DESCRIPTION: Precipitation and Drought in Tundra Ecosystems While trad
 itionally temperature has been studied as the key driving force and l
 imitation of terrestrial arctic ecosystems, precipitation and drought
  are increasingly emerging as important drivers of, for instance, tun
 dra plant growth and permafrost thaw. Now that Arctic precipitation d
 ynamics are becoming more intense and extreme, the role of drought li
 mitation and hydrological extremes may become more important. In this
  talk, we will dive into different ways to study and monitor the role
  of precipitation and drought in key tundra ecosystem processes, and 
 explore the overarching challenge of fieldwork in a system in rapid t
 ransition.
