BEPSII is an open network for international knowledge exchange related to Biogeochemcial Exchanges Processe at Sea Ice Interface. BEPSII aims to quantify the role of sea ice in polar ecosystem services – from biodiversity impacts to climate change – and communicate these globally-relevant issues. BEPSII’s work highlights sea ice in polar regions as an important medium for biogeochemical processes that can have large impacts on local and regional scales.
The BEPSII Annual Meeting will include various discussions and poster sessions. The meeting will also include an event for Early Career Researchers on the 21st August.
In additions to task group updates for BEPSII and ECVice, we are planning on having discussion sessions around the topics of:
- Developing a position analysis for the Antarctic
- Developing a joined CATCH -BEPSII SCOR working group
- Planning for a "new technologies" meeting in 2021
Details about the program can be expected soon on the BEPSII website.
