Circum-Arctic Lithosphere Evolution (CALE) is a multinational and multi-disciplinary research program investigating the most important questions currently associated with understanding circum-Arctic lithosphere evolution. CALE identifies seven regions where these questions can best be addressed. CALE’s regional teams include senior and junior geophysicists and geologists, with on-shore and off-shore expertise. Combining geological and geophysical data across each swath within CALE allows the Network to integrate its knowledge of on-shore geology with the off-shore (shelf and basin) environment.
Each team is overseen by the team co-leaders, one geologist and one geophysicist. The teams work independently on a day-to-day basis and are self-funded through national funding to individual scientists. All teams and their scientific results will be integrated through annual meetings of both the regional group (self-funded) and the annual project meeting (network funding). At the annual project meeting, all forty CALE scientists will gather to present results, share data, and address larger-scale issues, with a view towards developing an integrated synthesis for the tectonic development of circum-Arctic lithosphere.
