The Arctic climate is warming rapidly, and precipitation is changing, with concurrent changes to shrubs, permafrost, and water. However, numerous changes in the water cycle are unexpected and unexplained by current models. The objective of this research project is to make significant advances in both the understanding of, and ability to predict, Arctic water resources at the local scale of interest to northerners. This project will use a combination of novel field observations and experiments, remote sensing and multi-scale modelling to provide robust scenarios of future changes. These are urgently needed to consider, and plan for, future changes in climate.

北极气候正在迅速变暖，降水量正在发生变化，灌木、永久冻土和水也随之发生变化。然而，水循环中的许多变化是出乎意料的，并且当前的模型无法解释。该研究项目的目标是在北方人感兴趣的局部范围内对北极水资源的理解和预测能力方面取得重大进展。该项目将结合新颖的现场观测和实验、遥感和多尺度建模，提供未来变化的可靠场景。迫切需要考虑和规划未来的气候变化。
