We all need to take climate action to prevent the next pandemic because Climate Change is even more destructive than Covid-19, although its effects are less visible, less concentrated, and less present in the industrialized Northern countries that have to date been hit hardest by the coronavirus. Climate change impacts are much harder to trace.

The World Conference on Climate Change and Sustainability invites scientists, researchers, candidates, and engineers from the academic, scientific, engineering and industrial sectors to participate and address the various themes and topics including climate change, earth science, biodiversity, global warming, food insecurity, renewable energy, agriculture, health consequences, and sustainability development. All the paper submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research depth, accuracy, and relevance with the theme of the meeting.

The GCC is an interdisciplinary conference run by graduate students, for graduate students. The organizers of GCC strive to feature a diverse representation of students and research topics to create a broader, more inclusive community for emerging leaders in climate-related fields. Historically, the GCC has been organized by graduate students associated with the University of Washington’s Program on Climate Change and the MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. This year, we are excited to expand our organizing committee to include students from Boston College, Simon Fraser University, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of Otago, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Oklahoma, Kansas State University, and University of California Berkeley.

We encourage students from all backgrounds and stages of their graduate careers to apply. GCC highlights climate research from a variety of disciplines from the physical, natural, and social sciences and humanities, including anthropology, atmospheric sciences, biology, communication, environmental sciences, economics, engineering, ethics, geography, geology, law, oceanography, public health, public policy, resource management, and more.

We highly encourage abstracts from students with traditionally underrepresented backgrounds.

The deadline for abstract submission and applications has been extended to August 20th. Limited funding to cover any costs incurred by attending the conference will be awarded on an as-needed basis to as many participants as possible.

The vast and complex terrain of Alaska can make it difficult to forecast and assess the severity of heavy precipitation events in remote communities, especially in areas where traditional observation sensors, such as radar and ASOS, are not available. This presentation will show deterministic and ensemble model guidance for 1 to 6 day projections along with satellite data that can help to anticipate the potential for heavy precipitation. We will also show satellite products and other real-time situational awareness tools that can be used to monitor and quantify areas of excessive precipitation during an event.

ARCUS invites registration for the next Arctic Research Seminar featuring Jens Terhaars of the University of Bern. Jens Terhaars’ presentation, titled “Stressors of Arctic Ocean Ecosystems: Improved Understanding of Primary Production and Ocean Acidification” will be held via Zoom.

Registration is required for this event.

Abstract

The Arctic Ocean is changing faster than any other ocean region in the world. Uptake of anthropogenic carbon, amplified warming, sea ice reduction, coastal erosion, and enhanced riverine runoff are driving important changes in the Arctic Ocean ecosystems through changes in primary production and ocean acidification. However, the current understanding of primary production and ocean acidification in the Arctic remains highly uncertain. Furthermore, projections of both processes by Earth-System Models diverge strongly in this region.

During this webinar, Dr. Terhaar will present: (1) a modelling study that quantifies the impact of terrigenous nutrients from rivers and coastal erosions on Arctic Ocean primary production, a process that was (wrongly?) neglected so far, and (2) results from two studies on emergent constraint on ocean acidification in the Arctic Ocean that suggests that projections of Earth-System Models collectively underestimated the extent of future ocean acidification in the Arctic Ocean.

Speaker Details

Dr. Jens Terhaar is a postdoctoral fellow in the division of Climate and Environmental Physics at the Physics Institute of the University of Bern (Switzerland), and is affiliated to the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research in Bern. Dr. Terhaar is currently studying the future of the ocean carbon and heat uptake with a special focus on the Southern Ocean and is developing an adaptive approach that allows to reach the temperature goals of the Paris agreement by determining the necessary greenhouse gas reductions at every stocktake solely based on past observations and not projections. Before he started his postdoctoral work in Bern, he had a short-term postdoc contract at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris (France) to develop an emergent constraint on Arctic ocean acidification. Dr. Terhaar completed his PhD at the Institute Pierre Simon Laplace (France) and the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium). During the PhD, Dr. Terhaar studied the impact of terrigenous carbon and nutrients on the Arctic Ocean. He completed a MSc. in Physics at the University of Heidelberg (Germany) and a MSc. in Water, Air, Pollution and Energy at local and regional scales at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris (France). During his studies, he had research internships in Woods Hole (USA), the National Oceanographic Centre Southampton (UK), and the Laboratoire d'Oceanographie et de Climatologie (France).

Due to the continued uncertainties created by the pandemic, we have made the decision, like many other events in 2021, to move the IBFRA 2021 Conference to an entirely online format.

This year's conference is all virtual, so you can share your research with an international community of scientists, policy makers, managers and other stakeholders of the boreal biome, directly from anywhere. You can apply for an oral or a poster presentation to one of this year's twelve sessions.

Abstracts are due before February 1st, 2021. Earlier submissions are encouraged.

Abstracts should contribute to the conference theme: "a changing boreal biome: assessing the vulnerability and resilience of boreal ecosystems to climate change and their socio-economic implications". A list of sessions have been developed by the Conference Committee members and external contributors. Sessions are covering topics such as the effect of climate and disturbances on ecosystem vulnerability to change, and the consequences of these changes on ecosystem services, from carbon sequestration, to wood production and management, to permafrost and hydrology and to people subsistence and economy. Depending on the abstracts we receive, adjustments may be made to the current list of sessions.

The 2021 Regional Conference on Permafrost will be a completely virtual meeting from October 24-29, 2021. We will use exciting virtual platforms and this type of venue will allow for international and underserved researchers and engineers to attend and present. A variety of events are planned from Young Researcher events to oral and poster presentations and unique networking opportunities.

Organizers of the 2021 Regional Conference on Permafrost (RCOP) request abstract submissions by August 9, 2021.

For the first time the U.S. Permafrost Association hosted Regional Conference on Permafrost will be combined with the bi-annual International Conference on Cold Regions Engineering. RCOPs are convened by the International Permafrost Association (IPA) as part of their motto to "foster permafrost research to the ends of earth". The Conference will bring together international participants through an all virtual platform.

Session proposals address science and/or engineering topics with a focus on permafrost and cold regions. Organizers encourage equity, diversity, and inclusion in all conference aspects and seek presentations from varied teams representing as broad a perspective as possible.

Please visit the abstract submission page to learn more about sessions and the submission process.

We have taken the decision to move the IGS British Branch Meeting, due to be held in-person at the University of Liverpool, to online only. Needless to say, this is not a decision we wanted to make. The UK COVID situation is continuing to deteriorate such that we felt that to hold the meeting in-person posed an unacceptable level of risk.

Registration is now FREE and will be over three half-days, 6th-8th September, with a mix of oral presentations, poster flash talks and sessions, and social events. To register for the online meeting please just fill out [this short form](https://forms.gle/4oqni72cCriUQiAa6 by Friday 6th August).

We invite abstracts for oral or poster presentations on any aspect of snow, ice, or frozen ground in the past, present or future. We plan for two days of conference activities.

Abstract submission deadline is also extended to Friday 6th August and can still be submitted as before here

We will update the website and contact those who have already registered with details on refunds and switching over to an online registration asap. Your patience is really appreciated here but we will get it sorted!
