A geographer with extensive experience in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere outlines 12 major agents of change currently active in that hemisphere's Northern Rim (lands and seas poleward of 45° N Lat.). These include population trajectories, aboriginal populations, rising air temperatures and precipitation, thawing of permafrost and winter roads, hydrocarbon and agricultural development, sea ice and shipping, ecosystem shifts, and issues of territorial sovereignty. In addition to exploring the current and potential impacts of each agent across the region as a whole, the paper also highlights key differences among the Northern Rim countries (Canada, Greenland/Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, United States) in terms of their responses and/or susceptibilities to these various elements of change
