Hosted every three years, the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) All Scientists' Meeting is a rare opportunity for researchers from all 28 LTER sites to explore wide ranging research questions. The focus is on research conducted in and with the LTER Network, but the meeting is open to all interested participants.

Rather than the more typical 15-minute talks, the All-Scientists’ Meeting is structured around 90-minute workshop blocks, which can take many different forms. Often, a block will kick off with a few short talks followed by in-depth discussion. Other times, the entire block is focused on a training-type activity or a scoping or planning discussion for future activities or proposals.

LTER ASM Workshops can be great ways to float ideas for collaborative projects, receive feedback, and find collaborators. They can also be effective in bringing group problem-solving approaches to common challenges. There are many ways to contribute to the meeting program this year.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is organising an Earth Observation (EO) training course in collaboration with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

The training is designed to promote and disseminate EO data and information-based solutions focussing on Arctic Methane and Permafrost. The programme will provide theoretical information followed by practical exercises and will feature the use of Satellite data from different missions together with airborne and ground based data together with process modelling.

The course is intended for researchers, students, PhD students and young professionals who use EO technology within their research or work and want to improve their knowledge of remote sensing.

Main Topics

• Introduction to the ESA NASA Arctic Methane & Permafrost challenge - AMPAC
• Arctic ecosystem science
• SAR & optical data focusing on permafrost regions
• Active & passive remote sensing of the atmosphere
• Synthesing Remote sensing, modelling and in situ observations
• Arctic Process Modelling
• Science Communication

Important Dates

• Registrations: 10 June – 15 July 2022
• Application deadline: 15 July 2022

Update: Following the outbreak of COVID19, this event was postponed to 19 to 30 September 2022. (The original dates were 20 to 31 July 2020.)

This two-week workshop at the Isaac Newton Institute (INI) will build on the successful scientific programme SIP’17 with a similar title that took place at the INI from 21/08/2017 to 20/12/2017. This programme stimulated new areas of enquiry and consolidation of existing work that is continuing. The aims of the present workshop are to support these advances, to give an extra impulse to new research on the mathematics of sea ice, and to review the progress achieved after the SIP’17 programme. The continuing changes in the Earth’s polar sea-ice covers under global warming make advances in the mathematics of sea ice timelier than ever.

Recognizing this urgency and the need for succession planning, the follow-on workshop will include a Summer School for early career researchers with lectures on ice models, ice physics and research challenges. An Industrial Day and a half-day colloquium with the British Antarctic Survey are also planned. Topics of the talks and discussions during the proposed workshop will include but are not limited to:

• Large-scale ice models for offshore engineering and shipping, environmental or climate modelling
• Multi-scale ice modelling through several scales
• Quantification of uncertainties in ice modelling
• Parsimonious models of continuous and broken ice

This event will also be livestreamed using Zoom.

ArcticNet is planning on hosting an in-person event for its Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) from 5-8 December 2022 at the Beanfield Centrein Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A joint ACUNS/ArcticNet Student Day will be held on Monday, 5 December along with a series of side meetings, and the topical sessions and networking events will take place Tuesday through Thursday, 6-8 December.

The ArcticNet Annual Scientific Meeting brings together researchers from the natural, health, and social sciences to meet the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing Arctic region, shaped by climate change and modernization. This conference will push the boundaries of our collective understanding of the Arctic and strengthen our ability to address the Arctic issues of today and tomorrow.

As a hub for Arctic research in Canada, the ArcticNet Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) brings together a broad range of research in and about the Arctic and northern regions of Canada and the world. The ASM advances our collective understanding of the Arctic and North, with an inclusive view of the Arctic spanning from Inuit Nunangat, across the Canadian territories, circumpolar Arctic regions, and more.
