The Arctic Freshwater Synthesis (AFS) project was led and coordinated by the World Climate Research Programme’s (WCRP) Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) Project, in partnership with the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and the Arctic Council’s Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP). The AFS is a contribution to the 3rd International Conference on Arctic Re- search Planning (ICARP III), the WCRP’s Grand Challenges, and AMAP’s 2016 update assessment of Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (SWIPA).
