GC11G:
Global Eyes on the New Arctic: Exploring the Trajectory Toward a New State and Responding to Rapid Change II Posters


Session ID#: 8477

Session Description:
Once considered a frozen and desolate region, irrelevant to all except those who live and/or work there, the Arctic has recently become a literal and figurative "hot spot" of interest to the world. Rapid disintegration of sea- and land-ice is hampering indigenous ways of life and disrupting natural systems while also creating new opportunities for commerce and other human activities. This session will illuminate our rapidly evolving understanding of the effects of system-wide Arctic change on physical, ecological, societal, and political domains well beyond traditional Arctic boundaries—and vice-versa.
