SIBERIA-II (Sib2)
Multi-Sensor Concepts for Greenhouse Gas Accounting of Northern Eurasia
The overall objective of SIBERIA-II was to demonstrate the viability of full carbon accounting (including greenhouse gases: CO2, CO, CH4, N2O, NOx) on a regional basis using the environmental tools and systems available to us today and in the near future. The region under study is Northern Eurasia, covering an area of more than 200 million ha and representing a significant part of the Earth's boreal biome which plays a critical role in global climate.

SIBERIA
SAR Imaging for Boreal Ecology and Radar Interferometry Applications
The primary objective of the SIBERIA project is to support the development of sustainable management policies at the strategic and operative levels in order to manage the Russian forest resources in an efficient and ecological way. This development is based on up-to-date information on forest resources and related variables where existing inventory data is to be validated and confirmed.

GMES Russia
Global Monitoring for Environment and Security
GMES-RUSSIA established a network of key data providers and users between the European component of GMES and Russia and contributes thus to the implementation of this specific EC programme. GMES-RUSSIA produced a current assessment of EO and in-situ data capabilities, on-going research activities and modelling approaches in Russia with respect to the GMES tasks.

SibFORD
Earth Observation for Assessment of Forest Disturbances induced Carbon Emissions in Central Siberia
The SibFORD project aims at the development of methods and tools to estimate carbon emissions induced by forest disturbances using Earth observation (EO) techniques in combination with in-situ data and contemporary models, and to improve the understanding of human impacts on the carbon balance in boreal ecosystems through analysis of multi-annual integrated land surface-model / remote sensing datasets.
