Baltic Earth

Description

Baltic Earth would improve Earth system understanding of the Baltic Sea region. A more holistic view of the Earth system encompassing processes in the atmosphere, on land and in the sea as well as in the antroposphere is gaining in importance in Baltic Earth relative to BALTEX. It will continue basic research fields, structure (secretariat, conferences, publications) and the network (people and institutions) as in BALTEX.

A science plan is currently in preparation. The intention is to respond flexibly to a continuously on-going definition of core research questions which are identified to be key scientific issues, so-called Grand Challenges for research. Baltic Earth will communicate with stakeholders and research funding agencies to promote funding relevant for the Grand Challenges.
