This volume is a compilation of studies on interactions of
land-cover/land-use change with climate in a region where the
climate warming is most pronounced compared to other areas of the
globe. The climate warming in the far North, and in the Arctic
region of Northern Eurasia in particular, affects both the
landscape and human activities, and hence human dimensions are an
important aspect of the topic. Environmental pollution together
with climate warming may produce irreversible damages to the
current Arctic ecosystems. Regional land-atmosphere feedbacks may
have large global importance. Remote sensing is a primary tool in
studying vast northern territories where in situ observations are
sporadic. State-of-the-art methods of satellite remote sensing
combined with GIS and models are used to tackle science questions
and provide an outlook of current land-cover changes and potential
scenarios for the future. Audience: The book is a truly
international effort involving U.S. and European scientists. It is
directed at the broad science community including graduate
students, academics and other professionals in this field.
