Open Session - HYBRID
Room: Mødelokale 2.3
Organiser: Muyin Wang (University of Washington, USA)
Session Description:
Since the beginning of the 21st century, the Arctic has undergone rapid changes—including rising air and ocean temperatures, sea-ice loss, glacier retreat, and permafrost thaw. All of these are tied to Arctic Amplification (AA), whereby Arctic surface air temperatures are increasing roughly four times faster than the global average. Understanding the causes and consequences of AA across regional to global scales is essential for identifying sources of subseasonal-to-decadal predictability and improving prediction of Arctic and global change. Because AA has far-reaching implications for atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, the stability of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, and the resilience of socio-economic systems, coordinated and cross-disciplinary study is urgently needed. This workshop will convene scientists and stakeholders to:
- synthesize knowledge of physical drivers and mechanisms;
- assess observed changes and impacts across the Arctic system;
- evaluate teleconnections and midlatitude influences; and
- identify emerging research frontiers.
Outcomes will include identifying key uncertainties and research priories, establishing new collaborations, and providing scientific guidance to inform next steps and support decision-making.
