PAGE21 now on Facebook and Twitter

The Arctic Portal is pleased to announce that PAGE 21 (Changing Permafrost in the Arctic and its Global Effects in the 21st Century) project has now been active on social media.

We would like to invite everyone to join and follow PAGE 21 on Facebook and Twitter.

The PAGE21 is a Large-scale integrating collaborative project under the ENV call topic "Vulnerability of Arctic permafrost to climate change and implications for global GHG emissions and future climate" (ENV.2011.1.1.3-1) coordinated by Prof. Hans-Wolfgang Hubberten (AWI).

The project aims to understand and quantify the vulnerability of permafrost environments to a changing global climate, and to investigate the feedback mechanisms associated with increasing greenhouse gas emissions from permafrost zones.

This research makes use of a unique set of Arctic permafrost investigations performed at stations that span the full range of Arctic bioclimatic zones. The project brings together the best European permafrost researchers and eminent scientists from Canada, Russia, the USA, and Japan.
