SUMMARY:Nature Conference "A Changing Arctic" - postponed
LOCATION:Tromsø\, Norway
DESCRIPTION:Due to the impact of COVID-19, we will be postponing the A Changing Arctic 
 conference. Please check the conference website for updates.\nRobust eviden
 ce now exists for anthropogenically-forced shifts in the Earth's environmen
 t. Observations in the Arctic reveal dramatic reductions in the extent and 
 thickness of the sea ice, rising atmospheric temperatures, widespread perma
 frost degradation and ocean acidification. These changes bring with them im
 plications for biology, ecosystem services and society in general.\nFull un
 derstanding of current and projected Arctic environmental change is becomin
 g an imperative in order to minimize and manage corresponding impacts. This
  conference aims to provide a forum for the three main themes of:\nLand - i
 ncorporating ecological impacts, permafrost, ice sheets and landscape evolu
 tion\nOcean (coastal and open) - incorporating physical changes, ocean acid
 ification, and ecological impacts\nThe Future — covering social aspects and
  including transformation, exploration, and management\nSubmit your abstrac
 t no later than Monday, February 24, 2020 at 18:00 (6:00 p.m.) EST.\nMore i
