Climate warming is initiating several major changes to polar regions. In the Arctic, warmer and wetter conditions are causing landscapes to green, as treelines move northward and vegetation becomes more productive. Arctic greening has the potential to change local ecosystems, northern communities, and the Earth system. In this presentation, Bowdoin Professor Phil Camill will offer insights on arctic greening worldwide and will showcase, with a photo tour and some preliminary data, the view from one of his research sites: Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. At Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Visual Arts Center, Beam Classroom, April 29, 7:30 pm.
