Understanding Environmental Change and Dynamics in the Arctic Region

Using the Arctic region—a data gap area where the effects of global warming are most pronounced—as our field, we will acquire and publish data for assessing current conditions and making future predictions. This will be achieved by leveraging observational data obtained through field observations and satellite observations based on various international projects, and by utilizing numerical calculations. This will enhance our understanding of the climate and environmental system, including interactions between the ocean, snow and ice, atmosphere, and land, and clarify the role of the Arctic in the global climate. It will also reveal the Arctic's functions that contribute to global environmental change.
