Browsing: Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment

The Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) is a comprehensive, decade-long field campaign initiated by NASA in 2015. It aims to study the impacts of climate change on the ecosystems of the Arctic and boreal regions of North America. By integrating satellite observations, airborne measurements, and ground-based research, ABoVE seeks to understand how environmental changes in these northern high-latitude ecosystems affect the region’s carbon, water, and energy cycles. The findings from this experiment are crucial for predicting future climate scenarios, guiding resource management, and informing policy decisions related to climate change mitigation and adaptation in these sensitive and rapidly changing environments.
