretation, one on fieldwork skills in the eastern Canadian Arctic, and one to address socio-political aspects of climate change in Arctic and subarctic areas; (b) Participation in a research expedition on a Canadian or German ship, either for a "floating university" summer school or as part of an expedition organized within the program; (c) 4-12 months residency in a Canadian or German partner institution. The long term goal of ArcTrain is to implement a Canadian-based international school for graduate studies in the domain of ice-ocean dynamics in order to help with forecasting, to foster scientific understanding that will inform policy, and to contribute to sustainable development of the Arctic and subarctic realm.********************************

国际培训计划“北大西洋和加拿大北极地区气候变化的过程和影响”（ArcTrain）的提案旨在培训新一代科学家，以解决与北大西洋和加拿大北极地区气候变化相关的复杂问题。在这一领域，高素质人员的研究和培训需要获得前沿科学和专用基础设施，以进行高性能计算、遥感观测、远程实地工作和海洋探险，以及多学科专业知识。地球科学,因此，对冰-海洋-陆地界面变化的监测、建模和预测需要国际层面的合作和强有力的集体努力，在此，建议在现有合作的基础上制定并正式建立一个国际机制。 ArcTrain 提案由德国不来梅大学海洋科学中心 MARUM 的一个主要节点以及由加拿大魁北克大学 GEOTOP 协调的八个加拿大机构组成的研究培训网络组成。为了补充冰海动力学研究前沿主题的博士培训，ArcTrain 旨在通过一系列活动培养专业人员： (a) 三个培训讲习班，其中一个关于气候。 - 冰海建模和代理数据处理和解释，一项涉及加拿大东部北极地区的实地工作技能，一项涉及北极和亚北极地区气候变化的社会政治方面； (b) 参加加拿大一项研究考察；或德语ArcTrain 的长期目标是实施加拿大-总部设在国际学校的冰海动力学研究生课程，旨在帮助预测、促进科学理解、为政策提供信息，并为北极和亚北极地区的可持续发展做出贡献。******** **************************
