n The Arctic remains one of the least explored, studied and understood places on earth n Change in the Arctic may play a substantial role in climate change throughout the globe. n Global change, particularly climate change may have its most pronounced effects in the Arctic The Arctic

Complex changes are occurring in the Arctic Permafrost temperatures are rising Shrubs starting to appear Sea ice volume is decreasing Stratospheric winds are increasing Northern Europe is warming (winter) Northern N. America is warming (spring) Ecosystem shifts impacting fisheries, land, marine mammals
