The objective is to improve understanding of the interrelationships among the impacts of climate warming on hydro-logical regimes, river ice conditions, permafrost thawing and related landscape changes and the corresponding societal challenges of flood hazard, river ice road infrastructure, and loss of agricultural land by ground subsidence, respectively.
Call Objective
This joint Belmont Forum CRA calls for co-developed and co-implemented proposals from integrated teams of natural and social scientists, and stakeholders to address key areas of arctic resilience understanding and action.
