Arctic and Environmental Change

Presented at The Arctic and Environmental Change meeting held by the Royal Society in October 1994, the fourteen papers which form the basis of this book contain a wide-ranging review of Arctic environmental change in response to global warming, and also give a broad insight into the transformation of the Arctic which we can expect during the next century. It will be an invaluable reference for anyone seeking a greater understanding of the factors and processes affecting the Arctic environment which may ultimately have a major impact on global climatic change.
