Alaska Satellite Facility Director Nettie La Belle-Hamer will present “Alaska Satellite Facility: Dishing It Out for 30 Years" as part of the Science for Alaska Lecture Series.

The Alaska Satellite Facility celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2021. Since the facility took its first downlink in 1991 after coming to life by an innovative science proposal to NASA, ASF has been agile, nimble, and focused on getting remote sensing data accessible in all senses of the word. Learn about its growth and future direction from Nettie La Belle-Hamer, UAF vice chancellor for research and ASF director.

As the Arctic research community transitions to the 2022-2026 Arctic Research Plan, IARPC is reflecting on the achievements of the previous five years. In a three-part webinar series, researchers and community members engaged in Arctic research will present on highlights of their work in observations, human-applied science, and modeling. Please join us as they share accomplishments of their projects under the 2017-2021 Arctic Research Plan and demonstrate the diverse research associated with IARPC.

This third webinar in the three-part series will focus on accomplishments in modeling. Richard Cullather (NASA) and Wilbert Weijer (LANL) will provide an overview of the IARPC Collaborations Modeling Team's accomplishments over the past five years. Elizabeth Hunke (LANL) will present on the CICE Consortium. Sophie Nowicki (University of Buffalo) will share about ISMIP6.

In December 2021, U.S. federal Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) released the new Arctic Research Plan 2022-2026. The new plan is a bold strategy for a changing Arctic and will help deliver science and knowledge to decision-makers in the Arctic and beyond. This session will provide an opportunity to learn about the Arctic Research Plan 2022-2026 and how to participate in and contribute ideas towards its implementation.

The Arctic Research Plan has four main priority areas: Community Resilience and Health, Arctic Systems Interactions, Sustainable Economies and Livelihoods, and Risk Management and Hazard Mitigation. In April 2022, Federal drafting teams will be developing an implementation plan for the Arctic Research Plan and are seeking input and comment on implementation ideas.

Please register to attend.

During summer 2020, the Bering Strait region of Alaska experienced a marine debris event that brought garbage ashore that was different from the types and amount typically observed. A collaborative response to the event was undertaken by the regional public out of concern for food security, wildlife health, and human health. Residents, tribal leadership, and communities documented, reported, conducted clean-up activities, and investigated the source of debris on a voluntary basis using personal resources, little to no training, and limited response capacity. Without significant collaborative transboundary communication and/or enforcement of existing international marine pollution rules, the Bering Strait region should expect more marine garbage as industrial maritime ship traffic increases.

The Alaska Anthropological Association will be holding its 49th Annual Meeting as a free virtual conference via Zoom (#AkAA virtual 2022) for Association members or $20 for non-members. The theme of this year’s conference is The Effects of Climate Change. Similar to last year, the virtual conference will increase accessibility and inclusion for all conference participants while continuing to allow us to connect and share research. We welcome ideas for sessions and presentations in a variety of media, including but not limited to, papers, posters, storytelling, film, panel discussions, and multi-media performances.

Key Dates

• November 1: Call opens for conference participation (sessions, papers, forums, workshops, films, and virtual tours).
• December 1: Online registration opens.
• January 22: Deadline for individual presentation abstracts closes.
• February 28 – March 4: #AkAA virtual 2022.

The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) 56th Congress, the Canadian Geophysical Union (CGU) Annual Meeting, and the 78th Eastern Snow Conference (ESC) will be held jointly over a 6-day period, 1-3 June 2022 and continuing 6-8 June 2022. Due to the continuing impact and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the joint meetings will be held using a virtual (on-line) format. More detailed information will be posted as it becomes available on the Congress website.

The theme of our joint meeting is "Science Serving Society", recognizing that the science we all do provides an essential service to our society. This ranges from discovery that pushes the boundaries of our understanding, to the provision of climate, water, weather, oceanic and geophysical services (including policy and regulation development), and even extends to the development of the effective mechanisms for the delivery of services to stakeholders and the users of our work. We hope that this Congress will help maintain and sharpen the focus of our broad professional community on the science while also paying specific attention to the specific needs of our users. Proposals for scientific sessions are being invited for all areas of CMOS, CGU, and ESC interest, especially relating to the following areas:

• Advances in observational science including new and updated data sets, methodologies, campaigns and instruments
• Advances in our understanding of observed variability and change, including process knowledge and the ability to represent those processes in models
• Advances in predicting and projecting future variation and change on all times scales
• All aspects of extremes, past, present and future
• Applied science and the development and evaluation of user services
• Service delivery mechanisms

The abstract submission deadline is February 28, 2022.

The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Office of Polar Programs (OPP) in the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) seek proposals for a Facilitator to manage the Polar Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (Polar STEAM) initiative.

Polar STEAM is a new initiative that encompasses and enriches two longstanding efforts:

• Support for writing and artistic projects specifically designed to increase the public’s understanding and appreciation of the Antarctic and the human endeavors on the southernmost continent, known as the Antarctic Artists and Writers (AAW) program; and
• Support for educators, both formal and informal, to travel to the Antarctic and Arctic to work collaboratively with researchers, referred to as the Polar Educators program.

The Facilitator of Polar STEAM will be responsible for managing the AAW and Polar Educator program(s) as parallel but synergistic programs that promote connections and innovative partnerships between their participants. To accomplish this, the Facilitator will need to demonstrate the ability to work with the two programs’ diverse stakeholders and audiences.

Proposal deadline: 25 February 2022.

For more information about the program and how to apply, please follow the link above.

The Alpine Glaciology Meeting 2021 was held successfully as a virtual meeting, organised by a joint team from Milan and Munich. The organizers have decided to keep this team and organise the upcoming meeting together.

At the moment, the organizers plan the AGM 2022 to be a physical meeting in Munich. However, if pandemic conditions deteriorate, the organizers might have to switch to a fully virtual conference. They will also accept virtual contributions via an online platform. Given these uncertainties, the organizers would like to invite all interested people to join us for two days of scientific presentations and discussions 24 and 25 March 2022 in Munich and online.

The meeting will serve as a forum for presenting new scientific work related to mountain glaciers from the Alps and elsewhere in relation to environment and climate. Especially early career scientists are welcome to present their ideas and projects. Oral presentations should not exceed 15 minutes. For the posters we will organise an open discussion forum. Online contributions are also welcome, but the organizers prefer a physical presence, in order to allow in-depth discussions.

Abstract deadline is 25 February 2022.
