A better understanding of land-atmosphere-ocean feedbacks and interactions is essential for developing effective strategies for sustainable development of the Arctic region. Further, this understanding is crucial for improving mitigation and adaptation plans and transforming them into actionable services for Arctic stakeholders and Indigenous communities. In this paper, we highlight key topics in Arctic research from atmospheric, oceanic, and cryospheric perspectives and offer insights into the latest research on interactions and feedback mechanisms in the Arctic region, particularly from the natural sciences perspective. Our approach synthesizes insights from the Arena for the Gap Analysis of Existing Arctic Science Co-Operations (AASCO-1) project (2020–2022), which calls for further development of integrated observation systems and the fusion of data from diverse sources, extending beyond traditional scientific boundaries.
