Investigating Polar Climate Change Funded by the European Union. Website:
How do we collect data in some of the harshest environments on Earth? 🛰️ SnowPI will combine satellite data, monitoring records and new field campaigns across the Arctic and Antarctic. These data will help improve climate models and support more accurate projections of polar change. #HorizonEU
Research findings can take years to influence adaptation planning. SnowPI is taking a new approach by advancing scientific discovery and societal application in parallel. While researchers improve our understanding of snow, others will translate this knowledge into practical info. #HorizonEU
❄️ We know the polar regions are changing. But how will those changes play out locally? SnowPI will use storylines to explore plausible futures for the Arctic and Antarctic. Rather than predicting a single future, storylines examine realistic climate processes and their consequences. #HorizonEU
❄️ SnowPI behind the science: deep learning! Some snow processes are too complex to accurately represent in climate models. SnowPI is exploring whether deep learning can emulate these processes, helping improve climate projections while reducing computational costs. #HorizonEU
SnowPI has joined the EU Polar Cluster!🇪🇺 Together, we'll strengthen European polar research through collaboration, knowledge exchange & shared expertise. We look forward to advancing research, modelling and observations. 👉Learn more: polarcluster.eu #HorizonEU @europeanpolarboard.bsky.social

❄️ Kicking off SnowPI – Polar Snow, Permafrost and Inland Ice in a Changing World! We are excited to announce the launch of #SnowPI, a new #HorizonEurope project. Over the next 4 years, we will put snow at the centre of climate science to explore its role in polar environments and global impacts.
As the PolarRES project officially comes to an end today, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this four year adventure 💙 The website will stay online with open access to all project resources: polarres.eu The journey continues with the upcoming SnowPI project, so stay tuned!
PolarRES and PISCO (@esaclimate.bsky.social) brought Early Career Researchers to HungaroMet for a week of hands-on data exploration. 💻 Read the outcomes of our Hackathon here: polarres.eu/polarresnews... #H2020
🇪🇺 Strengthen your institution’s decisions with trusted insights on how polar climate change is shaping Europe’s future. PolarRES, has released a new set of factsheets that translate the latest polar research into clear, actionable insights! 👉 Download them now: polarres.eu/polarresnews... #H2020
🗣️To frame the upcoming panel and discussions, the four organising projects present their most recent scientific and policy findings. @polarres.bsky.social, @oceaniceeu.bsky.social, @crices-h2020.bsky.social and @h2020protect.bsky.social 🇪🇺❄️
Europe’s climate resilience begins at the poles❄️ What happens in the Arctic and Antarctic doesn’t stay there - it shapes Europe’s weather, oceans and security. Join leading scientists, policymakers & experts at our event tomorrow in Brussels/online. 👉 Register now: polarres.eu/polarreseven...
PolarRES was selected as one of only four projects coordinated by orgs in Norway to join the #HorizonEU Coordinators Forum at the Research Council of Norway!❄️ Cédric Hananel (@arctik.eu) shared our communication approach, showcasing lessons learned and practices that support meaningful engagement.
Day2️⃣ After a full day of introductions and an afternoon buzzing with teamwork, we’re kicking off the day with updates from each group on their progress so far. The four groups will keep up the momentum until Friday, when they’ll reveal their final results! #H2020 @esaclimate.bsky.social
🧊📊 Today marks the kickoff of our #Hackathon in Budapest! 11 talented young researchers are spending the week working directly with PolarRES, PolarCORDEX, and @esaclimate.bsky.social datasets — guided by instructors from PolarRES and PISCO. Stay tuned for updates #H2020
Our 18 Nov policy event is approaching! Explore how science can guide EU policy on climate adaptation, resilience & the ocean-climate nexus ahead of the International Polar Year. 🎤Policy panel + Q&A with EU stakeholders. 🔗Register to join in person or online: polarres.eu/polarreseven... #H2020
The Arctic and Antarctic are changing fast but what does this mean for Europe? 🇪🇺 Join leading experts & policymakers on 18 Nov in Brussels (9–11h) for a hybrid event linking polar science with EU policy on climate, resilience & security. 🔗 Register now: polarres.eu/polarreseven... #H2020
⚠️ Reminder: Registration for our PolarRES–PISCO (@esaclimate.bsky.social) Hackathon closes on Friday, 28 September! Get hands-on experience with PolarRES, PolarCORDEX, and ESA datasets under expert supervision. 👉 Apply here: polarres.eu/polarreseven... #H2020 #Horizon #Hackathon
💻Antarctic sea ice is changing, but models often miss key details. The new MetROMS-UHel model improves sea ice and atmospheric data, with better summer sea ice area predictions — though ice near coasts is thinner and more deformed. Read what this means for Antarctic research bit.ly/4lnN2Jc #H2020
❗Svalbard, one of the fastest warming regions, saw record summer heat in 2024. 🌡️Even after accounting for warming trend, August temps rose far beyond the norm. 📈 PolarRES finds unprecedented weather patterns and warm seas drove it, raising questions about future persistence. 🔗: bit.ly/4os6o2o
