DESCRIPTION:A series of excellent short (15-minute) talks\, coinciding wit
 h the visit of several Arctic researchers from the USA\, Finland\, and Den
 mark.\n\nPlease join us to hear some of the variety of research activities
  ongoing in the Arctic region\, with nine talks encompassing the carbon bu
 dget in the Arctic\, tundra vegetation responses to climate change\, perma
 frost dynamics\, participatory research in social-ecological systems\, Arc
 tic palaeo-ecology and phylogeography\, remote sensing\, the role of anima
 ls in Arctic Earth system processes\, and tracking the expansion of boreal
  species into tundra environments.\n\nThe seminar with end with a 30 minut
