Global change and the polar regions

The Earth System consists of the solid planet, its atmosphere, oceans, ice and biota. These are coupled via a myriad of complex physical, chemical and biological processes, which occur over a vast range of scales of time and space. Natural variability and evolution are intrinsic to the system’s beha...
