Arctic coastal change: circumpolar truths and future outcomes

Session ID#: 79688

Session Description:
Arctic coastlines are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic and climate-driven changes. The goal of this session is to create a platform for discussing and presenting recent research on the changes in Arctic coastal dynamics from a broad interdisciplinary perspective. We invite a breadth of studies that cover topics related to Arctic coastal changes, including the driving forces, geomorphological processes, and potential impacts on ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, infrastructure, and social systems. Specifically, we welcome abstracts on cross-disciplinary studies at the nexus of 1) environmental variables that influence nearshore hydrological, geomorphological, ecological, and biogeochemical processes; 2) spatial and temporal variability in coastal change and key driving forces; and 3) the impacts of Arctic coastal change on nearshore ecosystem function, coastal communities, infrastructure, and hazards. We also welcome studies which utilize paleoenvironments as an analogue for current and future change as well as studies that explore new technologies and methods.
