Arctic-COLORS is a Field Campaign Scoping Study funded by NASA's Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry Program that aims to improve understanding and prediction of land-ocean interactions in a rapidly changing Arctic coastal zone, and assess vulnerability, response, feedbacks and resilience of coastal ecosystems, communities and natural resources to current and future pressures. Our project goal is to develop a report for NASA that describes and justifies the design of an integrative, interdisciplinary oceanographic field campaign program that addresses high priority science questions related to land-ocean interactions in the Arctic, and assess the impacts of natural and anthropogenic

changes on coastal ocean biology, biogeochemistry and biodiversity. This field campaign will be composed of multiple research cruises with sufficient seasonal and spatial coverage to resolve the science questions proposed by the Arctic-COLORS team.
