CliC - SCAR - ICPM

Location - International Arctic Research Center, Fairbanks, Alaska
Dates - 6-8 December 2004

Background: Siberia, Alaska/northern Canada and the Antarctic Peninsula have warmed more than any other regions on Earth over the last 50 years. Parts of Greenland have also experienced significant warming over recent years. The reasons for the observed temperature increases are not fully understood, but involve cyospheric feedbacks, coupled with changes in the atmospheric circulation, and possibly ocean currents.

Goals:

Format: The three days of the meeting would consist of presentations during the mornings and workshop sessions during the afternoon.

Attendance: By invitation and involving about 20-30 people.

Expected outcomes: A review paper on recent high latitude climate change for a refereed journal. Insight into future research needs.

Funding: Resources for this workshop are being provided by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, the International Commission on Polar Meteorology, the British Antarctic Survey, and the International Arctic Research Center, .
