NEESPI Data Support: Enhancing Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership

Explore the collaborative efforts of the Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership (NEESPI), focusing on scientific research, data support, and international collaboration in the Northern Eurasia region. Discover the key scientific questions, major topics, and research strategies driving NEESPI's initiatives. With a network of over 90 scientists from 11 countries, NEESPI aims to understand the impacts of climatic and environmental changes on terrestrial ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, and energy-water-carbon cycles. Learn about the NEESPI Study Area covering regions like the Former Soviet Union, Northern China, Mongolia, Fennoscandia, and Eastern Europe. Follow the project's progress, including funded research projects and NEESPI Science Plan details. This comprehensive overview showcases NEESPI's commitment to advancing earth science knowledge through data-driven research and international cooperation.

  1. Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership and International Polar Year: Data Support Pavel Groisman NEESPI Project Scientist UCAR Project Scientist at National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, NC, USA

  2. The NEESPI Study Area NEESPI Study Area includes: Former Soviet Union, Northern China, Mongolia, Fennoscandia, & Eastern Europe

  3. Rationale for NEESPI 1. Strong interactions in the system terrestrial ecosystem - atmosphere hydrosphere - cryosphere - human society and feedbacks to global energy, water, and carbon cycles in the region 2. Strong climatic and environmental changes….

RESEARCH STRATEGY Scientific Background Appendix TOOLS

  5. Current NEESPI statistics NEESPI Science Plan Preparation Team includes more than 90 scientists (representing mostly academia) from 11 countries with the majority of them are from the United States and Russia. Twenty eight individual research projects (always with the international participation) are currently funded and approximately the same number of projects are pending under the NEESPI umbrella. 187 scientists of 119 institutions from 26 countries are participating in the first 28 funded projects

  7. Currently, we envision six NEESPI Focus Research Centers • Existing: • Center for Cold Land Processes and Arctic Coastal Studies [at the University of Alaska- Fairbanks] • Center for Water System Studies • Center on Aerosol Studies • Center for Land Use Studies • Center for Biogeochemical Cycle Studies Projected: Center for Integration of the NEESPI Results and Modeling Studies

  8. Currently, we envision five NEESPI Science Support Centers • Within the United States • For hydrometeorological information: • National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, NC • For remote sensing information: • Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD Within the Russian Federation • For hydrometeorological information: • Research Inst. For Hydrometeorological Information, Obninsk, Kaluga Area • For remote sensing information: • SCANEX Corp., Moscow Within China • Beijing Climate Center

Terrestrial Cryosphere Sub-Topic: Cold Land Processes in the Northern Hemisphere IPY proposal # 138 “Cold Land Processes in the Northern Hemisphere continents and their Coastal Zone: Regional and Global Climate and Societal-Ecosystem Linkages and Interactions” Project coordinators: Pavel Ya. Groisman Vladimir M. Kotlyakov UCAR/NCDC, USA RAS IG, Russian Federation On November 2, 2005, the project was endorsed as an IPY core Project by ICSU/WMO Joint Committee for the International Polar Year 2007-2008
