CIRCLE-2 MOUNTain Kick-Off - Presentations now available2011-02-14
The CIRCLE-2 MOUNTain Kick-Off Meeting was held successfully in Chambery, France. The four funded projects, ARNICA; EURAS-CLIMPACT; ChangingRISKS and CAMELEON were presented to a broader mountain area research community related to climate change.
Additional the second day of the Meeting was extensively used to present the state-of-art in MOUNTain research and to generate research needs for the upcoming years. Especially financial resources are needed to ensure long term monitoring and follow-up knowledge and generated tools in various projects that has been developed and disappear when funding ends. Also the methods for downscaling need to be improved in mountainous areas and the need to understand decisions under uncertainty was raised.
