Climate Change Statement
The study of Polar Regions has never been more important due to human-induced changes to the global climate. These regions are experiencing dramatic changes with global implications because they are closely coupled to other parts of Earth’s environment through the oceans and atmosphere. The Polar Citizen Science Collective supports projects that enhance understanding of the role of the Polar Regions in the global earth system including impacts caused by human-induced climate change.
The Polar Collective and the data that we collect, support the human influence on the warming climate as per the IPCC reports (https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-working-group-i/)
