Description
Summary:This report presents the findings of of the "Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (SWIPA) : Climate Change and the Cryosphere" assessment, the third AMAP assessment on arctic climate issues and a follow-up on the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA) published in 2005. The assessment was conducted between 2008 and 2011 by over 200 scientists, experts, and members of Native groups, and brings together the latest knowledge about the changing state of each component of the arctic 'cryosphere' (the part of the Earth's surface that is seasonally or perennially frozen).
