Fwd: PhD studentship: trait-based modelling of polar zooplankton

Dear UKPN, 

Please see below for details of a PhD position open for application at the University of Strathclyde. The project focuses on developing a single trait-based model that captures the dynamics of diverse copepods and krill in Arctic and Antarctic environments. The project is a partnership with British Antarctic Survey and is associated with a new, major UK Arctic field program.

Please direct any questions directly to the supervisors via the link included. 

Review of applications will be begin on March 15th.

Thanks,

Laura Hobbs.

Hi everyone,

In order for us to know a bit more about our membership and find out what we should be doing for you we've put together a very quick survey which we'd really appreciate everyone filling out. 

It should take no more than 2 minutes and as a bonus incentive we will be giving away a piece of UKPN merchandise of your choice (hat/ buff/ t-shirt/mug) to one lucky respondent.

E&O Opportunity: Arctic Circle Making in Transit 2016

Dear UKPN,

About 3 months ago, you may remember an email circulating around the UKPN listserve regarding opportunities to take part in the Making in Transit Seminar Series at The Cube in Shoreditch, London. Here's some good news: we've been asked back again to conduct another series of talks and events for the 17th March 2017—must have been doing something right! 

For recap: This is a really cool project that investigates issues relating to the Arctic, the Anthropocene and creativity, within the context of 'making' or creating something in response to the environment. Check out the project here: http://www.makingintransit.com/

We are specifically looking for a couple early career researchers who want to present their research and conduct some outreach experiments on the 17th March for the series! Please let me know if you are interested in participating. If you are interested in presenting your latest research, this would be a great place to do it! 

All costs (transit, subsistence, etc) are covered under the project. 

If you haven't done much Education and Outreach before, UKPN has a wide range of resources to help you get started, and one of our committee can work with you to prepare your public presentation. 

Hope to hear back from a few of you!

TJ

Goldschmidt session 9e: The future of biogeochemical cycling in polar regions

Hello,

For those of you working with biogeochemistry in cold places, we would like to draw your attention to a session which we are organising at this year's Goldschmidt conference on "The future of biogeochemical cycling in the polar regions".  The keynote speakerwill be Jorien Vonk (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam). Abstract deadline is 1 April.

"The Polar regions are currently experiencing a period of warming, resulting in the retreat of glaciers, an increase in the active layer depth of permafrost and a changing hydrological cycle. Decreased permafrost cover is expected to increase overall fluxes of solutes as the active layer deepens. Likewise, solute fluxes from glaciers are predicted to increase by virtue of the increased discharge as a result of a longer melt season. As highlighted in the recent 2016 Arctic Freshwater Synthesis report, the interplay between hydrology, microbiology and geochemistry in controlling the flux of inorganic and organic solutes and the downstream impacts on freshwater ecosystems is uncertain. For example, will changing environmental conditions (e.g. hydrology) influence the cycling of metals (e.g., calcium and iron) and carbon (inorganic and organic) and in turn, the microbial communities which mediate many of the chemical reactions occurring in these environments? In this session we invite contributions from geochemistry, hydrochemistry, modelling and microbiology: essentially from all researchers seeking to understand biogeochemical cycling in these special environments with the aim of promoting dialogue between often separate disciplines."

The Goldschmidt conference will be held in Paris, France,  13-18 August.

We hope to see many of you in Paris!
