Scoping the risks associated with accelerated coastal permafrost thaw : lessons from Bykovsky (Sakha Republic, Russian Federation) and Tuktoyaktuk (Northwest Territories, Canada)

International audience 1. Permafrost thaw generates risks for Arctic communities that are broad and cross-cutting.2. Current models of risk under climate change may not be able to address such categories of risk.3. We propose an initial scoping of existing risk models using field observations.
