'Environmental change and climate change in particular, are expected to be most pronounced in the polar regions. For this reason, a multi-disciplinary research infrastructure covering all important elements of the coupled Earth System in the Arctic is a very valuable tool to quantify the ongoing global change and to verify the capability of Earth System models to predict future changes. The proposed EFRI project 'Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System' (SIOS) is intended to take this role. The main goal of the SIOS Preparatory Phase (SIOS-PP) project is to define, work out and decide on the formal framework needed to establish and operate the geographically distributed and thematically composed multi-national research infrastructure with a node function in different aspects, that SIOS will manifest. This covers, on one side, aspects common for all ESFRI initiatives, such as legal status, governance structure, financial strategy, a data management and utilization plan, and an (on- and offshore) logistics plan. In addition, SIOS-PP will address topics that are special for this infrastructure: a dedicated remote sensing strategy, an internal scientific and observational, as well as an international integration and cooperation plan, which will link SIOS to regional European Arctic and pan-Arctic scientific infrastructure networks. The SIOS-PP project will be carried out by a consortium of 27 partners from 14 countries including 4 non-EU and non-associated countries; three of the partners are national funding agencies. In addition, 19 associated partners with infrastructure or strong scientific interests on Svalbard will cooperate during the preparatory phase. The project has a duration of 3 years.'
Many consider the Arctic region to be an early warning system for the effects of climate change. A large consortium of institutions is developing the framework for a coordinated Arctic observation infrastructure in Svalbard, Norway.
The 'Svalbard integrated Arctic Earth observing system' (SIOS) is an international infrastructure project that is part of the roadmap for the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). Its goal is to provide coordinated services for the international research community regarding access, data and knowledge management, logistics and training that will benefit the entire international polar research community.
EU funding of the project 'Svalbard integrated Arctic Earth observing system - Preparatory phase' (SIOS-PP) is supporting partners and associated partners from 51 institutions and 18 countries in laying the foundations for the larger SIOS project. SIOS-PP is establishing the SIOS legal and governance structure, financial strategy, services framework and integration/cooperation strategies.
The first project period was devoted to developing the knowledge basis for decisions to be made during the second part of the project. Various legal options for organisation of the SIOS project were investigated and a basic model was developed with Norwegian national ownership and operational responsibility. Partners are completing a review of research access strategies at other infrastructures and are currently evaluating the needs of potential SIOS users as outlined.
Investigations related to logistics planning are underway with reports almost completed on the current power and data communication status both onshore and offshore as well as on vessel capacity and capability. The consortium has developed a preliminary SIOS data policy relating to data management and utilisation. Contacts with satellite operators have been established with the aim of integrating the satellite remote sensing sector into the SIOS Earth Observation strategy.
With the decision having been made on which scientific infrastructures will be part of the SIOS legal entity, scientists have begun work on the development of internal scientific and observational integration strategies. Finally, the consortium has established the coordination of SIOS with other Arctic research networks and ESFRI projects through an ad hoc working group.
SIOS is expected to be the leading polar research platform in the Arctic, a region seen as a window on climate change. SIOS-PP is facilitating the establishment not only for specific infrastructure needs, but also new initiatives in the context of optimised organisation and access.
