In recognition of such concerns, three international organizations, the World Climate Research Program\u2019s Climate and Cryosphere Project (WCRP-CliC), the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), and the Arctic Council\u2019s Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP), jointly initiated a scientific assessment entitled the \u201c<em>Arctic Freshwater Synthesis\u00a0<\/em>(AFS)\u201d, which focused on assessing the various Arctic freshwater sources, fluxes, storages and effects. The AFS was organized into 6 major Components including: i) Oceans; ii) Atmosphere; iii) Terrestrial Hydrology; iv) Terrestrial Ecology; v) Resources and vi) Modelling. Each Component was led by two co-leads and supported by a team of international co-authors. In considering historical and projected future changes in the various freshwater components, synergistic roles among components, and the overall freshwater budget, the assessment also evaluated effects on: i) regional and global climate, ii) biological productivity and biodiversity, and iii) human and economic systems. This presentation reviews the major findings of each AFS Component, examines important synergistic processes\/effects among Components, and identifies key priorities for future research.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arctic Freshwater Synthesis: Foci, Results and Future Research Priorities Terry Prowse,\u00a0W-CIRC and Department of Geography Wednesday, April 5, 2017 Snacks\/Discussion begin at 15:00, Talk at 15:30 Location: Grad House, David Clode Room There is increasing scientific recognition that changes to the Arctic freshwater systems have produced, and could produce even greater, changes to bio-geophysical&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/2017\/04\/04\/seminar-by-terry-prowse-on-april-5\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Seminar by Terry Prowse on April 5<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3196,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":386,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385\/revisions\/386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
