Observations have shown that heavy precipitation and other thawing events are increasing around the Arctic, including more frequent rain-on-snow occurrences, and global climate models project that these extremes will only continue to increase in likelihood over the next few decades. This virtual event will feature different perspectives on the changing water cycle around the Arctic with a focus on its causes, impacts, and implications for the region and the globe.
The event will include short presentations from four leading early career polar researchers that are actively working to expand our understanding of the many far-reaching societal and physical impacts of an increasingly wetter and warmer Arctic.
Meet our presenters:
- Dr. Sophie Elixhauser, Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Vienna and Austrian Polar Research Institute, Austria
- Jorrit van der Schot, University of Graz and Austrian Polar Research Institute, Austria
- Dr. Michelle McCrystall, Research Fellow University of Auckland, New Zealand
- Dr. Kristin Poinar, University at Buffalo, Department of Geology and RENEW Institute, NY USA
