The aims of PeatDataHub are:
- Bring together data and create a community of people working on peatland sites around the world ensuring the long-term scientific resilience of peatland study sites and, through collaboration, effectively use global scientific resources.
- Efficiently capture the data from both short and long-term peatland studies, linking to existing databases where relevant, ensuring the findings from multiple studies are available to the research and user communities.
- Answer key research and management questions related to peatland processes and environmental change, and to build upon existing data to identify research gaps, new projects, and improved methods.
- Use the scientific credibility and scope of the network to engage with both governmental and non-governmental bodies to influence management practice and policy and to secure funding for peatland monitoring and research.
