  1. 1. A Changing Arctic Climate : Science and Policy in the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment

    Författare :Annika E. Nilsson; Björn-Ola Linnér; Sofie Storbjörk; Oran R. Young; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Arctic; climate; framing; knowledge production; regime; institution; actor network; co-production; indigenous knowledge; Arktis; klimat; kunskapsproduktion; regim; institution; aktörsnätverk; traditionell kunskap; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change has often been framed as a global issue but slow progress in the global climate negotiations and an increasing need to plan for local adaptation have made it increasingly salient to also discuss the potential of other arenas for climate policy and knowledge production. This dissertation analyzes the interplay between science and policy at the international regional level based on a study of an assessment of the impacts of climate change in the Arctic. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Arctic Climate and Water Change : Information Relevance for Assessment and Adaptation

    Författare :Arvid Bring; Georgia Destouni; Richard Lammers; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrology; Monitoring; Arctic; Climate Change; Adaptatation; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : The Arctic is subject to growing economic and political interest. Meanwhile, its water and climate systems are in rapid transformation. Relevant and accessible information about water and climate is therefore vital to detect, understand and adapt to the changes. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Modelling the early to mid-Holocene Arctic climate

    Författare :Marit Berger; Arne Johansson; Rodrigo Caballero; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Arctic; early Holocene; mid-Holocene; climate modelling; paleoclimate; sea ice; climate change;

    Sammanfattning : In the recent past it has become evident that the Earth's climate is changing, and that human activity play a significant role in these changes. One of the regions where the ongoing climate change has been most evident is in the Arctic: the surface temperature has increased twice as much in this region as compared to the global average, in addition, a significant decline in the Arctic sea-ice extent has been observed in the past decades.

  7. 5. Impacts of global change on primary production in northern lakes

    Författare :Isolde Callisto Puts; Ann-Kristin Bergström; Jenny Ask; Tom H. Andersen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Primary production; global change; warming; browning; lake; carbon dioxide; organic carbon; inorganic carbon; boreal; arctic; DOC; DIC; CO2; allochthonous organic carbon; benthic; periphyton; environmental change; miljöförändringar; environmental science; miljövetenskap; biology; biologi; climate change; klimatförändringar;

    Sammanfattning : Algae are primary producers, a major component of the aquatic foodweb, and changes in primary production affect aquatic ecology in general. Global changes such as warming, recovery of acidification and changes in land-use have caused warming and browning of northern lakes. LÄS MER
