Dramatic changes have been observed in the Arctic over last century. Many of these involve storage and cycling fresh water. On land, precipitation river discharge, lake abundance size, glacier area volume, soil moisture, a variety permafrost characteristics changed. In ocean, sea ice thickness areal coverage decreased water mass circulation patterns shifted, changing freshwater pathways cover dynamics. Precipitation onto ocean surface has also Such are expected to continue, perhaps...
Community-based monitoring (CBM) in the Arctic is gaining increasing support from a wide range of interested parties, including community members, scientists, government agencies, and funders. Through CBM initiatives, residents conduct or are involved ongoing observing activities.

Community and stakeholder engagement is increasingly recognized as essential to science at the nexus of food, energy, water systems (FEWS) address complex issues surrounding food energy production provision for society.

Characterizing and understanding social-ecological systems (SESs) is increasingly necessary to answer questions about the development of sustainable human settlements. To date, much literature on SES analysis has focused “neat” involving a single type resource, group users, governance system. While these studies provide valuable specific insights, they are limited use for application “messy” SESs that encompass totality settlements, including social organization technologies result in...
