Katrine Gorham, NEON Field Operations Manager, Alaska will present "National Ecological Observatory Network in Alaska: Taiga and Tundra". As part of the continental scale National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), study sites are being developed in the Alaska Taiga and Tundra regions. NEON will gather long-term data on ecological responses of the biosphere to changes in land use and climate, and on feedbacks with the geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. Please join us for an overview of the NEON project and look ahead at development activities planned for Alaska.

Pre-registration for webinars is strongly encouraged. The audio portion of the call is through a toll-free phone line and the slide presentation is streamed via computer. For instructions on participating through your home office or at a satellite viewing location with others in your community, please see the webinar information page: https://accap.uaf.edu/?q=webinars.

The AGU Fall Meeting is the largest worldwide conference in the geophysical sciences, attracting more than 22,000 Earth and space scientists, educators, students, and other leaders. For 46 years, energized and passionate Earth and space scientists from around the world gather at the AGU Fall Meeting to connect with colleagues, broaden their knowledge base, and embrace the joy of science. The 2014 meeting takes place Monday 15 – Friday 19 December 2014.

Each year, the Fall Meeting takes place in the Moscone Center, at the intersection of Fourth and Howard Streets, San Francisco, CA 94103. The Moscone Center is accessible by BART and MUNI public transit lines, and also in walking distance of many hotels.

The abstract submission tool will open in mid-June.

The Arctic is undergoing a major transformation. Climate change and modernization are bringing important issues, including the health of Northerners, melting sea-ice, intercontinental shipping, sovereignty, resource exploitation, and the environment, to the forefront of national and international agendas. Circumpolar nations face an increased urgency to expand the observational capacity needed to formulate strategies and policies that will minimize the negative impacts and maximize the positive outcomes of this transformation.

Building on the success of its annual scientific meeting, the ArcticNet Network of Centres of Excellence and its national and international partners are excited to welcome the Arctic research community to Ottawa for the international Arctic Change 2014 conference to be held at the Ottawa Convention Centre from 8-12 December 2014.

Coinciding with the pinnacle of Canada’s Chairmanship of the Arctic Council, Arctic Change 2014 welcomes the participation of international researchers, students, policy and decision makers, representatives of government and non-government organizations, the private sector, northern stakeholders and media to address the global challenges and opportunities arising from climate change and modernization in the circum-Arctic. With over 1000 participants expected to attend, Arctic Change 2014 will be one of the largest trans-sectoral international Arctic research conferences ever held in Canada.

Arctic Change 2014 is a 5-day conference beginning with Student Day on Monday, 8 December and ending on Friday, 12 December. The full program (agenda, abstracts, list of participants, sponsors and exhibitors) will be available for download on this website in November 2014. A summarized version of the program (agenda, sponsors and exhibitors and floor plan) will be included in the registration packages. Below is an overview of program highlights and the preliminary agenda as well as information on side meetings.

• Arctic Change 2014 will begin on the afternoon of Monday, 8 December with the International Student Day, organized jointly by the ArcticNet Student Association (ASA) and the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS). Student Day will continue all day on Tuesday 9 December. All registered conference participants are welcome to attend Student Day.
• The official Arctic Change 2014 welcome reception will be held on the evening of Tuesday 9 December.
• Two dedicated poster sessions/receptions will be held on the evenings of Tuesday 9 December and Wednesday 10 December.
• Arctic Change 2014 topical and plenary sessions will be presented from 8:30 to 17:00 from Wednesday 10 December to Thursday 11 December and from 9:00 to 15:00 on Friday 12 December.
• The Arctic Inspiration Prize ceremony will be held from 19:00 to 20:30 on Wednesday 10 December.
• The Arctic Change 2014 banquet dinner will be held on Thursday 11 December starting at 19:30.
• Lunches will be provided to conference participants from Tuesday to Friday. Breakfasts and dinners are on your own, except for the Arctic Change 2014 banquet dinner.

Publishing in high impact journals is often one of the ultimate goals for scientists. Even if the current impact factor measures are not of everybody’s liking, it is no doubt that in the current academic settings it is easier to obtain the next grant, the next promotion or even the next job if your count with high impact publications in your CV. But what actually makes the difference between a «normal» scientific publication and a high impact one? In her lecture, Maria Luisa Avila will speak about her experience as science editor for a high impact journal, what makes a high impact publication (and what doesn’t!), why aiming for high impact could be beneficial (an detrimental!) to science and how you can tailor your research and article writing to improve your chances of publishing in high impact journals.

This workshop aims to bring concerned and/or interested individuals together to hear the latest research, policy implications, community perspectives, and potential impacts along Alaska’s coast and oceans. We know that Alaska is experiencing a rapid and severe onset of OA relative to many other coastal regions. Studies also show that Alaskan coastal communities have varying degrees of vulnerability to OA, ranging from moderate to severe, with the most vulnerable located in regions where fisheries are primary economic drivers of local economies. Partners across the state have taken great strides to implement the current monitoring system in place, but state funding is set to expire in 2015. Now is the pivotal time to engage with a growing number of Alaskans interested in how we can make informed decisions about OA. We hope that you will be able to join us.

On 3 December, AOOS will host a conversation with stakeholders at their downtown office. One topic for discussion will be defining stakeholder needs for OA monitoring and research across the state. This session is by invitation only, but we realize that we may not have everyone on the invite list that should be there!

This workshop is jointly sponsored and organized by the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS), ACCAP, Alaska Sea Grant, the Alaska Marine Conservation Council, and UAF's Ocean Acidification Research Center.
