  3. 7. Feedback effects in the Arctic region and how they affect the global climate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Lotta Nyman; [2020]
    Keywords : Arctic warming; Arctic change; Climate feedback effect; Lower latitude weather; Arctic amplification; Permafrost; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Arctic is warming at a rate two to three times that of the global average. Although only covering a small area of the globe, it is a vital component of the climate system. Through climatic feedback effects the warming is enhanced, and risks leading to further climate change. READ MORE

  4. 8. Seasonal community dynamics of macroinvertebrates in an Arctic stream

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Ellinor Jakobsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Macroinvertebrates; Arctic; seasonality; community composition; Abisko;

    Abstract : Arctic ecosystems are amongst the most vulnerable on Earth to ongoing climate change. While the responses to these changes are well studied on land, less is known about how aquatic communities may respond to a warmer arctic. READ MORE
