In addition to discussing bilateral collaboration, we will offer a critical review of current interdisciplinary research in Arctic climate change, including the alarming trends and potential large-scale impacts of Arctic sea ice loss and Greenland ice sheet melting.

Main themes:

  • The Science of Arctic Climate Change: understanding the fundamental changes occurring in the Arctic and addressing the potential for abrupt and severe disruptions.
  • The People of the Arctic: highlighting the consequences of climate change for indigenous communities and the importance of inclusivity in Arctic climate science.
  • Bilateral collaboration in the Arctic: showcasing successful joint research initiatives and exploring new collateral funding opportunities.

By bringing together leading experts and stakeholders, the workshop aims to strengthen international cooperation in Arctic research by identifying thematic areas of future collaboration between Norway and USA in Arctic research.
