The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is currently accepting abstract
submissions for the 2014 Fall Meeting. The meeting will be held 15-19
December 2014 in San Francisco, California.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The abstract submission tool is new this year. AGU
organizers strongly recommend review of a tutorial on the abstract
submission process prior to submission.
Conveners of the following three sessions invite presentations from the
Arctic community:
Session 2055: Extratropical and High-latitude Storms, Teleconnections,
and the Changing Arctic Climate
Conveners: Xiangdong Zhang and Kent Moore.
Session description: Synoptic storms and large-scale teleconnections are
prominent features characterizing daily-to-decadal atmosphere and
climate variability in extratropics and high-latitudes. Storms bring
extreme weather to the extratropical and polar regions, and are directly
responsible for major high-wind events, large ocean waves and surges,
coastal flooding and erosion, and rapid temperature changes.
Teleconnection patterns play modulating roles in storm activity. Storms
and teleconnections have demonstrated systematic variation in their
intensities, frequencies, and locations, leading to alterations of
feedback processes and, in turn, contributing to climate variability and
change. This session will continually provide a venue to present new
progress on extratropical and high-latitude storm activity,
teleconnections, and associated physical feedback processes in a
changing Arctic climate, as well as ecosystem- and societal impacts.

Session 2571: Advancing Science of the Arctic System: Observing,
Modeling and Prediction of Critical Processes, Feedbacks and Their Role
in Climate Change
Conveners: Wieslaw Maslowski, Scott Harper, Phillip Jones,
and Renu Joseph.
Session description: The Arctic is a complex system that has experienced
some of the most extreme environmental changes, such as declining
cryosphere, warmer climate and ecosystem shifts, which influence the
global surface energy and moisture budget, atmospheric and oceanic
circulation, and feedbacks. Limited observational data, large
variability and sensitivity of Arctic climate to global change make
attribution of these changes difficult. Yet, such changes may
significantly impact future global climate change and sea level. In
addition, improved representation of processes and feedbacks affecting
Arctic climate is expected to advance predictive skill of Earth System
models, both in the Arctic and its linkage with lower latitudes.
Conveners solicit papers that advance a system level understanding of
arctic processes (e.g. mesoscale eddies, ice deformation, clouds),
feedbacks (e.g. air-ice-sea exchange) and their spatio-temporal links
that are contributing to or resulting from Arctic System variability and
change and are affecting uncertainty of Arctic climate prediction.

Session 1480: Culture and Arctic Climate Change: Integrating Long-Term
Perspectives from Archaeology and the Environmental Sciences
Conveners: Peter Jordan, Max Friesen, and Mary-Louise Timmermans.
Session description: Observational evidence indicates that the Arctic is
undergoing significant climate change; records show increasing
atmospheric and ocean temperatures, ocean freshening, rising sea levels,
melting permafrost and decline of sea and land ice. However, this kind
of major climate change is not a new phenomenon in the Arctic system.
For many millennia, human groups have settled the entire circumpolar
region, and depended on the dynamic Arctic environment for their basic
livelihoods and to support elaborate cultural life. This session brings
together researchers working across the full range of geoscientific
disciplines in order to investigate and refine current understandings of
the complex relationship between the Arctic environment and the
archaeology of long-term human cultural responses, viewed in terms of
both fragility and resilience. Primary focus will be on examination of
the region during the Holocene, ~ the past 12 000 years, which is marked
by distinct warm and cool periods.

The abstract submission deadline for all sessions is Wednesday, 6 August
2014 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
