Summer School for Climate-Environmental Research on the Siberian peatlands “Peatland Carbon Cycle: From Field to Publication”
The Summer School is organized by Yugra State University in partnership with the Sino-Russian Association for Fundamental Sciences.
On behalf of Yugra State University and the UNESCO Chair "Environmental Dynamic and Global Climate Changes", We would like to inform about the following initiative for consideration under the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (2024–2033): International Summer School for Climate-Environmental Research on the Siberian peatlands. Venue: Mukhrino Field Station & Yugra State University, Western Siberia, Russia Dates: August 31 – September 9, 2026 Duration: 10 days Participants: early-career researchers and PhD students The Summer School covers the full research cycle — from field experiment planning and sampling to laboratory analysis, data processing (R, GIS), and joint publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The central theme is the carbon cycle in peatlands, which store ~40% of global peat carbon, but the integrated field–lab–modelling approach is valuable for any natural scientist studying global environmental processes. The Summer School is organized within the framework of the UN Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (2024–2033). Contacts: Evgeny A.
