Purpose
This site is designed to act as an information source for researchers
working on land related projects in Eurasia. The site aims to bring
together links to existing networks, projects and researchers in the
region or working in the region. The site does not present any new information, rather it brings
together links to relevant website, data
sources, details of meetings etc.
The
Northern Eurasia Earth System Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI)
is an active, yet evolving program of internationally-supported Earth
systems science research. The geographic focus of NEESPI is Northern
Eurasia, an area of the globe that is undergoing significant changes
with potential consequences for global change. The goal of NEESPI is to
develop a comprehensive understanding of Northern Eurasian terrestrial
ecosystem dynamics, biogeochemical cycles, surface energy, water cycles
and human activities and their interaction with the biosphere,
atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Further details of the aims and objectives
of NEESPI can be found at
www.neespi.org.
NEESPI has several focus research centres. The
Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory (NREL)
at Colorado State University, USA is a NEESPI
Focus Research Center for Land Use Studies. As part of this
role NREL have set up The
Eurasia Land Network.
It is hoped that this site will enable researchers to identify
potential project partners, inform them of forthcoming meetings and
funding opportunities.
