Objective
Located at the high latitude of 78o 55' N, 11o 56' E, the Ny-Ålesund International Research and Monitoring Facility is one of the world's northernmost human settlements, situated on Svalbard, Norway. This site represents an ideal permanent research platform in the European Arctic, with its mild climate, clean environment and easy accessibility by plane and boat. Together with the well-developed infrastructure with highly specialised research facilities established and used by a broad international research community, Ny-Ålesund strongly demonstrates its value as The European Centre for Arctic Environmental Research.
Six Research Platforms form the basis of this Research Infrastructure, together with the General Infrastructure providing accommodation and transportation as well as Logistical Services offered for field campaigns. The European Centre for Arctic Environmental Research offers access to all kinds of Arctic Environmental Research. The high latitude location and multidisciplinary research environment are ideal for research and monitoring of contemporary environmental change related to: -Climate change and ecosystem response, -UV-radiation and biological effects, Long-range transported pollutants and ecotoxicology as well as many other disciplines.
The European Centre for Arctic Environmental Research form the northernmost (Arctic) baseline node within several climate research programmes and international networks. It is unique in Europe in light of the multitude of different environmental research and monitoring programmes running simultaneously at the same site, providing excellent conditions for multi- and interdisciplinary co-operation projects and data-exchange. As a modern research station in a clean natural laboratory, the European Centre for Arctic Environmental Research will continue to play an important role in Europe, providing access to a large number of scientists from an increasing number of countries taking part in Arctic research.
