Информация о проекте
The main objective of GHG-LAKE joint
research programme is to increase mobility and exchange of
researchers between EU countries, Russia and US to obtain better
understanding of energy and greenhouse gases (methane and carbon
dioxide) budgets in lake ecosystems at high-latitude, which are
potentially most prone to on-going and future climate changes.
Factors controlling the carbon cycles are investigated by means of
intensive field measurements and process based modelling. This
program focuses on four research aspects: 1) gas exchange processes;
2) carbon cycle, including greenhouse gases (GHG) flux database
development for lacustrine ecosystems; 3) energy and greenhouse gas
flux measurements, including research and knowledge transfer of key
methodological aspects for comprehensive measurement sites; 4)
process based biogeochemical modelling for GHGs production and
transport in water bodies, as well as state of art large eddy
simulation modelling for resolving non-homogeneous and
non-stationary atmospheric boundary layer flow over heterogeneous
surfaces (e.g. small lake surrounded by forest).
GHG-LAKE
programme builds a basis for long-term collaboration between the
leading EU, Russian and US research organizations in the area of
limnology, GHGs monitoring and modelling and climate change research
in order to achieve new scientific results and breakthroughs. The
proposed programme is interdisciplinary and the expected results
will touch in particular the environmental sciences, limnology,
biogeochemistry and micrometeorology research communities.
GHG-LAKE will exploit complementary expertise of the
participant organizations in order to create synergies among
participants and to establish long-lasting partnership. As multi-
and cross-disciplinary studies essential in climate change research
are lacking in Russia, this programme will essentially also work
towards an integrated approach for future joint international
projects. |
