| description |
Arctic land ice is melting, sea ice is decreasing, and permafrost is thawing. Changes in these Arctic elements are interconnected, and most interactions accelerate the rate of change. The changes affect infrastructure, economics, and cultures of people inside and outside of the Arctic, including in temperate and tropical regions, through sea level rise, worsening storm and hurricane impacts, and enhanced warming. Coastal communities worldwide are already experiencing more regular flooding, drinking water contamination, and coastal erosion. We describe and summarize the nature of change for Arctic permafrost, land ice, and sea ice, and its influences on lower latitudes, particularly the United States. We emphasize that impacts will worsen in the future unless individuals, businesses, communities, and policy makers proactively engage in mitigation and adaptation activities to reduce the effects of Arctic changes and safeguard people and society.Key PointsRapid changes in the Arctic physical environment have substantial impacts in low and midlatitudesLoss of sea ice, land ice, and permafrost is accelerating, and these losses are further exacerbating climate changeEffects of Arctic change include rising sea level, increased coastal erosion, greater storm impacts, and ocean and atmospheric warming Peer Reviewed https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/149352/1/eft2525.pdf https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/149352/2/eft2525_am.pdf |

Changes in these Arctic elements are interconnected, and most interactions accelerate the rate of change. The changes affect infrastructure, economics, and cultures of people inside and outside of the Arctic, including in temperate and tropical regions, through sea level rise, worsening storm and hurricane impacts, and enhanced warming. Coastal communities worldwide are already experiencing more regular flooding, drinking water contamination, and coastal erosion. We describe and summarize the nature of change for Arctic permafrost, land ice, and sea ice, and its influences on lower latitudes, particularly the United States. We emphasize that impacts will worsen in the future unless individuals, businesses, communities, and policy makers proactively engage in mitigation and adaptation activities to reduce the effects of Arctic changes and safeguard people and society.Key PointsRapid changes in the Arctic physical environment have substantial impacts in low and midlatitudesLoss of sea ice, land ice, and permafrost is accelerating, and these losses are further exacerbating climate changeEffects of Arctic change include rising sea level, increased coastal erosion, greater storm impacts, and ocean and atmospheric warming Peer Reviewed https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/149352/1/eft2525.pdf https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/149352/2/eft2525_am.pdf Article in Journal/Newspaper Arctic Arctic Ice permafrost Sea ice The Cryosphere University of Michigan: Deep Blue Arctic |
