- Active land use changes and socio-economic transformations Northern Eurasia is believed to play a critical role in global change
- NE remains a major source of uncertainly in global estimates of
- Area of forest, peatland, and other land cover types
- Carbon pools and flux
- Water discharge, etc.
- Opportunities for research
- Data resources
- Local experience and expertise
- Infrastructure
- Challenging environment
- Access to data resources, research expertise and infrastructure
- Need for coordination among project and synthesis of results
