A series of excellent short (15-minute) talks, coinciding with the visit of several Arctic researchers from the USA , Finland, and Denmark.

Please join us to hear some of the variety of research activities ongoing in the Arctic region, with nine talks encompassing the carbon budget in the Arctic, tundra vegetation responses to climate change, permafrost dynamics, participatory research in social-ecological systems, Arctic palaeo-ecology and phylogeography, remote sensing, the role of animals in Arctic Earth system processes, and tracking the expansion of boreal species into tundra environments.

The seminar with end with a 30 minute open discussion and informal Q&A.
