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，降水正在发生变化，灌木、永久冻土和水也在同时发生变化。然而，水循环中的许多变化是当前模型无法预测和解释的。本研究项目的目标是在了解和预测北极水资源方面取得重大进展，这些水资源与北方人的当地利益有关。该项目将结合新的实地观测和实验、遥感和多尺度建模，提供未来变化的可靠情景。这些都是考虑和规划未来气候变化的迫切需要。
