SnowPI Polar Snow, Permafrost, and Inland Ice in a changing world

Coordinator: NORCE RESEARCH AS (NO)

The effects of present-day climate change are clearly visible in the frozen parts of our planet, where ongoing glacier melt, accelerating ice sheet retreat, permafrost thaw and declining snow extent are well documented. This is especially evident in the polar regions which are warming faster than the rest of the world which will have global and regional impacts. Here, climate adaptation remains challenging, partly due to uncertainties in climate projections arising from insufficient understanding and model representation of snow, glaciers, ice sheets, and permafrost, and their interactions wi…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €7.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4.5 years from 2026-03-01 to 2030-08-31.
