Resilience in Rapidly Changing Arctic Systems (Arctic II 2019)

This Collaborative Research Action (CRA) focused on the Arctic region and aimed at bringing together researchers and other expertise across the globe to develop proposals from integrated teams of scientists and stakeholders to address key areas of arctic resilience, understanding and action.    This collaboration of academic and non-academic knowledge systems constitutes a transdisciplinary approach that advances not only understanding of the fundamentals of arctic resilience but also spurs action, informs decision-making, and translates into solutions for resilience. This CRA was launched in 2018 and ended in 202X. It was supported by:

NSERC, DAFSHE, ANR, RANNIS, JST, NWO, RCN, RFBR, Formas, BOEM, and NSF

Eight projects were selected:
