Session Description:
The Arctic shattered records in the winter of 2016 with extreme heat and exceptionally low sea ice. Uncertainty persists about the roles of local and remote causes of Arctic warming, and how those factors may be influenced by natural and anthropogenic climate change. The interplay between Arctic warming and lower latitudes is increasingly recognized as the science community challenges long-held paradigms of Arctic climate drivers and responses. For example, the recent dramatic reductions in sea ice have prompted novel investigations into the distant controls on ice variability, such as the influence of tropical and mid-latitude variability on poleward heat transport. This session welcomes presentations of cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on drivers, feedbacks, and possible mechanisms linking the Arctic and global climate and ecology, which carries significant societal implications for natural resource management and climate adaptation. Presentations of ongoing international Arctic projects are also welcome.
