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". The PEEX special session covered topics on Pan-Eurasia and the Arctic. You can find the Abstracts here. Visit our pages for more information on PEEX at EGU.
