Session ID#: 14728

Session Description:
This session presents results from the existing integrated Arctic Environmental Change research programs, as well as from individual projects addressing this topic. The goal is to highlight research that integrates stakeholders in both the research and knowledge transfer and application processes. Arctic environmental change is certain to challenge humankind in many new ways and solution-oriented science for society and sustainability is increasingly critical. We invite contributions focused on response strategies for mitigation of and adaptation to these changes, real-world application of Arctic science to the development of solutions (including improved observations) to local, regional and global problems, and case studies focused on stakeholder engagement in knowledge transfer for decision making. Contributions are welcome from any area of Arctic research.
