This documents aims at collecting and elaborating on the major discussion points gathered during the ESA/CliC scientific consultation meeting on Earth Observation (EO) and Arctic Science Priorities held on 20 January 2015 at the Fram Centre in Tromsø, Norway. The meeting aimed at reviewing and discussing the existing scientific knowledge gaps and research priority areas for the Arctic where EO may contribute for the next decade. The outcome of the meeting and its conclusions will contribute to guide scientific activities on Arctic research, including ESA’s programmatic priorities for the time frame 2017-2021. Despite not covering all components of the Arctic cryosphere, discussions covered a fairly large spectrum of research areas where EO may contribute. The list of contributors is listed in the document. Unfortunately the following were accidentally omitted.
