High-latitude Fires, Arctic Climate, Environment, and health (HiFACE)

The workshop focuses on high latitude vegetation fires and their linkages to environmental change and societal impacts in the Arctic. The workshop will be arranged under PACES, with co-sponsorship from a recently-funded 2M Euro Belmont Forum project “Arctic Community Resilience to Boreal Environmental change: Assessing Risks from fire and disease (ACRoBEAR)” and from the Norwegian Research Council. The aims of the workshop will be to share current state-of-the-art understanding on landscape fire impacts on high latitude climate, ecosystems and air quality, and to explore inter-disciplinary linkages that could help drive forward new research on this topic. 

The workshop is co-funded through the IASC cross-cutting funds with contributions from the IASC Atmosphere WG, Social & Human WG and Terrestrial WG.
