Dear Colleagues
The new Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP) assessment report: “Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (SWIPA) 2017” is now available for download: http://www.amap.no/documents/doc/Snow-Water-Ice-and-Permafrost-in-the-Arctic-SWIPA-2017/1610
The design of the report was to capture new cryospheric knowledge between 2009 and early 2017
The SWIPA reports are like IPCC reports, for the Arctic, with Summaries for Policy Makers, for example: http://www.amap.no/documents/doc/snow-water-ice-and-permafrost.-summary-for-policy-makers/1532
We encourage you to use SWIPA 2017 as a reference document in your scientific publications.
Citing the report
- AMAP, 2017. Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (SWIPA) 2017. Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP), Oslo, Norway. xiv + 269 pp.
Inside the report you'll find, for example, two chapters I co-lead: 6 - Changes to Arctic Land Ice and 9 - Sea level rise contribution from Arctic land ice: 1850-2100
