CAPaBLE Funded Projects- 2007/2008
Capacity Building Project

CBA2007-08NSY-Gordov

Title Capacity Building to Study Interrelations between Atmospheric Composition, Anthropogenic Load and Climate Change in Northern Asia
Research Theme

Climate; Changes in atmospheric, terrestrial and marine domains

Countries Involved

Japan, Russian Federation

Project Leader

Prof. Evgeny Gordov; Siberian Center for Environmental Research and Training/Institute of Monitoring of Climatic and Ecological Systems SB RAS, RUSSIAN FEDERATION; Email: gordov@scert.ru

Summary of Project

This project will organize a workshop focused on Northern Asia atmospheric composition study relating to climate change and anthropogenic load. It targets young scientists in the region and will coincide with an educational event, Computational and Information Technologies for Environmental Sciences (CITES) 2007 . A dedicated website will also be launched as an information system to support young scientists' education and training. The website will contain educational and basic thematic information on atmospheric composition and computational tools to solve particular air quality problems. It will form a powerful instrument for young scientists' training and a platform for dissemination of important environmental information to the general public and decision-makers. The expected outcomes of the project are generation and transfer of new findings and methodologies in area of atmospheric composition, air quality and climate change. It will also assist in the career development of young scientists in the region and their involvement with APN and the community of global change scientists represented at the CITES event.
