Polar changes, such as ice sheet melting, Arctic sea ice reduction, and permafrost degradation, are pivotal tipping points in the global climate system. These phenomena have far-reaching impacts on global climate and the environment. The Taiwan Polar Research Center integrates interdisciplinary expertise from the National Central University College of Earth Sciences, including remote sensing, atmospheric science, oceanography, geology, and geophysics, to conduct comprehensive polar research and provide forward-looking scientific data and insights contributing to global climate change solutions.
With a global outlook, the TaiPI is at the forefront of Earth science research, addressing the pressing challenges of global warming and environmental change. Our research team explores the complex dynamics of the Earth’s climate system, analyzing its effects on ecosystems, landscapes, and polar environments, offering essential data and insights to advance scientific understanding and climate action. Through international collaboration and independent observations, we have transformed from being "data recipients" to "scientific data providers" in the polar research domain, enhancing Taiwan’s active participation in global climate governance.
