Papers are invited for Session PP27: "The Last Two Millennia in the
Arctic: A Long-Term Context for Present-Day Changes" being convened at
the AGU Fall Meeting on 10-14 December 2007 in San Francisco,
California.
Session description:
The International Polar Year will spotlight the rapid physical and
biological changes ongoing in polar regions. Given the short span of
instrumental and documentary records from high latitudes, paleo-data and
modeling studies play essential roles in contextualizing and
understanding current changes. This session aims to explore the range,
patterns, and causes of natural variability in the Arctic and sub-arctic
over the last two thousand years. Session conveners solicit papers that
characterize high-latitude climatic, cryospheric, and ecological
variability over at least the last thousand years and ideally the last
two millennia. Continuous time-series of climate and environmental
variability that extend through the 20th century are particularly
welcomed, as are contributions describing relevant modeling studies.
