Time: Wednesday 20 May 16.00-17.30
Room: Stora hallen B
Session chairs: Pasha Karami, SMHI & MERGE; Elin Linderhoff, Linneaus University, EcoChange
This session welcomes abstracts that investigate the Arctic system across timescales from the geological past to future projections. We seek contributions that advance understanding of Arctic evolution under ongoing climate change, with particular interest in studies addressing the causes and predictability of a future seasonally ice-free Arctic Ocean and its climatic and ecological consequences. Our goal is to create a dynamic forum for interdisciplinary exchange, bringing together researchers from diverse fields and fostering dialogue with policymakers and stakeholders. If your work sheds light on Arctic processes, impacts, or adaptation solutions, we invite you to share your insights and help shape the conversation about the future of the Arctic.
