2015 Polar Marine Science Gordon Research Conference

Dear UKPN,
 
The 2015 Polar Marine Science Gordon Research Conference (GRC) entitled "Polar Shelves and Shelf Break Exchange in Times of Rapid Climate Warming" will be held in Lucca, Italy from March 15-20, 2015.

With the increasing impacts of reduced sea ice and warming seawater conditions in both the Arctic and Antarctic, this conference can act as a forum for potentially transformative discussions for interdisciplinary, international and compare/contrast evaluation of polar sciences. In addition, the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will precede the GRC to provide a forum for graduate students and post-docs to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas with experts in the different polar fields of science. Further information, including a registration form on the 2015 Polar GRC can be found at: www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=12641

The registration link is now open until February 15, 2015, including contact links for the organizers. 

If you haven't heard of the Gordon Research Conferences before, they are a great way to engage in meaningful and active discussion between scientists from all ages and institutions, and are "off-record" to promote free discussion! 

Cheers

TJ
