CRiceS_H2020

The project ”Climate relevant interactions and feedbacks: the key role of sea ice and snow in the polar and global climate system”, or CRiceS, will contribute to more precise understanding of the ocean-ice-snow-atmosphere system to deliver improved models that describe polar and global climate. The team is coordinated by Risto Makkonen at FMI and Jennie Thomas at CNRS. The project involves an exceptionally broad team of researchers to tackle the role of polar processes within the climate system including climate physics, chemistry, biology. “We believe that our integrated approach, including experts on both modeling and observations helps us to understand, not only the polar processes, but also how the polar systems are linked to global climate and society” The new CRiceS project brings together 21 partners from 10 European countries and from Canada, South Africa, India and Russia to map the complex interactions between the polar regions and global climate system.
