One of the issues very much on everybodys lips is the access to data and the overall data management within the project itself as well as across projects and continents.

Other issue very much emphasized in the PAGE21 project is the close cooperation of the "field scientists" collecting and anaysing the permafrost and the climate modelling scientists to develop and enhance the global climate models.

 

Overall, the project is on a very good path to fulfill its objectives and the consortium is determined to continue the good work.

 

Next PAGE21 General Assembly will be held in Abisko in Northern Sweden from 23. - 27. September 2013 in conjunction with the FP7 funded INTERACT project. International media representatives as well as Young Researchers will be especially invited to this meeting.
