Primary drivers of change in EU Arctic fjord socio-ecological systems
Work package one (WP1)
Financed under grant #869154
- Enable adaptive co-management of Arctic social-ecological fjord systems in face of rapid cryosphere and biodiversity changes
- WP1
- Identify + analyse drivers of change
- Manage and disseminate data and analyses within/out consortium
Why fjords?
Important socio-ecological systems whose climate impacts may differ from IPCC AR6
Range of fjords throughout the EU Arctic provides “natural laboratory”
Socio-ecological systems?
Socio-ecological systems?
Cryosphere
Physics
Chemistry
Biology

Key drivers determined by literature and available data
Cryosphere
Physics
Chemistry

Key drivers of change
Interactions
Takeaway
- As the planet warms the cryosphere will melt
- Removes one of five categories of the system
- Will it still be the Arctic without a cryosphere?
Thank you for listening!
