Science Priorities of the

ARCSS Community of Practice (Co-oP):

Surface Dynamics and Human Environments of the Arctic System

The Surface Dynamics and Human Environments of the Arctic System Community of Practice (Co-oP) is a multi-disciplinary group of researchers informally organized around a set of science questions focused on trajectories of change on the arctic land and ocean surface, including patterns, drivers, and implications of surface change. The group's ultimate goal is developing a better understanding of the cumulative and interactive effects of land and ocean surface transformation on the future state of the Arctic System.

The Surface Dynamics Co-oP held this open eTown Meeting to solicit community input and discussion as they further develop and refine their science priorities.
