 The editorial team invites the community to participate in the open review of the report "State of the Arctic Coast 2010 - Scientific Review and Outlook". The draft report is now available for download and open review but should not be cited or quoted at this time. http://www.arcticcoasts.orgThe report is a collaborative effort of the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), the Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) Project and the International Permafrost Association (IPA). The document was prepared by an international writing team, including 15 Lead Authors and 27 Contributing Authors. It was released during the IPY Oslo Conference, 8-12 June 2010, and is now available for public comments with the objective to publish the final version early 2011. The Editorial Team and Lead Authors welcome comments on the draft report from the Arctic science and stakeholder communities, including northern residents. The content of the report is intended to reflect results in the published literature, with preference to peer-reviewed results and qualified recognition of other insights from the grey literature, ongoing research programs and traditional knowledge. The report is not intended to promote policy goals or approaches; instead it attempts to provide an objective assessment of the current state of Arctic coasts and to provide background for the development of policy, with a discussion of potential strategies to enhance circum-polar collaboration for an integrated approach to research on Arctic coastal systems.
