Annett Bartsch and others have just published an updated Circumarctic Landcover Units map. It now also includes Northern Scandinavia and Southern Greenland and many other areas have been reprocessed, representing an important addition to circumarctic remote sensing data. You can access and download all the data on the open source Zenodo platform here It includes an axillary dataset with dates
Last week, several CHARTER project researchers attended the European Polar Science week in Copenhagen organised by the European Commission and the European Space Agency. CHARTER findings and results were presented by Mariana García Criado in a well attended session that also had presentations by the sister projects that dealt with Arctic biodiversity FACE-IT and ECOTIP. Below is a gallery of
Remote sensing specialist and CHARTER project researcher Annett Bartsch of bgeos and others have looked at developing a long-term monitoring system for rain-on-snow (ROS) events across the Arctic using satellite data. They explored the utility of different microwave frequencies from passive and active satellite sensors to detect wet snow and snow structure change during and after ROS events. The authors
We are excited to let you know about an important new CHARTER publication which has just been released. Published in the journal The Cryosphere, the article is lead authored by Annett Bartsch, who is the leader of Work Package 1 is titled: Towards long-term records of rain-on-snow events across the Arctic from satellite data. The article has input from many
An article has recently been published with substantial CHARTER researcher input. Published in the journal ‘Environmental Research Letters it is titled Arctic rain on snow events: bridging observations to understand environmental and livelihood impacts, the lead author is Marc Serreze of the National Snow and Ice Center, Uni of Colorado. CHARTER researchers involved include Julienne Stroeve, Bruce C Forbes, Sirpa Rasmus, Roza Laptander, and Annett
The CHARTER kick off meeting is now 3 weeks behind us and since then we have been busy updating the website and several CHARTER folks have been participating in the European Polar Science Week, a virtual event which has been running all last week. You can watch replays of the entire virtual event here, and track it on social media
