The goal of the Interdisciplinary Polar Studies (IPS-2023) Modular Meeting is to:

• Strengthen the holistic approach to studying and better understanding environmental changes and their implications due to the accelerated warming of the Arctic.
• Preparation of a new generation of scientists for creative involvement in the 5th International Polar Year 2032/2033 by broader participation in the Ocean Decade (2021-2030) and in the IASC ICARP IV (2025) process.
• An enhanced and coordinated monitoring of landscape and seascape evolution in Svalbard is needed for profound studies of mechanisms of interaction with glaciers and other components of the cryosphere.
• Identification of gaps, coordination of international efforts and unification of methods will be presented during the conference and discussed directly in the field.

The activity is aimed at: the Early Career Researchers and PhD students, experienced scientists; representatives of various business branches; representatives of authorities and non-governmental organizations.

The Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II (ArCS II) project invites applications for their International Early Career Researchers Program.

As a priority program of the ArCS II project, this call for applications invites a wide range of International Early Career Researchers from the Arctic and non-Arctic countries who are engaged in Arctic research and supports their research, by providing financial support for mid- to long-term travel and stay at universities and research institutions in Japan. At the same time, this project aims to revitalize mutual exchange between Arctic researchers in Japan and early career researchers overseas and strengthen the cooperative system for international joint research.

All research fields related to the Arctic region, including natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, engineering, and medical sciences, are eligible.

Initial application deadline: 31 August 2023, 12:00 p.m. Japan Standard Time (30 August 2023, 7:00 p.m. AKDT)

The VII Convection Permitting Climate Modelling Workshop aims to:

1. Communicate advances in CPCM and our understanding of fine scale processes; how these influence/are influenced by larger scale features and elucidate how climate change and its impacts are experienced at local scales.
2. Address, and propose solutions to, barriers to continued advancement – such as lack of key earth system or human components.
3. Through concrete examples discuss how we can tailor CPCM research in such a way so as to support adaptation efforts, vulnerability & impacts assessments and downstream climate services.

This will be a hybrid event, i.e., with on-site and remote participation. Oral sessions and panel discussions in plenary will be live streamed and recordings made available for remote delegates. There will be no parallel sessions.

Topics

1. Mountainous & high-latitude regions
2. Extremes & impacts
3. Model development
4. CPCM for society, adaptation planning and mitigating risk
5. Data access, accessibility and equitability in CPCM research
6. What have we learned from CPCM modelling and what is next

Join for an overview of the Bering Science publication, featuring speakers on salmon, crab, harmful algal blooms, and climate. The Bering Science publication is a collaboration between the Alaska Ocean Observing System and the International Arctic Research Center. The publication shares observations and research that is happening in and around the region. This year’s report focused on five topics identified by our Community Advisory Panel – crab, harmful algal blooms, seabirds, climate and salmon.

The GlaMBIE consortium is pleased to announce that the main workshop of the Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise GlaMBIE will take place in Edinburgh, UK. The workshop is open to the participants of the GlaMBIE exercise and to relevant stakeholders, the workshop will be dedicated to discussing preliminary results after the closing of the data submission, and to defining the next steps towards finalising the assessment.

Within GlaMBIE, the organizers aim for a reconciled assessment of regional and global glacier mass changes towards the next IPCC report.

The workshop is the 7th in a series that has brought together the community of users and developers of the Open Global Glacier Model (OGGM). This year’s workshop is organized by colleagues based at The University of Edinburgh. It is open to anybody interested in global glacier modeling with focus on active developers and users of OGGM. The primary goal is to discuss the challenges and solutions in modeling glaciers at large scales with OGGM, to learn from each other, and to develop ideas and visions for the advancement of the model. The workshop will include scientific presentations, hands-on coding sessions, discussion/brainstorming sessions, and generally be held in an informal manner.

The 4th International PalaeoARC Conference will be held in the Hof cultural center in Akureyri in northern Iceland from 27 to 30 August 2023, followed by a 3-day NORDQUA excursion in northern Iceland between 31 August and 1 September.

PalaeoArc is an international research network which aims to better understand the climatically induced environmental changes in the Arctic from the Quaternary to the present-day. NORDQUA is the Nordic Union for Quaternary Research. Both programs promote interdisciplinary cooperation and scientific communication and encourage networking between young scientists.

When ideas emerged in both programs, somewhat simultaneously, of having a PalaeoArc conference and a NORDQUA excursion in Iceland, combining the two events seemed obvious. And here we are – with the prospects of a fruitful, joint event ahead. We stress that members of both programs are most welcome to both parts of the joint event.

Important Dates:

• Abstract submission opens: 5 January 2023
• Registration opens: 1 April 2023
• Abstract deadline: 15 March 2023

The American Meteorological Society (AMS) invites abstracts for the Polar Meteorology and Oceanography Special Symposium. This symposium will take place 28 January to 1 February 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland.

The theme of this year’s symposium will be Living in a Changing Environment.

The symposium will be organized in four oral and one poster sessions. Papers are solicited on all aspects of polar meteorology and oceanography, broadly including, but not limited to, the following sessions topics:

• Climate variability, change, and predictability/prediction in the polar region;
• Atmospheric, ocean, land ice, and/or sea ice physical processes;
• High-latitude atmospheric and/or oceanic dynamics; and
• Polar to mid- and low-latitude connections

Important Dates

• Abstract submission deadline: 24 August 2023
• Early registration deadline: 4 December 2023

A warmer climate, increased human disturbance and transport, increased propagule pressure from growing non-native plant populations, and increased areas disturbed by wildfire have created a perfect storm of conditions for the spread of non-native plant species into Alaska’s boreal forest. Previous studies have primarily concentrated on short-term relationship (less than 5 years) between wildfires and non-native species, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of long-term implications. This presentation will highlight the current status of in non-native plant invasions in burned areas of Alaska’s boreal forest region and ongoing research efforts studying long-term trends. We will also provide an overview of what factors influence the vulnerability of boreal forests to non-native plant invasions along with how non-native plants are reaching affected habitat.

Organizers invite you submit abstracts for the British Branch Meeting of the International Glaciological Society in Cardiff on 4-5 September 2023. This will be a hybrid event and you are welcome to present remotely if you cannot attend in person, either live or as a pre-recorded video, though if you pre-record the organizers would like you or a colleague to be available live afterwards to take questions.

Enter your details and abstracts using this form.

Early career colleagues are particularly encouraged to apply.

Abstract submissions will close on 21 August 2023.

Registration will be available shortly through the IGS website along with detailed information including accommodation options.
