Circumarctic Environmental Observatories Network (CEON)

CEON's mission is to strengthen the capacity for emerging monitoring, research and policy needs at high northern latitudes by making data available that is adequate and suitable for answering and addressing a series of well-defined key scientific questions and uncertainties. CEON aims to provide and facilitate: Access to data and information; Access to facilities; Mobility of researchers; Adequate coverage of common and standardized observations; Adequate coverage of regional observatories; Up-scaling of site specific observations; Support for circum-arctic, regional and global thematic research programs; Parameterization and validation of models and remote sensing.; Exploitation of data archives, proxies and re-occupation of abandoned sites; Rapid responses to environmental emergencies; Development and testing of methodologies and sensors; Testing and development of ecological (and other disciplinary) theory; Education and communication.
