International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic (INTERACT)

Dear UKPN members,

I wanted to bring to everybody's attention the International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic (INTERACT).   This is a new multi-year EU FP7 funded project with the aim to improve collaborative research across the arctic region.

The network consists of 32 research sites from nine countries located in and around the arctic and sub-arctic. For those seeking to undertake research in the region, funding through the INTERACT Transnational Access scheme is available to visit 18 of the 32 sites (please visit www.ea-interact.org for more information).

Another important part of the project is to deliver a web-based outreach tool to communicate about scientific research and environmental issues in the Arctic. In order for us to better understand what people may want to see on, and how they may use such a website we are encouraging people to undertaking a very short survey which can be found at www.eu-interact.org/outreach2. We would be hugely appreciative if you could find a couple of minutes to give us your thoughts.

I will happily attempt to field any questions you may have about INTERACT, although you may get better information by visiting the website in the first instance, or by contacting project work package leaders directly (www.eu-interact.org/topmenu/contact).

All the best,

Chris Andrews

Subject: [APECS] Free Registration to first 200 students at the XXXII SCAR Open Science Conference

 

Hello APECS Members - 

 

Another great conference to put on your wish list... 

 

The first circular for the XXXII SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) Open Science Conference in Portland (Oregon), 13-25 July 2012.

The XXXII SCAR biennial meetings and Open Science Conference "Antarctic Science and Policy Advice in a Changing World" will emphasize the Committee’s dual role in facilitating scientific research and providing advice to policy makers.

 

NOTE: The first 200 students to have an abstract accepted will have ZERO registration fee!!!!  Abstract submission will open in October.

Outreach: to the Denmark Strait

Dear All,

One of our members, Ben Harden from UEA, is currently on a cruise off
southeast Greenland studying the dense ocean flow through the
Denmark Strait and where this water comes from. They have a really excellent
outreach site as part of this which includes journals, beautiful photos
and videos too. If you have a second and would like to check it out then
the site is:

www.whoi.edu/denmarkstrait

There is also a video at:

https://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=77116

and this journal:

https://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=76996

These resources are also available through the UKPN website
www.polarnetwork.org under 'Links'.

If you have any exciting fieldwork underway or in the pipeline and
would also like to be featured on the UKPN website, just drop us a
line at com@polarnetwork.org

Best wishes,

Sian Henley
