Help shape the future of the UK Polar Data Centre

Dear Colleagues,

Do you use data from the polar regions? Or would you like to in the future? Help shape the future of polar data services by completing our questionnaire.

The UK Polar Data Centre (UK PDC) is one of the EDS domain-specific centres. It is the focal point for Arctic and Antarctic environmental data management in the United Kingdom. Based at the British Antarctic Survey, the UKPDC coordinates the management and preservation of polar data from UK research, and supports researchers in complying with national and international data standards.

We are keen to ensure our data services evolve and improve to meet the needs of current and potential future users. To help achieve this, we have designed a brief questionnaire that asks for feedback on current services, and for ideas about new services that users would like to see. This should only take a few minutes to complete.

We are also setting up a User Forum to get more in-depth feedback on new services being developed. If you are interested in joining this forum, please include your email address at the end of the questionnaire.

Complete the questionnaire to help shape the future of the UKPDC.

The questionnaire closes 15 September 2026.

Please share with your colleagues!

Contact PDCServiceDesk@bas.ac.uk with any queries.

 

Best wishes,

Alice

Survey ECAMMS: Early Career Antarctic Marine Mammal and Seabird Researchers

DEAR EARLY CAREER SCIENTIST. Does your research involve Antarctic or subantarctic marine mammals and/or seabirds? If so, please continue reading!

We have created a survey with the goal of identify and quantifying Early Career Researchers (ECRs) who have conducted or are currently conducting research on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine mammals and seabirds, and to document the skills and expertise they have developed through their research. The survey aims to establish a stronger communication channel between the SCAR Expert Group on Birds and Marine Mammals (EG-BAMM) and ECRs who may be interested in contributing to large collaborative projects led or supported by EG-BAMM. Ultimately, it will also help create a platform connecting senior researchers with ECRs working on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine mammals and seabirds.

You can access the survey HERE

The results of this survey will be presented to EG-BAMM at the SCAR conference in Oslo at the EG-BAMM meeting (11:30-3:30 pm on Saturday, August 8 in Central Park B) and likely, published at a scientific journal.

Please do not complete this survey unless your research involves marine mammals or seabirds from Antarctic or sub-Antarctic regions.

The survey should take only a few minutes to complete. The deadline for responses is August 3.

Survey responses will be processed anonymously. However, if you would like to join the official ECAMMS email list, you may provide your name and email address at the end of the survey (section 5) and authorize their use solely for this purpose.

Please do not hesitate in contacting me if you have any question at:

renato.borraschavez@uri.edu

Thank you for your time and participation!!

Invitation to participate in research on Polar Thigh

Dear colleagues,

My name is Natalia Jaromin, and I am an MSc Extreme Medicine student at the University of Exeter (UK) conducting research on Polar Thigh in Arctic and Antarctic environments.

This study aims to improve understanding of Polar Thigh by exploring its risk factors, clinical presentation, and field management in polar environments. As there is currently little published research on this condition, the findings will help strengthen the evidence base, raise awareness, and inform future prevention and management strategies in expedition medicine.

I am inviting individuals with experience working or participating in Arctic or Antarctic expeditions to complete an anonymous online questionnaire. If you have experienced, witnessed, or managed a case of Polar Thigh, I would be grateful for your participation.

The questionnaire takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time before submitting your responses.

Help shape outreach and science communication training for polar ECRs

Dear UK Polar Network,

A group of Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) from UKPN and other national committees of APECS (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists) are running a global survey on outreach and science communication in polar science.

We are collecting responses to understand what kinds of outreach and communication training polar ECRs actually need, what barriers we face, and what support would make it easier to get involved. The results will be used to help shape future training resources, and will also feed into a workshop at the SCAR 2026 Open Science Conference.

This survey is for all polar ECRs, including people who do not currently take part in outreach and is available in English, French, and Spanish.

We would really appreciate your input, and please do share it with other polar ECRs in your networks.

For further details, please reach out at: outreachsurvey@polarnetwork.org

All the best,

APECS Polar Book Club 5th edition

📢 The 5th edition of the APECS Polar Book Club is here!

📖 This autumn, UKPN, APECS Sweden and APECS Netherlands invite you to read Bitter Passage by Colin Mills and join us for an engaging discussion about Arctic exploration, colonial encounters, survival and the stories we tell about the North.

Set during the search for Sir John Franklin's lost expedition, Bitter Passage follows Lieutenant Frederick Robinson as he joins a rescue voyage into the Canadian Arctic. Combining historical fiction with psychological suspense, the novel explores themes of imperial ambition, isolation, Indigenous knowledge and the challenges of navigating unfamiliar Arctic environments.

Whether you are interested in polar history, Arctic cultures, exploration narratives or simply enjoy a good book, we would love for you to join the conversation!

🕑 Date & Time: 18 November 2026, 16:15–18:15 CET

📍 Online via Zoom (Zoom link will be shared closer to the event)

The Polar Book Club is open to all APECS members and early-career researchers worldwide. We warmly welcome participants from all disciplines and countries.

📝 Registration: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/g0t4t51Ue4

❓ Questions? Feel free to get in touch with Lena Leimgruber Haraldsson, APECS Sweden (lena.leimgruber@umu.se)

We look forward to reading and discussing Bitter Passage with you! ❄️⚓📚

SCAR's Antarctica InSync webinar

See below for SCAR's webinar about the Antarctica InSync programme. Watch this space for an ECR-specific Antarctica InSync webinar coming soon! 

In the next episode of the SCAR CONNECT Online Training Series, SCAR will focus on Antarctica InSync and its efforts to develop a coordinated framework for Antarctica and Southern Ocean observations.

Antarctica InSync aims to better connect field activities, research infrastructures, and data streams across nations and disciplines. As part of the UN Ocean Decade, we support more synchronized observing efforts and stronger collaboration during the 2027–2030 period.

During this session, SCAR will explore the vision of the initiative, its scientific priorities, and how the wider community can get involved in shaping more integrated Antarctic and Southern Ocean observations.
