2nd International Conference 

Global Warming and the Human - Nature Dimension in Siberia: 

Social Adaptation to the Changes of the Terrestrial Ecosystem, 

with an Emphasis on Water Environments 

 
Yakutsk , Russia , 8 - 1 1 October , 2013 
 
To be held and co-organized with the 
 

7th Annual International Workshop 

C/H2O/Energy balance and climate over boreal and arctic regions 

with special emphasis on eastern Eurasia 

 

Purpose 

Global warming will likely transform Siberian environments. Early evidence indicates that carbon and hydrologic cycles are undergoing rapid change, with potentially grave impact s on Siberian flora and fauna. Human populations, which have adapted to great changes in social structure and environment in the past, will be forced to adapt again, but in this case to an unprecedented sequence of cascading environmental changes. 
 
In 2013 we commemorate 60 years since starting field experimental works at the scientific station "Spasskaya Pad" of IBPC SD RAS. At present, the station is rightfully considered to be a regional research outpost on the study of environmental and global climate changes in the cryolithzone. 
 
This conference will examine three aspects of climate-related environmental change: 1) current and likely future variations in water and carbon cycles ; 2) ongoing field observations and modeling studies of the effects of carbon and hydrologic variability in Eastern Siberian landscapes, and key feedbacks, exchanges and driving forces associated with these effects; and 3) the distinct social-economic impact of climate change on multi-ethnic Siberian societies , and their potential capabilities for adapt ation to projected change sin climate and terrestrial ecosystems. 
Contributions on these three aspects , or on the following key themes, are welcome .
 

Key themes

a) Physical and plant physiological processes of C/H2O/Energy cycles in Siberian ecosystems 
b ) Forest and tundra ecosystem structure related to C/H 2O/Energy cycles 
c ) Permafrost/cold climate processes and their impacts on C/H2O/Energy cycles 
d) Usage of satellite remote sensing technique s and the evelopment of C/H2O/Energy cycle models 
e) Interaction between wild/domesticated animals and terrestrial vegetation 
f) Vulnerabilities of landscapes, human systems, and infrastructures inpermafrost areas 
g) Ethnographic accounts of human - nature relations in conjunction with climate change 
h) Local knowledge of, adaptationstoand policies for responding to the changing climate
i) Research status, cooperative arrangements, and plans for the future
