Thematic Network on Arctic Boreal Hub

To learn more about the Arctic Boreal Hub please visit the PEEX webpage or read their latest newsletter. To subscribe the PEEX Arctic-Boreal Hub newsletter, please sign up here.

Overall Goal

The Thematic Network consists of research, research infrastructure and education activities aimed at resolving sustainability questions in the circumpolar Arctic - boreal regions:

to understand the Earth system and the influence of environmental and societal changes in pristine and industrialized of the Arctic - boreal environments
to determine the processes relevant to climate change, demographic development and use of energy resources in the Arctic - boreal regions
to develop the new data sets and archives with continuous, comprehensive data flows in a joint manner
to implement the validated and harmonized data products in models of appropriate spatial and temporal scales and topical focus
to educate the next generation of multidisciplinary experts and scientists capable of finding tools for solving grand challenges
to increase public awareness of climate change impacts in the circumpolar arctic-boreal regions

Main Activities

providing opportunities to take part of a scientific assessment; for example J. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics PEEX Special Issue,
providing contacts to the Northern Eurasian in situ observations stations enabling joint measurement campaigns and contribution to the development of the measurement concepts in a frame of European environmental ESFRIs and GEOSS Cold Regions is situ component.
organizing of special courses, winter/summer schools, workshops and conferences
providing partnerships for educating next generation of multidisciplinary PhDs

Current and Planned Activities

PEEX will host a Special Session at the EGU General Assembly 2021: "Pan-Eurasian EXperiment (PEEX) – Observation, Modelling and Assessment in the Arctic-Boreal Domain". Read more about the session here.
PEEX is currently hosting the AASCO Arctic Science Meeting. The “Arena for the gap analysis of the existing Arctic Science Co-Operations (AASCO)” aims to bring the research communities together. Visit the website here.

Past Activities

INAR took part on the MOSAiC expedition onboard the Polarstern RV from beginning to end (Sep 2019-Sep 2020), through Legs 1-5. For more information, visit https://mosaic-expedition.org/
PEEX Special Session at EGU General Assembly 2020: "Pan-Eurasian EXperiment (PEEX) – Observation, Modelling and Assessment in the Arctic-Boreal Domain".
