Polar and Alpine Events Calendar
To Thursday 10 February 2022
Abstract submission for the 9th Nordic Geographers Meeting in Joensuu, Finland, 7.-10. February 2022 is now open, and we would like to draw your attention to the session #44: Land cover changes in (sub-) arctic regions.
Session description:
Arctic and sub-arctic regions are experiencing various effects of rapid climate change. Climate warming is expected to have consequences for vegetation, permafrost, snow cover, hydrology, herbivories, and human activities, for example. Both natural environments and human livelihoods are affected by these changes and their feedbacks. Understanding the physical processes and their (inter)connections that are taking place is essential to mitigate the impacts of changing climatic conditions.
Therefore, we invite contributions tackling land cover and land use change issues from perspectives of physical and human geographies as well as other related disciplines. Studies that use a multi-disciplinary approach (e.g., field, airborne and satellite remote sensing observations, participatory, laboratory and modelling techniques) are especially welcome.
More information about the conference. Note that the meeting is planned face-to-face.
