ARCTOS - Arctic Marine Ecosystem Research Network

The book: Arctic Tipping Points

Read more...The book Arctic Tipping Points is the work of researchers, journalists and artists connected to the EU research project Arctic Tipping Points (ATP).  It identifies elements of the Arctic ecosystem likely to show abrupt changes in response to climate change. The book aims to raise awareness of tipping points and what they signify among policy-makers and society as a whole. The images, anecdotes and reflections contained in its pages relate the story of the Arctic in a way that will appeal to a wide spectrum of readers, so they understand both the fascination that the region exerts and the multiple threats that now confront it.
