Project Abstract
The fellowship will analyse data availability and needs in relation to Ireland?s required input to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change adequacy reports. Moreover, a prototype data management and exchange information system will be put in place to improve access to relevant data. Analysis of data availability, trends and changes will be carried out on individual in-situ and remotely sensed data sets as well as linked analyses to determine dependencies and redundancies. Costed plans will be drawn up for the resources required to develop and maintain appropriate systems to meet climate change data requirements. These activities will lead towards the development of a national strategy for environmental observations.
