The PSSECO (Polar Science Early Career Community Office) is hosting an online panel discussion on careers outside of academia.This panel is for early career polar scientists to learn more about what is available in their field. This includes non-tenure track faculty jobs and other opportunities that exist for polar scientists beyond academia. What you learn from the panel will be transferrable to jobs outside of polar science too.

The National Science Foundation has released a solicitation for NSF EPSCoR “Track-2” collaborative research projects. Proposals must include Co-PIs from at least two of the 28 EPSCoR states and territories, and must be on the topic of “Advancing climate change research and resilience capacity to expand opportunities for disproportionately affected communities."

Proposals are for up to four years and up to a total of $1 million a year for awards shared between two EPSCoR jurisdictions, and up to $1.5 million a year for awards shared between three or more jurisdictions.

Letters of intent are due December 20, 2022 and full proposals due January 24, 2023 (by 5:00pm submitter's local time)

Join PolarTREC for a live PolarConnect event with educator Bill Henske and the Dry Valleys Ecosystem Study team. Bill will be joined by members of "Term Wormherder" to discuss the research and fieldwork involved in the project, and what it's like to live and work in Antarctica. As part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long-Term Ecological Research (MCM LTER) Program, Bill's presentation will focus on research being carried out in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. The Dry Valleys represent a region where life approaches its environmental limits. The overarching goal of this long-term research project is to document and understand how ecosystems respond to environmental changes.

The Alaska Marine Science Symposium 2023 will be an in-person event that will allow virtual access to pre-recorded presentations. This will bring us back to creating an environment that focuses on engagement and collaboration between our participants, while still allowing those who are unable to travel access to presentations.

The Alaska Marine Science Symposium (AMSS), Alaska’s premier marine research conference, has been bringing together scientists, educators, resource managers, students, and interested public for thirty years to discuss the latest marine research being conducted in Alaskan waters. Over 700 people attend this 4-day long conference held annually during the month of January.

Abstract submission deadline 21 October 2022.

The IEEE GRSS and the IGARSS 2023 Organizing Committee invite you to the 43rd annual IGARSS symposium to be held 16 - 21 July, 2023 in person at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California.

The International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS). It is aimed at providing a platform for sharing knowledge and experience on recent developments and advancements in geoscience and remote sensing technologies, particularly in the context of earth observation, disaster monitoring and risk assessment.

Key Dates

• Community Contributed Session Proposal Deadline: 18 October 2022
• Abstract Submission System On-Line: 18 November 2022

The Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) announces their upcoming webinar, SIOS Proposal to Access High-Resolution Planet Data: a Q&A Webinar.

SIOS is inviting scientific project proposals from the global Arctic science community to demonstrate the usability of high-resolution data in Svalbard. The call of proposals is to provide free access to high-resolution optical satellite data acquired by Planet’s satellite constellation to stimulate geospatial product generation in Svalbard.

To provide practical tips for potential applicants, SIOS is hosting a webinar to provide those interesting in submitting a proposal the opportunity to ask specific questions.

Rick Thoman will review recent and current climate conditions around Alaska, discuss forecast tools, and finish up with the Climate Prediction Center’s forecast for February 2022 and the early spring season. Join the gathering online to learn what’s happened and what may be in store with Alaska’s seasonal climate.

Please register to attend.

NSF will be holding an informational webinar to offer guidance on the GEO OSE program and to provide an opportunity for questions.

The Geosciences Open Science Ecosystem (GEO OSE) program seeks to support sustainable and networked open science activities to foster an ecosystem of inclusive access to data, physical collections, software, advanced computing, and other resources toward advancing research and education in the geosciences. The purpose of this support is to broadly enable geoscientists to leverage expanding information resources and computing capabilities to address interdisciplinary grand challenge research questions at the forefront of the geosciences.

Priority goals for GEO OSE are to: (i) improve the openness and scientific value of the existing network of cyberinfrastructure resources in the geosciences and related fields, such as data repositories, open-source software communities, and shared computing resources (e.g., high-performance and cloud computing), including via alignment on and adoption of common data and metadata standards that advance access and interoperability; (ii) democratize access to cyberinfrastructure capabilities that enable innovative geosciences research and education, including by advancing cloud-based approaches and workflows; (iii) strengthen the capacity of current and future geoscientists to access, utilize, and collaborate within the growing ecosystem of open science resources; and (iv) contribute to advancing open science principles within the geosciences, including (but not limited to) the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics), and the TRUST Principles for digital repositories (Transparency, Responsibility, User focus, Sustainability, and Technology), as well as Reproducibility and Replicability.

Full proposal deadline date is 16 March 2023.

Toolik Field Station welcomes all to join at Santa Barbara City College for two days of science and conversation. The All Scientists Meeting is intended to spark conversation, inspire new ideas, and garner feedback amongst the Toolik community. Participation from young researchers and educators is highly encouraged as are the contributions of seasoned Toolik veterans. A current project at the station is not required, only continued interest in research and education in the Toolik area and thoughts about how Toolik services can best support these important endeavors going forward.

The agenda consists of science talks and poster presentations on the first day and breakout discussion groups on the second. Past breakout topics include education & outreach, environmental sustainability, SEDC data products, future lab & equipment needs, NEON integration, and strategic planning.

The organizers will be following COVID safety precautions to limit transmission at the meeting. Santa Barbara City College requires visitors to either be vaccinated or show proof of negative COVID test within 72 hours and currently mandates masking in indoor spaces. In person attendance will be limited to 100 people. An option will be made available to attend virtually if desired.

PolarTREC educator Elaine Krebs will present live from the South Pole, Antarctica, speaking about the team researching IceCube and The Askaryan Radio Array and her time at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station.
