We bring an extensive library of current research literature with us on the trip. We will regularly assign readings and discuss research papers of interest.

Topics include:

• Global change research: Potential influences of climate and land-use change.
• Arctic transitions: Extrapolating what we know in space and time - from field measures to modeling.
• Biocomplexity: Understanding complex biological systems in the Arctic.
• Caribou research: Migration, climate, vegetation, and hunting.
