Publisher Synopsis
"The ACIA Overview Report is an excellent educational tool that explains the implications of Arctic climate change to the general public and decision makers. It is a reference volume for those who need to find reliable facts about the Arctic and climate change quickly. ACIA is a pedagogical resource since many of its figures and graphs are available on-line and can be easily incorporated into presentations...I believe that readers will appreciate the objective and balanced style of Impacts of a warming Arctic and enjoy the visual impact of this handsome reference volume." - Ecoscience, Derek Mueller, Universite Laval Read more...
