Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice (BE-OI)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2016, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2019,
To better constrain the response of Earth’s climate system to continuing emissions, it is essential to turn to the past. A key advance would be to understand the transition in Earth’s climate response to changes in orbital forcing during the 'mid-Pleistocene transition' (900 to 1200 thousand years ago) and in particular the role of greenhouse gases. Unravelling such key linkages between the carbon ...

Ice, Climate, and Economics - Arctic Research on Change (ICE-ARC)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
The ICE-ARC project aims to understand and quantify the multiple stresses involved in the change in the Arctic marine environment. Particular focus is on the rapid retreat and collapse of the Arctic sea ice cover and to assess the climatic (ice, ocean, atmosphere and ecosystem), economic and social impacts of these stresses on regional and global scales.It is not possible to look at one aspect of ...

Pollutants accumulation and effects in relation to trophic niches of the high-arctic ivory gull (IVORYGULL)
Date du début: 1 mai 2014, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,
The Arctic is a coastal system that acts as a sink for chemicals produced and released in industrialized parts of the world that are transported northwards by sea, air and water masses, making it a truly global problem. Seabirds living in this ecosystem, such as the ivory gull (Pagophila eburnea), are particularly vulnerable to contaminants because they bioaccumulate toxic compounds throughout the ...

International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic (INTERACT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Environmental change and particularly amplified global climate change are accelerating in the Arctic. These changes already affect local residents and feedback from the Arctic’s land surface to the climate system, will have global implications. However, climate change and its impacts are variable throughout the wide environmental and land use envelopes of the Arctic. Unfortunately, the Arctic is g ...

Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society (ACCESS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,
The Arctic is engaged in a deep climatic evolution. This evolution is quite predictable at short (year) and longer scales (several decades), but it is the decadal intermediate scale that is the most difficult to predict. This is because the natural variability of the system is large and dominant at this scale, and the system is highly non linear due to positive and negative feedback between sea ic ...

Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System - Preparatory Phase (SIOS-PP)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
"Environmental change and climate change in particular, are expected to be most pronounced in the polar regions. For this reason, a multi-disciplinary research infrastructure covering all important elements of the coupled Earth System in the Arctic is a very valuable tool to quantify the ongoing global change and to verify the capability of Earth System models to predict future changes. The propos ...

"Ecological response to environmental change during Boreal mass extinctions: past, present, and future?" (BOREX)
Date du début: 1 mai 2012, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2014,
"The UN is discussing a system of governance of the world’s oceans, amid fears of marine extinction. The greatest threats are warming, oxygen depletion, acidification, and eutrophication. But what does Earth’s past reveal about its future? Parallels can be drawn with the Middle and end-Permian, and Triassic-Jurassic extinctions, in which all aforementioned stresses are implicated. Intense research ...

Ice2sea - estimating the future contribution of continental ice to sea-level rise (ice2sea)
Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,
The melting of continental ice (glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets) is a substantial source of current sea-level rise, and one that is accelerating more rapidly than was predicted even a few years ago. Indeed, the most recent report from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlighted that the uncertainty in projections of future sea-level rise is dominated by uncertainty concerning continen ...

Training in sources, sinks and impacts of atmospheric nitrogen deposition in the Arctic (NSINK)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,
The NSINK Initial Stage Network training network targets one of the most vital, interdisciplinary problems facing future Arctic environmental management: namely the enrichment of Arctic terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by reactive atmospheric nitrogen from low latitude emission centres. This problem will greatly exacerbate ecosystem response to climate change, and urgently requires holistic, sou ...
