Matching traditional and scientific observations to detect environmental change: A discussion on Arctic Terrestrial Ecosystems
Article Abstract:
Investigators use TEK of terrestrial ecosystem change in the North American Arctic and results of conventional science investigations increase our understanding of current environmental changes and their impacts. The benefits of combining TEK with conventional science to give new insights into environmental change can be complemented by the creation of collaborative partnerships, and can also lead to new understandings at the personal level.

Model simulations of the Arctic atmospheric boundary layer from the SHEBA year
Article Abstract:
Artic atmospheric boundary-layer modeling is presented with a regional model COAMPS for the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) experiment. It is observed that the near-surface is often too high in winter, except in shorter-periods when the boundary layer is cloud-capped and well-mixed due to cloud-top cooling.
