  • Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM)
    Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM)

    The primary goal of the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) program is to observe the response of the active layer and near-surface permafrost to climate change over long (multi-decadal) time scales. The CALM observational network, established in the 1990s, observes the long-term response of the active layer and near-surface permafrost to changes and variations in climate at more than 200 sites in both hemispheres.

  • Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP)
    Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP)

    The Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP) is an international network of scientists, governments, Indigenous organizations and conservation groups working to harmonize and integrate efforts to monitor the Arctic's living resources.

  • Climate and Cryosphere (CliC)
    Climate and Cryosphere (CliC)

    CliC is a Core Project of the World Climate Research Program. It is a global community of scientists investigating the cryosphere and its interactions with the climate system. Its expertise includes modeling, observations, cross-disciplinary work, and stakeholder engagement.

  • DBAR - Digital Belt and Road
    DBAR - Digital Belt and Road

    The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (consolidated as the “Belt and Road”) Initiative seeks to enable its participants to address the challenges posed by climate variability, intensified use of land and marine resources, and the fragility of many ecosystems.

  • EALÁT Project
    EALÁT Project

    EALÁT is a Reindeer Herders Vulnerability Network Study and is a project that examines reindeer pastoralism in the light of climate change. The primary research institution in EALÁT is the Sámi University College-Nordic Sámi Institute (SUC-NSI). A wide number of other research institutions are involved in the project, along with the Association of World Reindeer Herders(WRH) and the International Centre for Reindeer Husbandry. All these bodies are located in the heart of the Sámi region, Guovdageaidnu-Kautokeino, Norway.

    EALÁT focuses on the adaptive capacity of reindeer pastoralism to climate variability and change and, in particular, on the integration of reindeer herders’ knowledge in the study and analysis of their ability to adapt to environmental variability and change. The Ealát project is Project Number 399 in the International Polar Year Scheme.

  • EDU-ARCTIC
    EDU-ARCTIC

    EDU-ARCTIC is an EU-funded project focused on using Arctic research as a vehicle to strengthen science education curricula all across Europe. It aims to encourage students aged 13 to 20 to pursue further education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

  • European Polar Board (EPB)
    European Polar Board (EPB)

    The European Polar Board (EPB) is an independent organisation focused on major strategic priorities in the Arctic and Antarctic. EPB Members include research institutes, logistics operators, funding agencies, scientific academies and government ministries from across Europe.

  • EU Polar Cluster
    EU Polar Cluster

    The EU Polar Cluster is a network of collaborative polar projects, which are funded by the European Commission, and four permanent members: the EPB, APECS, SIOS and EuroGOOS. The cluster thus merges a broad spectrum of research and coordination activities – ranging from the most up-to-date findings on permafrost and sea ice, from enhancing observation to improving predictions, and from networking research stations to coordinating access to icebreakers.

  • Fishing Cultural Heritage Network (Fishernet)
    Fishing Cultural Heritage Network (Fishernet)

    Fishernet aims of preserving, disseminating and using fishing- and coastal cultural heritage in addition to strenghten the networking activity related to this important topic. A vital compenent in dissemination activity is the collection of various types of material related to fishing cultural heritage, article, essays etc. and making it readily available on the internet, thus providing easy access for the general public and other interested stakeholders.

  • Fluxnet
    Fluxnet

    FLUXNET is a global network of micrometeorological tower sites that use eddy covariance methods to measure the exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. More than 500 tower sites around the world are operating on a long-term basis. The overarching goal of the FLUXNET data collection at ORNL DAAC is to provide information for validating remote sensing products for net primary productivity (npp), evaporation, and energy absorption.

  • Forum of Arctic Research Operators (FARO)
    Forum of Arctic Research Operators (FARO)

    Forum of Arctic Research Operators (FARO) is a country membership organization that promotes dialogue on logistics and operational support for scientific research in the Arctic.

    FARO facilitates information exchange, establishment of cooperation and development of new ideas among national operators of ships, stations and aircrafts in the Arctic. FARO enables countries to optimize logistics and operational support for scientific research in the Arctic.

  • Global Climate Observing System (GCOS)
    Global Climate Observing System (GCOS)

    GCOS regularly assesses the status of global climate observations and produces guidance for its improvement. GCOS works towards a world where climate observations are accurate and sustained, and access to climate data is free and open.

  • Global Terrestrial Network for Glaciers (GTN-G)
    Global Terrestrial Network for Glaciers (GTN-G)

    The Global Terrestrial Network for Glaciers (GTN-G) is the framework for the internationally coordinated monitoring of glaciers and ice caps in support of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The network, authorized under the Global Climate/Terrestrial Observing Systems (GCOS, GTOS), is jointly run by the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS), the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), and the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space initiative (GLIMS).

  • Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTN-P)
    Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTN-P)

    The Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTN-P) is the primary international programme concerned with monitoring permafrost parameters. GTN-P was developed by the International Permafrost Association (IPA) under the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) and the Global Terrestrial Observing Network (GTOS) in 1999, with the long term goal of obtaining a comprehensive view of the spatial structure, trends, and variability of changes in the active layer thickness and permafrost temperature.

  • Ice Logistics Portal
    Ice Logistics Portal

    The Ice Logistics Portal was created as a joint initiative of the International Ice Charting Working Group, the JCOMM Expert Team on Sea Ice and Polar View for the International Polar Year. It is now maintained by the German Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie. It is intended to create a convenient point of access to operational sea ice information produced by the world's ice services. Access to products is provided via a series of pre-defined regions for both the Arctic and the Antarctic. Since the primary focus of the Ice Logistics Portal is on operational sea ice data (i.e. ice charts), only the most recent information is displayed for any given region.

  • Iceland Renewable Energy Cluster
    Iceland Renewable Energy Cluster

    The Iceland Renewable Energy Cluster serves as a collaborative platform for companies and institutions involved in the Icelandic energy sector, encompassing the entire value chain. Its primary objective is to enhance the competitiveness of its members and the overall society while showcasing the offerings of its members. As a joint platform, the cluster brings together various stakeholders from the energy sector, including companies and institutions engaged in different aspects of the industry. By covering the entire value chain, from production to distribution, the cluster facilitates collaboration and cooperation among its members.

    One of the cluster's key roles is to support its members in increasing their competitiveness and to serve as a representative voice for its members, advocating for their interests and promoting their contributions to the energy sector, both locally and internationally.
