| Description: | The Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI) was launched in 2004 to address large-scale and long-term manifestations of regional climate, environmental, and socioeconomic changes that could affect the rate of global change through atmosphere-biosphere-cryosphere interactions and feedbacks (http://neespi.org). Now, that the first group of NEESPI projects has been completed and a second generation of projects is in a full swing, it is the time to inspect advances in major areas of NEESPI science. We invite presentations on the biogeochemical cycles, the surface energy and water cycles, climate and terrestrial ecosystems interactions in Northern Eurasia (land-cover and land-use, atmospheric aerosols, soil, and, in particular, permafrost and weather extreme changes that affect and are being affected by climate and ecosystems changes), "human dimension" that includes, in addition to regional impact studies of environmental changes, the feedback studies of societal and land-use changes on regional and global environment and climate. |
