View this email in your browser

Call for abstracts: APECS International Online Conference

  • Event Format: Online conference (webinar)
  • Abstract Submission Deadline: 18 April 2016
  • Submit Abstracts HERE

Abstracts are now being accepted for the APECS International Online Conference, "Polar Sciences: Through New Eyes" which is scheduled to take place on 18 May 2016. Talks are maximum 12 minutes long, with 3 minutes for questions. This conference will encourage scientific dialogues between early career scientist from multiple disciplines and backgrounds, with presentations on new research perspectives from a range of research fields. With increased attention on the changing polar environment and the future challenges this will bring, this conference aims to convey the broad range of new research currently being conducted internationally.

Early career researchers are well placed to present new developments in their own fields through "new eyes," while the conference provides an opportunity for those in the audience to gain exposure to a range of new techniques, methods, questions and themes. All polar researchers are invited to share their current research findings, but we particularly encourage the submission of abstracts by early career scientists, so they can gain invaluable experience presenting their research projects to the public. There will be a $300 prize given for best presentation at this conference which has been donated by APECS.

Session Themes

  1. Biological – marine/freshwater/terrestrial

  2. Geological/Environmental/terrestrial cryospheric environments

  3. Atmospherics/Climatology

  4. Oceanography/Sea-ice

  5. Cultural/Historical/Policy/Education

To submit an abstract, fill in the form at this link

Abstract submission guidelines:

  • All abstracts will be written in English.
  • State which session you want your abstract to be submitted to (refer to sessions available above)

Please see attached an opportunity for early career researchers to be a part of the Intertnational Scientific Organizing Committee for POLAR 2018 (Davos, Switzerland). As the APECS Representative for ASSW 2017, I can say that this is an excellent opportunity to get to understand how international polar communities work and how things are decided at the top level, and of course, work with a very competent and efficient group of scientists, administrators, and politicians!

POGO-SCOR Visiting Fellowship 2016 Programme (Deadline 15 April 2016)

Dear UKPN,

The Partnership for Observation of the Global Oceans (POGO) is pleased to announce that the POGO-SCOR Visiting Fellowship programme for 2016 is now open for applications (see flyer). The deadline for applications is 15 April 2016. The scheme is designed to promote training and capacity building leading towards a global observation scheme for the oceans, and is aimed at scientists, technicians, graduate students (preferably PhD!) and post-doctoral fellows involved in oceanographic work at centres in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.

Priority is given to applicants in the early stages of their career development. The fellowship offers the opportunity to visit other oceanographic centres for a short period (1 to 3 months) for training on aspects of oceanographic observations, analyses, and interpretation. It provides financial support to cover the return airfare from the fellow's home country to the host institution, and a contribution towards accommodation and subsistence for the period of the visit.

For more information and details on how to apply please see: http://ocean-partners.org/pogo-scor-fellowship 

Cheers

TJ
