Please join us on Instagram and Twitter and follow the hashtag #COP26xPolarimpact to stay up to date. The first takeover starts today, Friday 29th Oct with Dr Victoria Buschman on Instagram. More information on the line-up is available on our social media channels, and on the graphics attached to this email.

What is Polar Impact?

Polar Impact is an inclusive network of racial and ethnic minorities and allies in the polar research community. Our mission is to support, connect, and highlight the stories of Black, Asian, Indigenous, people of colour, and minority ethnic professionals in the polar research community. Since 2019, we have helped change the face of polar research. We illustrate the diversity of polar scientists and celebrate inspiring work in icy regions, facilitate activities to improve diversity in polar research through delivering invited talks and workshops, community building activities, skills seminars, science-art projects, and other resources, and provide support and encouragement to our community.

Does the word 'Arctic' fascinate you? 

Are you a UK/Russian scientist wanting to carry out scientific research in collaboration with Russian/UK scientists but don't know where to start? 

Perhaps you would like to strengthen the existing scientific connections?

 

Join us for a webinar series on how to establish and sustain UK-Russia scientific collaborations.

 

The first talk of series, "Collaborations matter!", is on 28 October 13:00 MSK - 11:00 am BST.

Marine Research and Education conference this Friday (online)

Hi All, 

On behalf of the conference organising committee, I wanted to take this last-minute opportunity to invite you to join the international sessions of the Marine Research and Education Conference this Friday (online) - I am hoping that either of the two sessions could be of interest to you:
  • Special session on biodiversity conservation in the High seas and Southern Ocean (9 am - 12:30 pm UK time)
  • Special session on biological fouling – long-term observations of fouling communities (2 pm - 5 pm UK time)
My apologies for the very short notice. There will be session recordings available on the website after the conference. 
Please also feel free to forward this to any colleagues who might be interested. 

I also attach some infographics with more details about the sessions. 

Best wishes,
Anna

PhD opportunity: BIOCAL

Hi!
Can you please disseminate this PhD fellowship (in Barcelona) within your network?
This is a great opportunity for the students that want to get experience abroad.

Ciao Clara,

We are happy to inform you that the project on Global biodiversity of marine planktonic calcifiers (BIOCAL) has been funded by our national funding agency. This project includes a North Atlantic latitudinal oceanographic cruise and we are looking forward to organising this with you likely in 2023 (in 2022 there is still a backup of cruises from the COVID lockdown period) but we will keep you informed about this. We would like to organise a kick-off meeting probably in Spring next year.

Also, we need your help to find a good student that can apply for a PhD fellowship associated to this project. Unfortunately we don't have very much time to find the candidate since the call will be open shortly.  Our university is under a serious cyberattack and most of the emails and all online platforms are not working so we had some delays due to this problem. If you know any student that can potentially apply, please ask her/him to contact us urgently.

I attach here the call with the details of the scholarship. The student should have done a master or have sufficient credits to enter in the doctoral program.

Best wishes,

Patrizia





In brief:

BIOCAL focuses on the three main planktonic calcifier groups (coccolithophores, foraminifera and pteropods), with modern assessments of climate change impacts to water column
counts and biodiversity patterns across major globally relevant working areas as the N. Pacific, Southern Ocean, and Mediterranean Sea, as well as a new oceanographic expedition in the N. Atlantic, each characterized by strong gradients in biogeochemical properties across oceanic frontal systems. We will also calculate the carbonate contribution based on these assessments, to better constrain the marine carbon cycle. Further, we will calculate biodiversity change rates from the sedimentary records of the same groups over key past timeframes, involving the pre- versus post-Industrial era, and the last deglaciation, to better frame the biodiversity change rates of modern times against important context.

Hi,

This is very interesting, do you have any mail list for this?
I cannot be present on Thursday, but I am interested in collaboration with colleagues working in social sciences, culture and politics.

Dear all,

Polar Impact is organising a Polar Impact COP26 Takeover, where invited members will guest host on our social media for a day during COP26 to post about their work and answer queries from the public. We have a range of participants from across the globe taking part including the first African woman to sail to the Arctic, an Iñupiaq Inuit conservation biologist, a Teochew Chinese American who studies krill poo and a Salvadorian polar oceanographer. Essentially, it's a chance for the public to meet polar explorers from across the world during COP26. If you're aware of anyone from a BAME/BIPOC background who is connected to the polar regions and may be interested in taking part, please do let us know. Participants do not have to be scientists or academics; we're keen for those who are in engaged in the polar regions in ways outside of academia to also be included.  

What is Polar Impact?


Polar Impact is an inclusive network of racial and ethnic minorities and allies in the polar research community. Our mission is to support, connect, and highlight the stories of Black, Asian, Indigenous, people of colour, and minority ethnic professionals in the polar research community.

We illustrate the diversity of polar scientists and celebrate inspiring work in icy regions, facilitate activities to improve diversity in polar research through delivering invited talks and workshops, community building activities, skills seminars, science-art projects and other resources, and provide support and encouragement to our community.
