Science
Climate change and modernisation provide both enormous challenges and opportunities for the Arctic. Intense research and assessments document the impacts of human activities and climate change at regional and global scales, and help discover ways to conserve the ecological and cultural resources in the Arctic. Environmental policy and economic development in the Arctic needs to be based on sound knowledge and improved technologies and Arctic Frontiers Science provides an arena for latest findings in environmental and technological research in the region. This part of Arctic Frontiers is organised by independent science committees.
Arctic Frontiers Science 2018 takes place Tuesday 23 January until Thursday 25 January 2018 and will address the following topics:

Forecast systems for the Arctic suffer from a dearth of observations. This raises the uncertainty of both wind and current forecasts. This translates into uncertainty of the drift of an object and ultimately affects the size of the search area. Can we reduce the size of search areas by improving our forecast systems for the atmosphere and the ocean? And can ensemble forecasts give us a better handle on the uncertainty if we are unable to reduce it? This discussion will highlight the challenges to Arctic forecast systems and the consequences for search and rescue operations in the high north.
