Polar zone observatory: Horizon 2050
Context and objectives
Arctic and Antarctic: climatic engines of the planet
Polar areas are responsible for the planet’s climate through their influence on the generation and maintenance of marine currents that distribute cold waters to different latitudes. Changes occurring in polar areas have a significant impact on the planet, directly affecting climate dynamics at other latitudes and global climate processes.
POLARCSIC CREATION
The creation of the Interdisciplinary Thematic Platform: “Polar Zone Observatory: Horizon 2050” originates from the interest in scientific polar research by the numerous CSIC research groups from various disciplines actively working in the Antarctic and Arctic. The synergy between the POLARCSIC participating groups is expected to increase and improve scientific results while embracing an interdisciplinary approach.
POLARCSIC Objectives
Using the White Papers from EU-POLARNet (hppt://www.eu-polarnet.eu) as a conceptual framework , POLARCSIC has short, medium and long-term objectives.
