ASSW 2025 organizers are now accepting abstracts for the ICARP IV Summit, which will take place during 25–28 March 2025, immediately following the ASSW 2025 business and community meetings (20–24 March 2025).

60 sessions are available for abstract submissions. Additional conference sessions, which will host panels, town halls, and other engaging formats, have also been accepted into the program. Collectively, the sessions within the ICARP IV Summit will address the following areas:

Research topics that align with one or more of the seven existing ICARP IV Research Priority Team Areas.

Research topics that are critical for Arctic research planning to consider, but are broader than or not included within any of the seven existing ICARP IV Research Priority Team Areas. For example, topics here may include emerging Arctic threats, new areas in social science, Arctic economies, etc.

Matters that are important to Arctic research planning and implementation. For example, topics here may include science policy, research evaluation, research ethics, scenario planning, international funding and coordination mechanisms, etc.

Abstract submissions are invited through 30 September 2024. Notifications of acceptance will be made at the latest by November 2024.

Please visit the ASSW 2025 /ICARP IV Summit website ( https://assw.info/program/icarp-iv-summit ) for the full list of available sessions, submission guidelines, and instructions on how to submit your abstract.

Join us for this month's ACCAP webinar to learn about a set of resources Dr. Adelheid Herrmann developed to help researchers, academics, and federal and state agencies working in rural Alaska understand the current landscape and complexities of Tribal communities. Current funding opportunities for Arctic climate research and Indigenous priorities are needed but can simultaneously place a burden on Tribal communities in Alaska. The lack of capacity at the local level to receive and distribute these funds is challenging. Tribes, Tribal organizations and other rural and urban entities are left scrambling to access funding. Herrmann’s graphics help people visualize the overwhelming number of external and internal forces that Tribes and Tribal members deal with daily. The graphics and associated materials can be a resource for those working in rural Alaska.

USAPECS’s 8th Annual International Polar Film Festival (PFF) will take place from 23–27 September 2024.

This online event is a showcase of some of the best recent films about the polar and alpine regions produced by researchers, community members, Indigenous Peoples, organizations, and other institutions.

All films and our new Filmmaker Mini-Blog series will be freely available beginning Monday, 23 September 2024 at: https://www.usapecs.org/polar-film-festival-2024

We are also excited to announce an online Filmmaker’s Roundtable on Wednesday, 25 September 2024 from 9:00/10:00 Alaska/13:00-14:00 Eastern/17:00-18:00 GMT. Filmmakers will discuss their films followed by a public question and answer session. This event is held in conjunction with APECS’s International Polar Week.

The Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) aims to map the present states and ongoing changes of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, carbon cycle and associated hydrography. It does so by enhancing ongoing ocean monitoring with ship-based measurements. This webinar showcases how ocean dynamics influences different processes of the Arctic Ocean. The circulation of water masses redistributes nutrients that provide the sustenance for the lower trophic levels of food webs in the marine ecosystem. It will be moderated by Øyvind Paasche, the chair of the SAS scientific steering committee, who will also give a brief introduction to the SAS initiative. There will be three solicited talks with room for questions and discussions:

Peigen Lin - Associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
Recent state transition of the Beaufort Gyre
Recent state transition of the Arctic Ocean’s Beaufort Gyre | Nature Geoscience

Andreas Rogge - Post doc. at Alfred Wegner Institute, Germany
Dense shelf water propagation and subduction drives lateral injection of particulate organic carbon into the deep Nansen Basin
Carbon dioxide sink in the Arctic Ocean from cross-shelf transport of dense Barents Sea water | Nature Geoscience

Johan Wikner - Professor at Umeå University, Sweden
Contribution from prokaryotes to the Central Arctic Ocean carbon cycling
- preliminary data from the SAS Oden cruise in 2021

The webinar will take place in Zoom. If you would like to join the webinar, please register to receive the meeting link:

The Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) is a researcher-driven initiative that aims to enhance ongoing ocean monitoring with ship-based measurements, to establish the present states of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, carbon cycle and associated hydrography. SAS has coordinated a multi-ship survey using an international fleet of icebreakers and research vessels, where more than 25 cruises from 11 different nations collected a set of parameters across the Arctic Ocean in 2020-2022. This comprehensive dataset will allow for unprecedented assessments and provide a unique baseline to track future climate change and its impacts. For more information, please visit our website: https://synopticarcticsurvey.w.uib.no/

Save the date: The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) 2024 will be taking place during the week 23-27 September 2024 in Tromsø, Norway.

More information will be available on the website above.

We hope this early information will help you - interested scientist, practitioners, and other stakeholders to reserve the dates and prepare great contributions to the event.
