Hi,

 

See below webinar that might be of interest

 

Cheers

Attend the "Planning Safe and Effective Field Campaigns" online panel

 

March 11, 2026 at 2.00pm to 3.30pm ET | 12.00pm to 1.30pm MT | 10.00am to 11:30am AKT

 

Planning a polar field season can feel exhilarating — and overwhelming. Join PSECCO and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Ice-Shelf Rumpling Project for a 1.5‑hour panel designed specifically for early‑career researchers preparing for fieldwork in the Arctic or Antarctic. 



This conversation brings together experienced field scientists to dig into what actually makes a field campaign run smoothly. Panelists will discuss essential pre‑field training, how to build clear communication structures within your team, and strategies for responding when plans inevitably shift in extreme environments or unforeseen challenges arise. 

 

Participants will walk away with practical tools for preparing before deployment, guidance for navigating challenges in the field, and resources you can use to strengthen your next field campaign — whether it's your first or your fifteenth.

Fwd: Polar Book Club - A Woman in the Polar Night" by Christiane Ritter


Dear polar enthusiasts and fellow book lovers,

 

our book club discussion 📖🧊- a collaboration of APECS Netherlands, UK Polar Network and APECS Luxembourg- is approaching fast. A bit more than one week to go! 

We are hoping that reading went or is still going well and that by Thursday next week everyone has managed to read and finish the book "A Woman in the Polar Night" by Christiane Ritter. We are looking forward to discussing our reading experiences together!

 

Herewith the details for the Zoom meeting:

Topic: APECS Polar Book Club

Time: Mar 26, 2026 15:00 GMT

Two ice sheet modelling postdoc positions at the British Antarctic Survey

Dear colleagues,

 

We are currently advertising two positions in ice sheet modelling at the British Antarctic Survey (closing 23/03/2026). Full details and application links can be found below.

 

Ice Modeller/Emulation Scientist:

https://fa-evzn-saasfaukgovprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/UKRI-Careers/job/2024

This 3-year position is focused on modelling and emulating Greenland glaciers as part of the ARIA-funded GIANT project.

 

Ice/Ocean Modeller:

https://fa-evzn-saasfaukgovprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/UKRI-Careers/job/2026

This 2-year position is focused on using a coupled ice-ocean model to assess potential tipping points in the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica as part of the ISOTIPIC project.

 

Informal enquiries about the posts are very welcome and should be addressed to Rosie Williams (chll1@bas.ac.uk),  Paul Holland (pahol@bas.ac.uk) and/or Robert Arthern (rart@bas.ac.uk).

Re: Arctic Fieldwork Opportunities

Hi both,

Hope you're well!

I don't quite know the details of whether this is going ahead, or whether it will be of any interest to you, but there is a course undertaken by Lancaster University Env Sci/similar undergrads involving glaciology. The field trip over the past few years has been Arolla, Switzerland, where students focus on more physical glaciology/hydrology, but also soil science. The hike to the glacier is quite demanding, but so rewarding!! I'm doing an MRes in glacial geochemistry so have visited a few times, it's an incredible place!!

The person to contact would probably be Phil Haygarth, who has run the trip over the past few years. His email is here: p.haygarth@lancaster.ac.uk


Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions/if I can help in any other way! I know it's so hard trying to get fieldwork these days!

Best of luck!

Subject: Arctic Fieldwork Opportunities
 

Dear all,

 

Hope you are well. 

 

Oscar and I are first year geology undergraduates at Durham University and are fascinated by the Arctic and polar environments. 

 

We are reaching out to enquire about potential field work opportunities in the Arctic this summer.  

  

We would love to contribute to research about an important scientific question in this area of study. We hope this could be by providing an extra pair of hands to conduct scientific sampling and analysis. We are very happy to hike and do physical demanding work.

 

We would be able to fund our travel and accommodation through the Durham University Expedition Society and/or Durham college funds. The deadline for us to apply for these funds is 9th March. 

  

With this in mind, we were wondering whether you have any ongoing or upcoming Arctic research projects that we might be able to contribute to, or could forward this email to anyone you know that is conducting fieldwork this summer?

  

Kind regards, 

Charlie Sawkins & Oscar Billing
