The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is accepting abstracts for the 2024 AGU Fall Meeting. This hybrid meeting will take place 9-13 December 2024 in Washington, D.C. and online.
The following sessions are accepting abstracts:
SESSION GC007: Advancements in Understanding and Predicting High-Latitude Earth Systems Changes and Their Associated Global Impacts
Conveners: Wieslaw Maslowski, Georgina Gibson, Julienne Christine Stroeve, and Hailong Wang
Recent changes in the high-latitude Earth systems (HLES) continue emphasizing these complex and interconnected regions being the most sensitive to global warming. Key examples in the Arctic include: (i) surface warming nearly four times faster than the global average, (ii) more frequent atmospheric rivers, and (iii) increases in ocean heat storage as a result of decreasing sea ice cover. The sea ice cover around Antarctica is reaching record lows, both in summer and winter. Expanding observation networks and reducing model uncertainties are critical to advancing knowledge of the HLES underlying processes and dynamical coupling.
This session invites presentations on HLES topics from the atmosphere through to the biosphere including local events/processes, coupling across the HLES, and global impacts. Synthesis of observations with modeling results, investigations of internal variability, forced responses, and explorations of extreme events in the polar regions, as well as polar/lower-latitude teleconnections and their predictability are particularly welcome.

SESSION PP027: Paleoceanography, Paleoclimate, and Paleoecology of the Arctic—North Pacific—North Atlantic Gateways and Surrounding Borderlands
Conveners: Beth Caissie, Jesse R. Farmer, and David Harning
Over glacial-interglacial cycles, a complex sea level history modified the connectivity of the Arctic to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The alternation between land bridges and ocean gateways impacted global ocean circulation and atmospheric teleconnections. Furthermore, as we face a seasonally sea ice-free Arctic in the next few decades, we predict major impacts to seasonality, humidity, and ice sheet stability around the Arctic and its borderlands. In this session, conveners invite presentations that investigate changes in climate, terrestrial ecology, sea surface temperature, ocean currents, sea ice, relative sea level, and other key parameters across this vast region during the Plio-Pleistocene. Conveners encourage presentations that utilize proxy application or modelling approaches as well as those that examine marine-terrestrial connections in locations such as Beringia, the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Greenland, and Western North America, among other places.
