Professor Torben R. Christensen has contributed as lead author to a major international assessment of the status of Arctic climate and environment, "Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic" (SWIPA). The authors were interviewed for a short film now available.
The SWIPA report was released on 25th April 2017 at a conference in Washington "Bringing knowledge to action" organised by the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment program.
A short film has been released containing interviews and sequences in the field with the main authors of the assessment, including Torben R. Christensen.
The Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (SWIPA) assessment is coordinated by The Arctic Monitoring Assessment Programme (AMAP), which in turn, is one of six Working Groups of the Arctic Council. The assessment is produced in collaboration with the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), World Meteorological Organization/Climate and Cryosphere project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), and International Arctic Social Sciences Association (IASSA).
