SHARE GeoNetwork – data and information on high altitude

15.12.2011

SHARE GeoNetwork, a catalogue including metadata, spatial data and geographic information on high altitude environments, is online. SHARE GeoNetwork has been developed by Ev-K2-CNR with the support of Italian and international research institutions, in the context of the programme Stations at High Altitude for Research on the Environment (SHARE). As stated by negotiators during the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Durban, more data on climate change related effects are needed, which could lead to a better understanding of the phenomena and to the creation of sound environmental policies. SHARE GeoNetwork is intended to contribute to this end, by compiling data and information coming from the network of stations at high altitude set up by the SHARE programme as well as from other sources.
