Open Lectures during the SIOS Hyperspectral Training Course

Hello UK Polar Network!

 

Interested in Hyperspectral Remote Sensing or simply want to know more? Then join us for a set of open lectures during the Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) Training Course on Hyperspectral Remote Sensing. Our focus will be on applications to Svalbard, but the knowledge you will gain will be applicable to many fields of science. Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are particularly encouraged to join!

 

These lectures are open to everyone, simply register at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsdu6tqD8jE9QDyzGpMrRXTFWX-Eg96dCB

For details of the training course (including the timetable): https://sios-svalbard.org/HSRScourse

 

Any questions, please contact either myself or Shridhar Jawak (remotesensing@sios-svalbard.org).

 

All the best,

Will Harcourt and Shridhar Jawak (on behalf of the Hyperspectral Training Course Task Force)

2-yr PostDoc for Polar Atmospheric Modeller at British Antarctic Survey -

2-yr PostDoc for Polar Atmospheric Modeller at British Antarctic Survey -

The British Antarctic Survey is looking for a Polar Atmospheric Modeler to contribute to the multi-national and multi-institutional H2020 project "Climate relevant interactions and feedbacks: the key role of sea ice and snow in the polar and global climate system (CRiceS)". You will use state-of-the-art observations to study how the changing polar oceans and sea ice (including its snow cover) control the polar aerosol and cloud lifecycles. In particular, you will develop and test improved model representations of polar aerosols and clouds in a global climate model (UM-UKCA) to assess associated climate impacts.

 

Please find more detailed information on the position and how to apply on the BAS web site:
https://www.bas.ac.uk/jobs/vacancy/polar-atmospheric-modeler/

For any further inquiries email Markus Frey (maey@bas.ac.uk) or Xin Yang (xinyang55@bas.ac.uk).

 

Closing date is 5 Sep 2021.

Polar outreach days - education through expeditions - paid opportunity

Hi everyone,

 

Just passing information on from Antony Jinman from education through expeditions – ETE about some freelance outreach opportunities.

 

He's looking for people to help with school visits, running polar fun days (job description attached). He is                 planning to run a training session in a couple of weeks to go through the outreach activities etc. It'd be a case of being part of a team of people that deliver outreach days, you'd get paid ~£100 a day and expenses covered. So be good for people looking for ad-hoc outreach as I presume that you just say yes to which school visits you can do.

 

So if you are interested then do get in touch with Antony directly asap. He'd be happy to chat more with anyone about it, so don't be afraid to ask.

Cheers

 

Anna

COP-26 Cryosphere Pavilion Side Event Proposals

Hi All, 

Please find details below/attached for a call for side events at the COP-26 cryosphere pavilion later in the year.

CALL FOR SIDE EVENTS, COP-26 CRYOSPHERE PAVILION

 

The COP-26 Cryosphere Pavilion will take place in the accredited Blue Zone at the Scottish Event Centre (SEC) in Glasgow from October 31-November 12, 2021.  The International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI), together with a number of partners from governments, IGOs, academic institutions and civil society is coordinating the Cryosphere Pavilion events.

 

A large focus of COP-26 is on the need for greater ambition and emissions reductions by 2030.  While all cryosphere science side events are welcome, the Pavilion programme will reflect this science-policy emphasis, and strong preference will be given to side events or exhibit proposals with such an emphasis, especially on the global consequences from cryosphere with overshoot of the Paris goals or benefits of meeting those goals.  Virtual and hybrid proposals are also welcome.  For more information see the Pavilion Concept Note attached here, or contact Heïdi Sevestre  heidi@iccinet.org.

 

Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), Alfred Wegner Institute (AWI), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), The Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) and the AMAP working group of the Arctic Council have joined to co-coordinate the Polar Oceans Days at the Cryosphere pavilion, and we welcome applications for side events about the rapidly changing polar oceans, their ecosystems and implications for society. As described above we are particularly interested in events that emphasise the different consequences for overshoot scenarios compared to benefits of meeting the Paris agreement goals.

 

Side event proposals will be accepted and evaluated on an ongoing basis, but note that due to accreditation requirements, proposals should be submitted no later than August 31, 2021.  A waitlist will be created after that date. In addition to up to 9 side events a day, we hope to include exhibits; evening cultural events with ties to the Arctic and mountain regions, especially indigenous cultures; and early career scientist Pavilion volunteers.  

 

More detailed information and the application process, please visit the ICCI website:  http://iccinet.org/call-for-side-events-cop26-cryosphere-pavilion/ . Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions once you've had a chance to review these materials.

 

Best regards, and we hope to see many of you in Glasgow!

 

Helen Findlay

On behalf of all co-leads.
