  1. Call for Session Abstracts
    European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2017
    23-28 April 2017
    Vienna, Austria

Organizers of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2017
session entitled, "Changes in the Arctic Ocean and Sea Ice System:
Observations, Models, and Perspectives" announce a call for session
abstracts. This session will convene during the EGU General Assembly
23-28 April 2017 in Vienna, Austria.

The EGU General Assembly 2017 will bring together geoscientists from all
over the world and covering all disciplines of earth, planetary, and
space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists,
especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss
their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

The session, "Changes in the Arctic Ocean and Sea Ice System:
Observations, Models, and Perspectives," will promote results from
current Arctic programs and encourage discussions of future plans for
Arctic Ocean modeling and measurement strategies.

Submissions for observation- and modeling-based studies related to past,
present, and future states of the Arctic, on the mutual interaction
between ocean, atmosphere and sea ice, and links to global processes are
invited.

Financial support is available to assist early career scientists in
attending the conference. Financial support includes a registration fee
waiver and a refund of the abstract processing charge related to the
abstract for which support is requested. Participants applying for
financial support must be the contact author, as well as the first and
presenting author of their contribution.

Travel support application deadline: Thursday, 1 December 2016.

Abstract submission deadline: 11 January 2017.

Early registration deadline: 16 March 2017.

Registration deadline: 28 April 2017.

  1. Meeting Announcement and Call for Workshop Abstracts
    4th Polar Prediction Workshop
    27-30 March 2017
    Bremerhaven, Germany

Organizers, including The Polar Climate Predictability Initiative
(WCRP-PCPI), the Polar Prediction Project (WWRP-PPP), the Sea Ice
Prediction Network (SIPN), and the Sea Ice Model Intercomparison Project
(SIMIP), announce the 4th Polar Prediction Workshop. This workshop will
convene 27-30 March 2017 in Bremerhaven, Germany.

The meeting, hosted by the International Coordination Office for Polar
Prediction, based at the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Center for
Polar and Marine Research, will build on a series of international
workshops held in Boulder, Colorado (2014), Reading, United Kingdom
(2015), and Palisades, New York (2016).

The focus of this workshop will be environmental prediction in the polar
regions on subseasonal to interannual timescales. Sea ice prediction
will also be a main focus, with a desired outcome being the compilation
of recommendations for the 2017 Sea Ice Outlook season. In planning for
the Year of Polar Prediction, officially launching in May 2017, this
workshop aims to stimulate discussion about other relevant predictands
of the polar weather and climate system.

A call for abstracts will be open 4-30 January 2017.

Abstract submission deadline: 30 January 2017.

procedures, go to:

  1. Call for Session Abstracts
    The Year of Polar Predictions Special Session
    International Congress on Arctic Social Science Conference
    8-12 June 2017
    Umea, Sweden

Organizers of the 9th International Congress on Arctic Social Science
(ICASS IX) special session entitled, "Exploring the User-Producer
Interface of Weather and Sea Ice Information in Support of Arctic Marine
Mobilities: Defining Social and Interdisiplinary Science Contributions
to the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP)" announce a call for session
abstracts. The session will convene during the ICASS IX conference 8-12
June 2017 in Umea, Sweden.

The Polar Prediction Project (PPP) is a World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) initiative to support coordinated international
research efforts to improve weather and environmental prediction
services for the polar regions. The Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) is
one of the flagship activities of the PPP. This special session is
organized by members of the Societal and Economic Research and
Applications (SERA) sub-committee of the PPP, in an effort to ensure
that considerations around translating scientific success into societal
value are incorporated within YOPP to inform and guide scientific and
technological improvements.

In this session organizers seek to better understand the complexities of
actors, information needs, information systems and infrastructures,
funding structures, data management approaches, and applications of
weather and sea ice prediction services in the polar regions. This
session aims to discuss priority themes emerging from recent Societal
and Economic Research and Applications (SERA) meetings.

Session organizers encourage contributions from a diversity of social
science and humanities disciplines, from a range of career stages, and
from indigenous peoples, northern residents, decision-makers,
politicians, and academics working on issues related to this
user-producer interface of weather and sea ice information.

Abstract submission deadline: 16 December 2016.

For directions on how to submit an abstract to this session, select
