The Organizing Committee of the workshop of the International Ice Charting Working Group Data Assimilation Working Group together with the EU FP7 ICE-ARC Project invite you to a workshop that will take place at the Novotel hotel (http://www.novotel.com/gb/hotel-8505-novotel-toulouse- centre-wilson/index.shtml) in the heart of Toulouse, France on September 15th to 16th 2014. This workshop will continue a series of events in Oslo (2007), Copenhagen (2008), Norrköping (2010), Ottawa (2011) and Bremen (2013).

The focus of the workshop is on research and development related to numerical sea ice analysis and prediction. General topics considered appropriate for this workshop include:

• Sea ice observations and uncertainties
• Sea ice data assimilation (methods and results)
• Sea ice model parameterizations and coupling to ocean and atmosphere models
• Verification approaches for sea-ice analyses and forecasts

In keeping with the workshop theme, we will provide 30 minute time slots for presentations including 5 to 10 minutes for discussion and it is expected that most attendees will make a presentation. Participants should provide a short abstract in the registration form. The workshop is limited to 40 participants. We appreciate a registration to the workshop not later than 15 June 2014.

The Conference of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region is a biennial conference for parliamentarians representing the eight Arctic countries and the European Parliament. The first Parliamentary Conference concerning Arctic cooperation was held in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1993. The next conference will be held in the Whitehorse, Canada 9-11 September 2014.

The biennial conference is attended by representatives from the national parliaments of the Arctic states and the European Parliament. The Arctic indigenous peoples are permanent participants to the cooperation. Observers participate from governments and inter-parliamentary organizations as well as from observer states and relevant international organizations.

The Standing Committee of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region, which is responsible for the work between conferences, started its activities in September 1994. The Standing Committee meets 3-4 times a year in the different Arctic countries to discuss current Arctic issues and the follow-up of the Conference Statement from the latest conference.

One of the main priorities of the Standing Committee was originally to support the establishment of the Arctic Council. Since then the Standing Committee has worked actively to promote the work of the Council and participates in the meetings of the Arctic Council as an observer. Today the Committee is engaged in topics like: shipping possibilities, education and research, human development and climate change.

The course will provide a basic introduction to the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets with a focus on ice-climate interactions. The course is meant for Ph.D. students that work on (or will soon start working on) a glaciology-related climate project. The registration fee will be € 600. This includes lodging, full board, course material and excursion.

Lecturers include: T. Blunier, E. Bueler, D. Dahl-Jensen, A. Fowler, H. Gudmundsson, A. Jenkins, F. Navarro, F. Nick, A. Stroeven, C. Tijm-Reijmer, W. van Pelt, R. van de Wal, J. Oerlemans (convenor).
