International Study of Arctic Change

The poster presents an overview of the International Study of Arctic Change (ISAC) science program, including recent and planned implementation activities. The poster highlights efforts at international coordination and cooperation in the development of a tripartite research agenda that includes observing, understanding, and responding to arctic change. Here discussion is focused on the framework for responding to change, and in particular specific needs that might be met by an optimally designed Arctic Observing System. Plans for an international workshop to further develop the ISAC responding to change initiative are also outlined.
