Antarctic fast-ice nutrient data compilation - final call!

Dear All,

Final call for Antarctic land-fast sea ice nutrient concentration data for an international compilation database and paper. Please see the email forwarded below for more details and/or to jog your memory.

If you have data that you would like to contribute, please get in touch with me by the close of play (all time zones accepted) next Friday 27th September, to register your participation and let me know when you will supply the data.

Many thanks all, please feel free to distribute this email to any colleagues I may have missed.

Best wishes,
Sian

Dear All,

I hope this finds you well. Apologies for cross-posting.

I am compiling an Antarctic fast-ice nutrient database along with
Francois Fripiat, Klaus Meiners, Stefano Cozzi and Martin Vancoppenolle,
within the framework of the BEPSII research community (CliC, SCAR and
SOLAS; https://www.scar.org/ssg/life-sciences/bepsii).

The overarching objective is to produce a database of nutrient
concentration and relevant auxilliary data from land-fast sea ice in
Antarctica and write an overview paper with all data
contributors/holders as co-authors. This paper would be similar to and
follow on from Fripiat et al. 2017
(https://www.elementascience.org/articles/10.1525/elementa.217), which
focused on macronutrients in Antarctic pack ice. Once collected and
compiled, the data will be publicly available in one database, most
likely associated with the ASPeCt database held by the AAD. We
anticipate that these data will be used for model evaluation and we hope
that the database will continue to grow in future as more data become
available. If you would like to contribute data to this initiative,
please use the attached sheet, save your sheet according to the title
format given (date_project_station_type), and send it to me at
s.f.henley@ed.ac.uk.

In terms of timeframe, I am going to sea for the month of July and will
be travelling in August, so I will ask for data submissions to be sent
by the beginning of September. Data analysis, interpretation and paper
writing is planned for the autumn/fall semester with a view to
submission around the end of the year. If you would like to contribute
data, but this timeframe is problematic, please get in touch and we can
find a solution.

I am sending this email to key networks and contacts within major
observational Antarctic land-fast sea ice studies. I hope that you will
be keen to contribute to this project, and please distribute the email
to others who may be interested. Note that if you have already supplied
your data to Francois, Martin or Klaus for this initiative, there is no
need to resend as I have the existing database. If you are not sure
whether your data are already included, please feel free to email me and
ask.

Best wishes from Edinburgh,
Sian

Conference: Global climate challenges for a blue green economy

Dear All,

The Scottish Alliance for Geoscience, Environment and Society (SAGES) is delighted to announce a two-day conference on Global Climate Challenges for a Blue Green Economy. This conference will focus on scientific evidence from across the UK and international community, as well as its relevance to societal wellbeing and on potential system-wide solutions. Focus areas will be arranged under five themes:

Water – supported by Scottish Government Industry Division

Carbon – supported by ClimateXChange

Planetary Well-being – sponsored by SEFARI Gateway

The Fragile Cryosphere – supported by NERC Arctic Office

Whole Earth Systems – sponsored by Geoverbund ABC/J

We welcome scientists, civil servants, politicians, SME leaders and journalists to explore the space between evidence and solutions. We have an exciting list of plenary keynote speakers covering this space, and invite abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations under the five themes listed above.

Abstract submission, registration and the conference dinner are all free! There are also a limited number of Conference Support Grants available to assist with travel and accommodation costs. Full details can be found here: https://www.sages.ac.uk/latest-news/sages-2019-conference-support-grants/

When: 27-28 November 2019
Where: John McIntyre Conference Centre, Edinburgh
Deadline for abstract submission: 30 September
Deadline for registration: 31 October/capacity reached

Conference website: http://sages19.efconference.co.uk/

We look forward to seeing you at what promises to be a fascinating conference at the intersection of science, policy-making, societal engagement and potential solutions.

Best wishes,
Sian

I am looking for an ecosystem modeller to examine how plankton community structure and function is most likely to change in a warming Arctic. 

 

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and highly skilled individual to investigate the microbial foundations of the Arctic Ocean food-web. The recruited Post-Doctoral Research Fellow will work to identify and constrain the underlying mechanisms that cause the size structure of Arctic microbial communities to differ fundamentally from those of lower-latitude oceans. The work will form a key component of the wider project 'Understanding the links between pelagic microbial ecosystems and organic matter cycling in the changing Arctic' (micro-ARC: www.changing-arctic-ocean.ac.uk/project/micro-arc/) which itself forms part of the broader Changing Arctic Ocean programme (www.changing-arctic-ocean.ac.uk) co-funded by NERC and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

 

I am particularly keen to recruit someone with experience of parameter optimisation, although this is not essential.

 

For more information, and how to apply... https://jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?id=21746&forced=1

 

 

 

 

thanks!
