Multiple climatic drivers increase pace and consequences of ecosystem change in the Arctic Coastal Ocean
Abstract The impacts of climate change on Arctic marine systems are noticeable within the scientific “lifetime” of most researchers and the iconic image of a polar bear struggling to stay on top of a melting ice floe captures many of the dominant themes of Arctic marine ecosystem change. But has our...
