Hi everyone,

 

We’re trying to get an idea of training needs particularly relating to polar fieldwork, as we may have the opportunity to help steer the content of some training courses that may happen in 2023.

 

Please fill in the survey below <5 mins, to let us know what your training needs are, to hopefully ensure any future courses can fit what people need,

In-person, Room 126 - 1st floor, Kathleen Lonsdale Building, Department of Earth Sciences, University College London, WC1E 6BT.

The London Polar Group will introduce All Things Sea Ice at this event taking place just after the 2022 Arctic sea ice extent minimum.

About this event

We present a series of 4 short presentation and a panel on:

1. A new documentary on polar explorer Amundsen presented by the director Georges Tombs.

2. The launch of a project to assist with safe travel in Inuit Nunangat with the project lead and participation from our SmartIce Inuit social enterprise presented by Emma Liu.

3. The publication of a Nature paper showing how we can now measure sea ice thickness from space presented by Michel Tsamados.

4. This year's Arctic sea ice extent minimum and what it means presented by Julienne Stroeve.

Note that all participants will be provided with a link to view the award-winning geographical/environmental studies film "The Blinding Sea" about polar explorer Roald Amundsen.

"Ice-Ocean Boundary" Special Issue - LAST CHANCE

Dear Colleagues,

The final submission deadline is rapidly approaching for "The Ice-Ocean Boundary", a special issue in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (JMSE). Please consider joining us! Your contribution may focus on theoretical, modeling, field and/or laboratory research into a broad range of processes that affect the polar regions, including but not limited to:

- Theoretical or numerical representations of boundary layers associated with currents and/or waves at the ice-ocean interface
- Theory/modeling of shear and form drag on ice
- Field or lab measurements of ice-ocean boundary processes
- Lagrangian drift of sea ice forced by waves
- Temperature and salinity exchanges between ice and ocean
- The effects of algae, plankton, and other cold region biota on sea ice material properties and the boundary layer
- Wave interactions with shore-fast ice
- The role of sea ice as a mediating buffer between the atmosphere and ocean
- Alternative representations of surface ice and its boundary processes (e.g., viscous or viscoelastic layer, discrete element modeling, thin elastic plates)

Manuscripts will only be accepted through October 10. Each paper will be published online and made available shortly after it is accepted, with the full citation available at that time. More information and submission instructions are available at:
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jmse/special_issues/ocean_ice

Sincerely,

Dr. Mark D. Orzech
Dr. Jie Yu
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
Guest Editors

P.S. Feel free to contact me directly (<mark.orzech@nrlssc.navy.mil>) if you are interested in submitting a manuscript and/or have specific questions. Some 50% discounted publication vouchers may still be available.
