Registration and Call for Abstracts for the Second Arctic in Rapid Transition (ART) Science Workshop 'Integrating spatial and temporal scales in the changing Arctic System: towards future research priorities' (ISTAS) under:
The second international ART science workshop (http://istas.sciencesconf.org/) about "Integrating spatial and temporal scales in the changing Arctic System: towards future research priorities" (ISTAS) aims at discussing the integration of spatial and temporal scales to better understand the changing Arctic system as a whole, by including various Arctic research fields such as physical oceanography, sea-ice, biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems functioning, marine biodiversity, land-ocean interactions, ocean-atmosphere exchanges and ocean acidification, paleo-reconstruction and biological archives, and social sciences. During the workshop, in parallel sessions and discussion groups future Arctic research priorities from an early career perspective will be elaborated. Results of this workshop will feed into the larger ICARP III (3rd International Conference on Arctic Research Planning) meeting in Toyama, Japan in April 2015 (http://icarp.arcticportal.org/).
This international workshop is open to any scientist who share a common interest in improving our understanding of ongoing and past changes in the Arctic and developing dialogues on interdisciplinary Arctic research approaches and future directions.
The workshop is jointly organized by the Arctic in Rapid Transition initiative (ART, http://www.iarc.uaf.edu/ART), an official IASC network (http://www.iasc.info), the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS, www.apecs.is), and the European Institute for Marine Studies (IUEM, France, http://www-iuem.univ-brest.fr).
The Arctic in Rapid Transition (ART) Initiative http://www.iarc.uaf.edu/en/ART is an integrative, international, interdisciplinary, Pan-arctic network to study the spatial and temporal changes of the Arctic Ocean. In order to better understand and forecast the impact of recent changes on the Arctic, ecosystems and biogeochemical features, variations in sea ice cover, ocean circulation and associated physical drivers are investigated over multiple timescales.
Limited funding will be available for early career scientists. More information on the preliminary agenda, venue, and preliminary list of invited speakers can be found on our webpage http://istas.sciencesconf.org/. For questions you may contact istasworkshop@gmail.com.
Abstract submission and registration are open under
Please register and submit your abstract by August 31.
