  1. Cryosol Working GroupCWG – IPA/IUSShttp://igras.geonet.ru/cwg/

  2. Goals of the Cryosol Working Group for 2004-2008 • To develop a Circumpolar Soil Carbon Database that can be used to improve our understanding of soil carbon distribution and dynamics in permafrost-affected soils. • To develop an Arctic and Antarctic Soil Databases to enhance the classification and distribution of permafrost soils. • To evaluate soil carbon dynamics, sink and sources in cold environments (at high latitudes and altitudes). • To investigate the effect of global change on the genesis and properties of soils with permafrost. • To cooperate with other IPA and IUSS working groups and to supply them with the data on soil temperature and other soil properties

  3. Arctic and Antarctic Soil Database: Why? Soil diversity: S = f (c, p, r, o, t)

  4. Contribution of Cryosol Working Group CWG is an open platform to discuss and workout soil related questions in Antarctic and Arctic: • to database: soil parameter set • to data quality: criteria for validation • to data status quo/ monitoring: aggregating existing soil data • to future data collection /monitoring: prepare a manual for field work „Manual for Minimum / Maximum Soil Data Set“

  5. CWG next steps Continue and intensify the exchange during the next different international meetings: Madison 17th Nov. 2004, Rm 205 Potsdam 12-16 June 2005 Arkhangelsk, 3-8th August 2005 Philadelphia IUSS, 9-15 July 2006

  6. ….oooh, an other Confernce!!!

  7. IV International Conference on Cryopedology CRYOSOLS: GENESIS, ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT Arkhangelsk, Russia, August 1-8, 2005 http://igras.geonet.ru/cwg/

  8. It‘s fine here! Why should we go to Arkhangelsk?

  9. Scientific Programme of Arkhangelsk 2005 Thematic sessions : • Genesis, classification and terminology of Cryosols • Soil databases and mapping of Cryosols in Arctic and Antarctic • Paleocryosols as indicators of the past environments and climate change • Carbon pools and functions of Cryosols for the polar ecosystems • Contamination of soil landscapes in the north • Cryosols' features and regimes: Change due to different management Round table: • Approaches to environmentally oriented interpretations of soil data in polar regions

  10. Let‘s go and learn from Arctic Cryosols!

  11. IV International Conference on Cryopedology CRYOSOLS: GENESIS, ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT Arkhangelsk, Russia, August 1-8, 2005 http://igras.geonet.ru/cwg/

  12. Investigation using δ13C-SOM-analysis could help to predict environment and climate change on the sensitive Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems. …. more diversity in our system!
