ARCTIC ANTARCTIC AND ALPINE RESEARCH

北极、南极和高山研究(AAAR)的任务是通过发表过去、现在和未来高纬度和山区的原始科学研究成果，增进对寒冷地区环境的了解。今天在寒冷地区发生的快速环境变化突出了这项研究的全球重要性。AAAR发表同行评审的跨学科论文，包括原始研究论文、简短的交流和评审文章。其中许多论文综合了多种学科，包括生态学、气候学、地貌学、冰川学、水文学、古海洋学、生物地球化学和社会科学。论文可以是单学科或多学科的，但应该具有跨学科的吸引力。鼓励特别主题问题和程序。该杂志收到来自学术界、政府机构和土地管理者的不同国际作者的投稿。此外，该杂志还出版评论文章、书评和备忘录。AAAR与美国科罗拉多大学博尔德分校(University of Colorado Boulder)最古老的活跃研究机构——北极和高山研究所(INSTAAR)有关联。

The mission of Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research (AAAR) is to advance understanding of cold region environments by publishing original scientific research from past, present and future high-latitude and mountain regions. Rapid environmental change occurring in cold regions today highlights the global importance of this research. AAAR publishes peer-reviewed interdisciplinary papers including original research papers, short communications and review articles. Many of these papers synthesize a variety of disciplines including ecology, climatology, geomorphology, glaciology, hydrology, paleoceanography, biogeochemistry, and social science. Papers may be uni- or multidisciplinary but should have interdisciplinary appeal. Special thematic issues and proceedings are encouraged. The journal receives contributions from a diverse group of international authors from academia, government agencies, and land managers. In addition the journal publishes opinion pieces, book reviews and in memoria. AAAR is associated with the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) the oldest active research institute at the University of Colorado Boulder.
