The focus of this Session will be the studies of changes that affect regional sustainable development in Eurasian Arctic, Boreal Forest Zone, and the Drylands of Northern Eurasia, including building socio-ecological resilience through urban areas and remote settlements of Eurasia. Presentations on environmental, socio-economic, and climatic changes in Northern Eurasia and tools to address these changes are invited. Our Session focuses on the permafrost and the carbon cycle changes over Northern Eurasia. In the regional water cycle studies, our Session focus is on the changing distribution of precipitation and on the pattern and seasonal cycle changes of runoff. For the human dimension studies, we will focus on assessments of the impact of the ongoing environmental changes on human well-being and on mitigation strategies development in response to harmful consequences of these changes. We invite scientists associated with (or interested in) the Northern Eurasia Future Initiative (NEFI; https://nefi-neespi.org/NEFI-WhitePaper.pdf).
