Session 13059: Scenario Approaches to Understand Arctic Futures
Conveners: Robert Rich, Helen Wiggins, Brit Myers, and Caspar Ammann.
Consideration of alternative scenarios for the medium-long term future
of the Arctic region can be a powerful approach to synthesis of
disparate trends in support of enhanced understanding of the
possibilities. Scenario approaches use a variety of scales of analysis
to understand the social-ecological systems of a region (or
sub-regions), bringing together geoscience, biological science, and
interactions of these natural systems with regional and global
populations.
This session will feature presentations from pioneering research groups
involved in Arctic scenario analysis. The audience will learn how these
different approaches were developed and structured, and what insights
they have produced about possible and likely Arctic futures.
Arctic scenarios development is often informed by inputs from global and
regional models of climate, atmosphere, marine, and terrestrial change.
As a focus, session participants will also be asked to consider how such
physical models might be improved to better inform and support more
robust scenarios.
