Abstract
The Arctic is undergoing rapid environmental change that is creating a variety of environmental, social, political, and economic challenges for the people living in this region. These changes are not limited to the Arctic, but are global, affecting weather, ecosystems, and human society at low, mid, and high latitudes. Many unresolved issues remain concerning the warming phenomenon in the Arctic, its causes, and its effects on mid-latitude regions, and these issues were addressed at the 7th International Symposium on Arctic Research (ISAR-7) held in Tokyo, Japan, from March 6–10, 2023. The symposium was broadly interdisciplinary, with particular emphasis on research in the social sciences and humanities. This special issue of ISAR-7 brings together papers that span a variety of disciplines and their linkages to promote the information and knowledge needed for the future sustainable development of the Arctic.
期刊介绍:
Polar Science is an international, peer-reviewed quarterly journal. It is dedicated to publishing original research articles for sciences relating to the polar regions of the Earth and other planets. Polar Science aims to cover 15 disciplines which are listed below; they cover most aspects of physical sciences, geosciences and life sciences, together with engineering and social sciences. Articles should attract the interest of broad polar science communities, and not be limited to the interests of those who work under specific research subjects. Polar Science also has an Open Archive whereby published articles are made freely available from ScienceDirect after an embargo period of 24 months from the date of publication.
