    New series of PAGE21 winter blogs

    Some of the PAGE21 young researchers have departed to remote Arctic areas to gather winter flux measurements.

    Findings from their expeditions will be published weekly through the PAGE21 winter blogs. There you can learn about temperatures in the Arctic during harsh winter season, weather conditions and difficulties it can cause for humans ‘activities.

    What is more, you can learn the basics about the Arctic permafrost and get the insight into the real work of researchers.

    PAGE21 blogs have been published since summer 2012. They have gotten great recognition from scientists, general public and policy makers. For last two years they have been visited over 300 000 times.

    PAGE21 project aims to understand and quantify the vulnerability of permafrost environments to a changing global climate, and to investigate the feedback mechanisms associated with increasing greenhouse gas emissions from permafrost zones.

    This research will make use of a unique set of Arctic permafrost investigations performed at stations that span the full range of Arctic bioclimatic zones. The project will bring together the best European permafrost researchers and eminent scientists from Canada, Russia, the USA, and Japan.

    The PAGE21 is a Large-scale integrating collaborative project under the ENV call topic “Vulnerability of Arctic permafrost to climate change and implications for global GHG emissions and future climate” (ENV.2011.1.1.3-1) coordinated by Professor Hans-Wolfgang Hubberten from AWI.

    Today, Sunday the 22nd of September, permafrost young researchers gathered in Abisko during the 2nd Page21 General Assembly Young Researchers workshop.

    Scientists are being part of PAGE21 project which is is a Large-scale integrating collaborative project under the ENV call topic “Vulnerability of Arctic permafrost to climate change and implications for global GHG emissions and future climate” (ENV.2011.1.1.3-1) coordinated by Professor Hans-Wolfgang Hubberten from AWI.

    Young researchers discussed several topics to include protocols and data management, general challenges in permafrost research as well as cooperation with Page21´s Canadian partner – ADAPT.

    Presentation on project´s communication and outreach strategies was given to inform about great success of this summer´s blogs that were written by young researchers during their work in the Arctic field sites.

    Blog have received over 10 000 entries during few months and the number is still growing.
    Arctic Portal who is hosting PAGE21 website and administrating Work Package 1: ´´Communication and Outreach´´ decided to keep on with blogs project to bring even more awareness to important permafrost research.

    At the beginning of next month both partners will also start new series of Young Researchers Profiles in order to bring more recognition to scientists committed to the project.

    After indoor part of the workshop, group of scientists attended field exercises.

    Young scientists will attend PAGE21 General Assembly that starts tomorrow and lasts until Tuesday.

    PAGE21 young researchers have just started their fall season of permafrost investigation in remote areas, located in the northern hemisphere. So far we have received interesting writings from Samoylov and Zackenberg, located in North – East Greenland.

    While collecting data on permafrost temperature, CO2 and CH4 fluxes, delegates from all the research stations, explain the particularity of the research done at each site. What is more they describe adventures, dangers and exciting daily life in remote Arctic locations.

    PAGE21 young researchers have continued their season of permafrost investigation in remote areas, located in the northern hemisphere.

    Teams of scientists took off to Kytalyk and Herschel Island in the end of June. Researchers will come back to their home institutions at the beginning of September.

    Young researchers gathered yesterday at the University of Iceland

    Yesterday, 20th of March, young researchers met at the University of Iceland in order to discuss and present their on-going research work. Friendly and informal meeting involved young engineers, natural and social scientists.

    Ph.D and Master students from various parts of the world, to include Italy and Iran got a chance to present their high quality research, carried out at various highly recognized universities, to include University of Akureyri, Iceland, Tromso University in northern Norway and many others.

    Research topics were greatly focused around the Arctic issues and touched upon biosciences, fisheries, law, politics and international affairs. The meeting created the platform for information, knowledge and experience exchange and allowed the development of new ideas and further interaction between representatives of various disciplines.

    The meeting was chaired by Margaret Cela, the Project Manager of new Centre for Arctic Policy Studies, University of Iceland. The Centre which was formally opened on Tuesday, during the international meeting: ”Trans – Arctic Agenda” will be the forum for interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of Arctic research with emphasis on the role and policies of states and institutions, non – state and corporate actors, and broader aspects of governance, culture and society in the High North.
