  • Beschreibung: Abstract. The role of polar regions is increasing in terms ofmegatrends such as globalization, new transport routes, demography, and the useof natural resources with consequent effects on regional and transportedpollutant concentrations. We set up the ERA-PLANET Strand 4 project “iCUPE– integrative and Comprehensive Understanding on Polar Environments” toprovide novel insights and observational data on global grand challengeswith an Arctic focus. We utilize an integrated approach combining in situobservations, satellite remote sensing Earth observations (EOs), andmulti-scale modeling to synthesize data from comprehensive long-termmeasurements, intensive campaigns, and satellites to deliver data products,metrics, and indicators to stakeholders concerning the environmentalstatus, availability, and extraction of natural resources in the polar areas.The iCUPE work consists of thematic state-of-the-art research and the provisionof novel data in atmospheric pollution, local sources and transboundarytransport, the characterization of arctic surfaces and their changes, an assessmentof the concentrations and impacts of heavy metals and persistent organicpollutants and their cycling, the quantification of emissions from naturalresource extraction, and the validation and optimization of satellite Earthobservation (EO) data streams. In this paper we introduce the iCUPE projectand summarize initial results arising out of the integration of comprehensive insitu observations, satellite remote sensing, and multi-scale modeling in theArctic context.
