International Glaciological Society - British Branch Meeting

Hello UKPN members,

The UK Polar Network is pleased to announce a Career Mentoring Panel at the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge during the International Glaciological Society - British Branch Meeting (7-8th September). In addition to the scientific program, the panel will be a great opportunity for early career researchers to ask expert scientists questions about taking the next steps in their careers. This is open to all early career scientists registered at the meeting:

The IGS-British Branch Annual Meeting is an informal two-day meeting at which presentations are welcome on all aspects of ice and snow research. Postgraduate students in particular are welcome to attend and present their work. The meeting will consist of both oral and poster presentation sessions.

Registration closes on Wednesday 6th July (abstract deadline 22nd July).

Reminder: UKPN Network Day , June 7th 2011, Plymouth

I would like to remind people of the upcoming UKPN Network Day!

UKPN Network Day
June 7th 2011, 13 ­ 19hr,
Royal Plymouth Corinthian Yacht Club,
Plymouth, UK

Pleae RSVP to the emails below asap.

The UK Polar Network <http://www.polarnetwork.org/new/> is going to hold
another of its fun and successful Networking Days in Plymouth on June 7th at
the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club.

This Networking Day is taking place in connection with the big Scott
Centenary weekend commemorating the centenary of the British Antarctic
(Terra Nova) Expedition, 1910-13, led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott.

So join us for an exciting day with a slight ³historical² touch for
presentations and discussions around the scientific legacy of the
expedition, the wealth of archives available for polar scientists in the UK,
discover the work of UK Antarctic Heritage Trust, and last but not least,
meet lots of other interesting early career scientists working in all areas
of polar sciences.

We are very fortunate to have Douglas Russell from the Natural History
Museum as key note speaker, and Ellen Bazeley-White the Archives Manager
from the British Antarctic Survey, and Anna Malaos from the UK Antarctic
Heritage Trust to tell us about their work and the resources it opens up for
scientists.

Bring along a poster about your current research for the poster session, and
be prepared for some fun when we are playing Polar Bingo!
As we have been informed the Polar Science Conference on June 6th has now
been cancelled but for those who are already in Plymouth in the morning we
will arrange a trip to the National Marine Aquarium.

For more information and to register your interest in attending:
please contact a.jungblut_at_nhm.ac.uk or amelie.kirchgaessner_at_bas.ac.uk

Hope to see many of you there!

Thanks,
Anne D. Jungblut

Hi everyone,

 

The email below has just been posted to Cryolist.  But for those of you not on it – Glaciers Online looks like a really interesting and potentially useful web resource. See:

There are some great photos on there!

Dear colleagues,

 

We would like to draw your attention to the first instalment of glaciological photographs from Antarctica on our website "Glaciers online". Here you will find a few hundred images from the McMurdo Ice Shelf, focusing mainly on ice features, hydrological characteristics and glacial sedimentology, as well as 'human interest' activity. Please see:

 

http://www.swisseduc.ch/glaciers/antarctic/mcmurdo_ice_shelf/index-en.html

 

We hope you find these images interesting and useful.

 

Best wishes,

 

Juerg Alean and Mike Hambrey
