Land-Cover Land-Use Change on the Yamal Peninsula. A project of the Alaska Geobotany Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks with funding from NASA.

3rd Yamal Land-Cover Land-Use Chnage Workshop
Arctic Centre, Rovaniemi, Finland, 19-20 May 2012

The main objectives of the workshop were to

• Present synthesis papers from the work on the Yamal and the Eurasia Arctic Transect.
• Look forward to a new proposal to be submitted to the next round of LCLUC funding.
• Raise a toast at the conclusion of a very successful and productive project.

The dates and location were chosen to take advantage of the timing of the 12th International Circumpolar Remote Sensing Symposium, that is being held in Levi, Finland, 14-18 Finland, where several members of the project presented papers. The Finland location also allowed several Russian participants in the project to travel to the meeting.
