About the Strategy and Implementation Plan for GTN-P

The GTN-P Strategy and Implementation Plan (SIP) describes the governance and management structure of GTN-P, linkages to regional and global observing systems, the management process and reporting strategies. It presents measurement methods and protocols used for field data collection and the GTN-P data management system, which are designed to collect, process, analyse, and visualize permafrost data to feed into synthesize studies from local to global scales and Earth System Models targeting climate feedbacks on the terrestrial cryosphere. The GTN-P SIP concludes by outlining potential future developments of the network, which are needed to sustain and succeed its core missions of providing high-quality permafrost data, serving as a sustainable long-term data archive and remain a forum for the GTN-P community.
