The workshop is an interdisciplinary meeting of early career researching all aspects of marine sciences in the polar regions. It will be hosted at the University of East Anglia in Norwich on the 29th – 31st July 2014.
Workshop Themes
The theme of the workshop is polar marine science, including physical, biological and chemical sciences of the oceans, as well as links with atmospheric and cryospheric processes.
The workshop is funded by the NERC iSTAR project, itself an interdisciplinary project research the impact of ocean heat transport on the melting of Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica.
Information
This workshop aims to bring together 40 – 45 early career polar researchers to present their science and gain knowledge of cutting edge research, funding opportunities and career pathways. There will be excellent opportunities to build networks with fellow early career scientists as well as senior scientists, who will share their perspectives in a series of panel debates and workshops.
There will be a registration fee of £50. Some funds will be available to cover this, as well as travel to Norwich and accommodation for the workshop, depending on demand.
