The multidisciplinary Conference comprising elements of Early Career Scientists School will be devoted to the state-of-the-art and usage of modern environmental observation techniques, computational and information technologies for assessment, modeling and mitigation of Northern Eurasia environment variations under natural and anthropogenic pressures including those caused by the Global Climate Change. It is aimed at filling the gap between basic science achievements and their practical applications in this domain. It also addresses a critically important issue –facilitation of professional skill growth of young scientists. To this end a number of invited lectures devoted to the state-of-the-art in the environmental research will be presented by leading specialists, which will allow young participants to get first-hand information on hot topics in Earth System Sciences and attract them professionally to this very important research area.

The major focus of the Conference is on environment state and dynamics under Climate Change of Northern Eurasia, particularly Siberia. Being a region where climate variations are most pronounced and whose potential influences on the Earth System operation as a whole are of importance, this region has attracted the attention of a number of researchers and funding organizations. To meet these challenges, Northern Eurasia Future Earth Initiative (NEFI) integrates projects that address large-scale and long-term manifestations of climate and environmental change in the region. There also emerge new initiatives such as Siberian Environmental Research Network SecNet (http://www.secnet.online/home-eng.html) and interdisciplinary research program Pan-Eurasian Experiment PEEX (http://www.atm.helsinki.fi/peex/). These programs leaders and representatives are invited to participate in the Conference to discuss received results and efforts coordination.

Being run as a set of consecutive thematic sessions devoted to different aspects of the theme, the Conference will facilitate interdisciplinary cooperation between young and prominent researchers thus giving a solid foundation of Earth System study on both regional and global levels. It will bring together the scientific community at large with representatives of national and international scientific organizations, industries and other groups relevant to the Conference. Aimed at one of the Earth System Sciences research priorities, it shall engage the participants in in-depth and forward looking discussions about optimal ways to address scientific research topics and potential areas of cooperation. It should define future scientific priorities to this end as well as identify research groups and projects for further integration.

The Conference is organized by the Institute of Monitoring of Climatic and Ecological Systems SB RAS, Institute of Numerical Mathematics RAS, Moscow Center for Basic and Applied Mathematics and Ugra State University.

Working languages at the Conference are English and Russian. During the Conference Sessions simultaneous translation will be provided.

One-day trip to Ob river is planned to access practical activity of regional environmental bodies.
