We believe that every member of the global community is responsible for addressing the challenges posed by climate change and creating a more sustainable environment for future generations. To find the solutions, the people at TaiPI explore and analyze multiple Earth systems, including the atmosphere, geosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. We adopt the idea of open science and actively share our observations and findings with our global partners. Through collaboration and communication, we convey key insights to stakeholders and policymakers worldwide, ensuring that valuable, time-sensitive data can be used at pace to support climate mitigation.
In addition to scientific advances, TaiPI focuses on science communication and education at the domestic level. We provide numerous opportunities for next-generation leaders to see and learn about the polar regions, whose environments and cultural perspectives differ significantly from those in Taiwan. As a leading educational facility in Taiwan, we aim to inspire young students and scientists to tackle the challenges associated with the polar regions and global warming. Our outreach initiatives include training programs for secondary school educators, fieldwork intern programs, and documentary filming.
The Taiwan Polar Institute is based in Taoyuan, Taiwan. We also operate the TaiArctic research station in Longyearbyen, Svalbard.
