High-latitude national parks on the cusp of change
Sousanes PJ and MacCluskie M. 2023. High-latitude national parks on the cusp of change. Alaska Park Science. 22(1):1-5
The wild lands of Alaska national parks are changing at a rapid pace due to the disproportionate increases in temperature at high latitudes. Uncertainty about cumulative climate changes and how they will impact specific regions is one of the greatest challenges facing park managers. Climate has fundamentally shaped the landscape of high-latitude parks, but now climate change is redefining them.
