Due to the impact of COVID-19, we will be postponing the A Chang ing Arctic conference. Please check the conference website for updates.
Robust evidence now exists for anthropogenically-forced shifts
in the Earth's environment. Observations in the Arctic reveal dramatic redu
ctions in the extent and thickness of the sea ice, rising atmospheric tempe
ratures, widespread permafrost degradation and ocean acidification. These c
hanges bring with them implications for biology, ecosystem services and soc
iety in general.
Full understanding of current and projected Arctic en
vironmental change is becoming an imperative in order to minimize and manag
e corresponding impacts. This conference aims to provide a forum for the th
ree main themes of:
Land - incorporating ecologi
cal impacts, permafrost, ice sheets and landscape evolution
Oc
ean (coastal and open) - incorporating physical changes, ocea
n acidification, and ecological impacts
The Future&nb
sp;— covering social aspects and including transformation, exploration, and
management
Submit your abstract no later than Monday, Februa ry 24, 2020 at 18:00 (6:00 p.m.) EST.
