Call for abstracts OPEN!

 

Submit your abstracts under the five-session themes and share your work at the APECS International Online Conference 2022, 'All Hands on Deck!'.

The APECS International Online Conference 2022 is giving room for alternative ways for expressing self through a call for stories and art contributions that, we believe, will considerably enrich the experience of the participants.

Submissions can thus take the form of three different formats:

·        Stand-alone presentation

·        Oral narrative

·        Artwork

Stand-alone presentations and stories should fit in the session topics while art contributions can be submitted freely as long as they are linked to the Alpine and/or Polar realms and can be presented in a digital format. The APECS International Online Conference gives priority to Early-Career Researchers (ECRs), including master students, for the stand-alone presentations but also welcomes those interested in Polar regions to submit a proposal in the categories "oral narrative" and "art".

Fw: UK SCOR Committee - call for members

Hello all,

See below an opportunity for ECRs with a PhD to become a member of the SCOR committee (Scientific Committee on Ocean Research). Deadline 25^th April!

Best wishes,

Subject: UK SCOR Committee - call for members

 

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Dear ECR network,  The UK SCOR Committee is looking for members, including early career representatives. Please find more information below and do circulate via your networks. The advert can also be found here: https://www.challenger-society.org.uk/scor_call_members. United Kingdom SCOR committee – call for members The Scientific Committee on Ocean Research (SCOR) was founded in 1957 to address interdisciplinary questions related to the ocean, with more than 2,300 individuals involved in SCOR activities to date. SCOR has had a specific focus on supporting 'working groups' of international scientists that are established in response to proposals from the scientific community. SCOR also sponsors international ocean science programmes, including GEOTRACES, IMBeR and SOLAS, as well as dedicating funds to support capacity building. For more details see: www.scor-int.org The UK pays annual dues to SCOR, which are split between the Challenger Society for Marine Science (51%) and the Royal Society (49%). To date, Challenger Society has formed the effective UK SCOR committee. The role of SCOR national committees is two-fold: First, they provide a national opinion and review on the proposed working groups and to then represent the nation at the annual meeting. Second, they encourage national ocean science engagement with SCOR activities. By number of individuals, UK scientists make the second largest contribution to SCOR science, but the Challenger Society would like to improve the ability of the UK SCOR committee to both represent and engage with the UK ocean science community. To do that, a stand-alone UK SCOR committee will be formed that reports to the Council of the Challenger Society. The UK SCOR committee will meet twice a year, once to review and rank working group proposals and once to discuss plans and priorities for UK ocean science engagement with SCOR. It is proposed that the committee would number 5 people, of which two must be early career scientists (https://www.challenger-society.org.uk/ecr_definition): a chair, co-chair and three ordinary members. Participating in this committee would provide the opportunity to play a key role in international ocean science. Members will be able to engage at a high level with the key strategic issues facing scientists nationally and internationally, and develop leadership opportunities. The Challenger Society is working towards being a fully equitable and inclusive organisation (for EDI statement see: https://www.challenger-society.org.uk/EDI_Statement). The Society strongly encourages marine scientists from historically underrepresented and/or diverse backgrounds to apply to join the UK SCOR committee. Currently, Alessandro Tagliabue (University of Liverpool) is the UK SCOR chair, with Kerry Howell (University of Plymouth) acting as vice-chair. Hence we seek applications for three positions to complete the committee. It is anticipated that the UK SCOR committee will appoint new chairs and vice-chairs from within the committee members to support emerging leaders. The UK SCOR chair is responsible for reporting to the council of the Challenger Society at their regular meetings and the Global Environment Research Committee of the Royal Society. They also undertake the annual application to the Royal Society for their financial contribution to the SCOR dues. Finally, the chair organises the review of working group proposals, represents the UK national committee at the SCOR annual meeting and will chair the two UK SCOR meetings. For more information on the role of the UK in SCOR, see: https://www.challenger-society.org.uk/SCOR. Application procedure Please email your statement of interest to a.tagliabue@liverpool.ac.uk by 1700GMT on the 25th of April 2022 Evaluation criteria It is essential that the candidate holds a PhD or equivalent experience in a relevant discipline and is enthusiastic about becoming engaged with the role of SCOR in UK marine science. Desirable characteristics would include experience of working on collaborative projects, multi-disciplinarity, science communication, or building networks. Experience with SCOR and its activities would be advantageous, but not essential. A formalised rotation policy will be developed by the committee to ensure an appropriate degree and rate of turnover, but initially it is anticipated that posts will last two years, renewable once.

The Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS and Global Ocean Acidification Network (GOA-ON) are seeking expressions of interest for the development of a Southern Ocean collaborative hub on ocean acidification. The hub will provide transdisciplinary expertise to coordinate research activities on ocean acidification, its drivers and biological responses from local to regional scales, and to communicate research outcomes. The effort with provide a mechanism to identify and prioritise emerging observational needs including identifying the combined role of ocean acidification with other stressors (e.g. warming, sea-ice extent, fishing pressure) in influencing the Southern Ocean biology.

 

More information is available here. 

 

Expressions of interest for involvement in the development of the collaborative hub can be submitted through this form, due 18^th March 2022.

 

For specific questions on this group and the positions, please contact Alyce Hancock (hancock@soos.aq).
