IAMAS Symposium M09 The Arctic in the 21st Century: A Hotbed of Global Change
Conveners: James Drummond (Dalhousie University, Canada) and Paul Kushner (University of Toronto, Canada)
The Arctic is undergoing climatic change at a much greater rate than the rest of the planet, with potential global consequences. In addition to natural and anthropogenic driving, economic activity in the Arctic is also increasing which brings new challenges regionally and geopolitically. Increased understanding of this change requires the best measurements, the best models and the best understanding of the science. Many of the issues involve the interface between the various components of the Earth system (ice, snow, ocean, atmosphere, etc.) and also frequently transcend the traditional disciplinary boundaries. Papers are solicited concerning measurements, models and interpretation with a special emphasis on trans-disciplinary and interface issues affecting the Arctic and relating to Arctic.
Confirmed invited speaker: Prof. Kimberly Strong, University of Toronto
