CIRC is part of the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science at Ume=
=C3=A5
University and
undertakes research on how environmental changes affect high-latitude
ecosystems. Important parts of the research aim to integrate terrestrial
and aquatic processes, to understand ecological dynamics and biogeochemical
cycles at various spatial and temporal scales, and to assess the impact
thereon of changes in climate or other environmental factors. Most of the
research activities are based at the Abisko Scientific Research Station and
the surrounding mountain region, www.emg.umu.se/english/research/circ/.

Ume=C3=A5 University wants to offer an environment where open dialogue betw=
een
people with different backgrounds and perspectives lay the foundation for
