18-20 September,
2006 "International Symposium: Environmental change in Siberia *
Insights from Earth Observation and modelling" was organized by Sib - E S S - C
(SIBERIA-II Earth System Science Cluster Group) at The University of Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom.
Sib - E S S - C is a mega-project associated with NEESPI. Its overall objectives are: (a) Develop a
spatial data infrastructure to facilitate Earth system science studies in central Siberia (specifically the
Yenisey watershed); (b) Set up a web interface to provide access to data products created during the
SIBERIA-II project; (c) Continue remote sensing data acquisition and product generation to build up
time series; and (d) Provide online geo-visualization tools for integrated data analysis. An anticipated
outcome of the Symposium is a concept for the integration of knowledge about spatial patterns derived from Earth
Observation and process knowledge formalised in ecological / biophysical models in an Earth System Science Cluster
to advance our understanding of environmental change in Siberia. The Symposium aims to
explore how human and biophysical processes interact under conditions of rapid environmental change.
The participants will have the opportunity to discuss novel approaches to spatial and temporal data integration,
including human activities, climate, vegetation and the atmosphere with the aim to better understand, quantify
and predict environmental change in the region. Initial Meeting Announcement

in Ekaterinburg, Russia four partner institutes engaged in environmental
research (USFEU, IPAE, SIF, WSL) brought more than 100 participants to
present the latest results in the field of climate changes
and its possible effects on boreal and temperate forests, and
to discuss future research directions and joint projects for further
cooperation that allows to link research across the different regions
towards an early detection system for the impacts of climate change.
Excursions to research sites and nature reserves in
the Ural mountain range have been provided to the Conference participants,
giving them a first hand experience of these unique systems.
