BARIN Baltic-Arctic Regional Information Network Overview

BARIN, a network focused on environmental monitoring and climate change research in the Baltic-Arctic region, is currently not running but has a significant interest. Established connections with over 50 research institutes and universities. Key areas of interest include carbon flux monitoring, climate change effects on agriculture, Arctic sea ice properties, and more. Networking accomplished in Norway, Sweden, and the Baltics. Planned kickoff meeting in 2014 in Tromsø, Norway, and a conference on satellite imagery applications.

2. Networking accomplished Networked to build a group of people interested in being part of BARIN in Norway Sweden Baltics Received small travel grant to travel to Baltics in 2013 and network Fund received from the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme

3. Over 50 contacts, including: Lithuania Vilnius University of Applied Sciences Vilnius University, faculty of natural sciences Geography and Land Management Aleksander Stulginskis University Lithuanian Ministry of Environment Vilnius University Geography and Land Management Scandinavia (outside Norway) Lund University - Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science Icelandic Forest Research Institute Finnish Geodetic Institute Oregon State U Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society Norway Extensive connections in research institutes, universities, Space Center Estonia Estonian Ministry of Environment Estonian Ministry of Agriculture Estonian Agricultural Registers and Information Board University of Tartu Geography Tartu University Estonian University of Life Sciences, Institute of Forestry and Rural Engineering Latvia Latvian Ministry of Agriculture Latvian Geospatial Information Agency Riga Technical University Latvian State Land Service Latvian Ministry of Envr Prot and Reg Dev Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry

4. Networking results: key areas of interest monitoring of carbon flux from land use change (LULUCF); Climate change effects on agriculture production and phenology monitoring agricultural for obtaining agricultural subsidies; monitoring Arctic sea ice properties; monitoring change in land cover of forest, urban, and agricultural area; Data to feed into biogeochemical modeling and climate change assessment.

5. Planned kickoff meeting September 2014 in Troms , Norway Planned conference/meeting Conference: Theory and applications of high- resolution satellite imagery in the North Conference to include a networking program Combined with LCLUC Science Team meeting
