We aim to publish the AASCO perspectives paper with the focus on “Arctic feedbacks and interactions, synthesis and future research needs”, which would contribute, among other things, to the ongoing science diplomacy processes. Perspective paper based on the presentations and discussions during  the 1st AASCO e-meeting on 2-3. November and the 2^nd AASCO event on 9.December 2021. The perspective paper aims for synthesizing the scientific understanding and state-of-the-art for cryosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere feedbacks and interactions, discuss the RI and data needs for answering the key scientific questions related to these feedbacks & interactions. Below you find some recent papers relevant in this context.
