Show Tlx Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, October 6, 1985 S7 Science A by research park? Soviet-Americ- an A1 Rossiter Jr. United Press International - In an effort to WASHINGTON advance arctic research and help n thaw relations, a noted U.S. atmospheric scientist has suggested the two nations create a research park on both sides of the Bering Sea. Walter Orr Roberts proposes that the research park include about 50 miles of the easternmost tip of Siberia, 50 miles of the westernmost tip of Alaska and the strait separating the two countries. Within the zone, cooperative research could be conducted on biological, environmental, anthropological, cultural, atmospheric, oceanographic and other fascinating aspects of this unique region, Roberts said. He made the proposal in an article in Journal '85, a publication of the World Resources Institute, and said that while the concept may be idealistic, "doesn't it have great symbolic power? It could be a tangible sign of cooperation between the world's two most powerful nations, whose relations today are at a deep impasse. I can foresee no national security hazard from either nations standpoint, he wrote. But I can picture great benefits scientifically and in human terms. It is worth a try! Roberts, who is president emeritus of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., said both sides of the Bering Strait have lagoons, bays, rivers and other common environmental factors of great interest to ecological researchers. He said the warmer waters of the Pacific buck the cold Arctic Sea in the strait, producing meteorological and oceanic phenomena of special scientific interest. The strait itself is of huge importance for migrating fish and oceangoing mammals, he said. The region has common arctic birdlife, plants, animals that live in fragile equilibrium on the arctic tundra. Many scientific studies beckton to investigators, he said. Natural systems like this exist in only a few places. In addition to its natural phenomena, Roberts said the areas ancient culture also is fertile ground for study. The strait may have been a land bridge between the two continents in prehistoric times and may be a archeological treasure trove. He said there have been strong historic and cultural links between the Eskimos on both sides of the strait. It would make great sense, in the present stress between our two coun- Soviet-America- Jumble on tries, to create an American-Sovie- t Research Park for cooperative scientific studies of this unique natural environment. Roberts said the area should cover about 175 miles by 110 miles, centered exactly on the Bering Strait. Thus the science zone would extend inland by about 50 miles on both continents. He suggested that the two govern ments build laboratory facilities on both continents along with airstrips so scientists from both countries could travel easily between the research centers. Scientists from both sides could share research problems, hold joint seminars and conferences, and comresearch problems, pare free from red tape and long planning cycles.
