| Summary: | The Pan-Eurasian Experiment (PEEX) is a multidisciplinary, multiscale and
multicomponent research, research infrastructure and capacity-building
program. PEEX has originated from a bottom-up approach by the science
communities and is aiming at resolving the major uncertainties in Earth
system science and global sustainability issues concerning the Arctic and
boreal pan-Eurasian regions, as well as China. The vision of PEEX is to
solve interlinked, global grand challenges influencing human well-being and
societies in northern Eurasia and China. Such challenges include climate
change; air quality; biodiversity loss; urbanization; chemicalization; food
and freshwater availability; energy production; and use of natural resources
by mining, industry, energy production and transport sectors. Our approach
is integrative and supra-disciplinary, recognizing the important role of the
Arctic and boreal ecosystems in the Earth system. The PEEX vision includes
establishing and maintaining long-term, coherent and coordinated research
activities as well as continuous, comprehensive research and educational
infrastructure and related capacity-building across the PEEX domain. In
this paper we present the PEEX structure and summarize its motivation,
objectives and future outlook. |
