Today: Abstract deadlines for UK Polar Conferences

Dear UKPN,

One last reminder for those of you planning to attend either the IGS-British Branch Meeting (Durham, 2-3 September) and/or the UK Arctic Sciences Conference (Sheffield, 16-18 September)  that the deadline for abstract submission for both conferences is today. 

More information is available on their respective websites:

IGS-BBM: https://www.dur.ac.uk/igs-bb/

UK-ASC: http://www.arctic.ac.uk/research/uk-arctic-science-conference-2015/

In particular, the UK Arctic Sciences Conference is the main event of the year for UKPN with multiple sessions going on at the conference—we hope to see you there!

Cheers

TJ

2015 UK Arctic Science Conference - abstract deadline July 31st

Dear UKPN, 

A quick reminder that the deadline for abstracts for the biennial UK Arctic Sciences (NERC) conference (Sheffield, 16-18 September 2015) is this Friday, July 31st. As with previous years, the conference is meant to be informal in nature and will gather many of the UK's Arctic scientists at all stages of career. 

The UKPN are planning a few events at the conference (mentor panels, networking events, and our AGM!), so there will be lots of activities for early career scientists at all stages. If you'd like to be involved with organising any of the above activities, please send me an email.

More details of the conference can be found at http://www.arctic.ac.uk/event/uk-arctic-science-conference-2015/.

Hope to see some of you there!

TJ

Call for abstracts for QRAPG 2015

Dear UKPN postgraduates,

 

The annual, student-led Quaternary Research Association (QRA) postgraduate symposium is still receiving abstracts ahead of the abstract and registration deadline on the 1^st August 2015.  The meeting will be held 2-4^th September 2015 at the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge, in association with the British Antarctic Survey and the University of Cambridge.  Postgraduate students (MSc or PhD) are invited to submit abstracts covering any aspect of Quaternary research as either an oral or poster presentation.  This symposium serves as a great opportunity to meet fellow students working within your field as well as providing you with an introduction to presenting at conferences in a friendly, supportive environment.

 

We are also excited to announce keynote talks from Rob Mulvaney (British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge) and Babette Hoogakker (University of Oxford) who will be discussing their new developments in Quaternary Science research. We will also have a seminar from Lucy Gonzalez (Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge) about how you can improve your success in applying for funding and grants.

 

Full details of the symposium programme, keynote speakers, and the abstract submission and registration process can be found at http://qrapg.soc.srcf.net/.  Registration for the symposium is £20 for QRA members (non-QRA members: £35), which will cover the icebreaker event held at the Sedgwick Museum, entrance to the symposium for two days, an abstract booklet and the tour of the British Antarctic Survey laboratories.  A conference dinner will be held at the Riverside Restaurant at the University Centre on the 3^rd September 2015, at an extra cost of £20 per person.  Details of accommodation options are listed on the website.  For response to any queries, please e-mail qrapg2015@esc.cam.ac.uk.  We hope you will join us for what will be a fun action-packed conference.

 

 

On behalf of the organising committee,

Michelle

Call for Applications: WWRP/WCRP/Bolin Centre Polar Prediction School

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to call your attention to the WWRP/WCRP/Bolin Centre Polar Prediction School that will be held at the Abisko Field Station in Arctic Sweden from 5-15 April 2016 (next year) sponsored by WWRP, WCRP, and the Bolin Center.  The school is part of the WWRP Polar Prediction Project and the WCRP Polar Climate Predictability Initiative.

 

This course on Polar Prediction will provide training for 30 PhD and early career post-doctoral polar scientists, focusing on topics such as: polar mesoscale atmospheric processes; sea ice prediction, near term ensemble prediction, and seasonal-to-decadal climate variability and prediction in the polar regions. The program will combine lectures on key areas relevant for polar prediction and a number of field observation and modelling exercises to foster an interactive learning environment.

 

If you would like to apply for a place on the school, but did not fill out the Expression of Interest (EOI) after the 1st call in May, then please do so. Candidates for a full application will be selected from these EOI's. We are asking for people wishing to apply to this school to fill out the Expression of Interest form by 20th July. You can find the form here: http://www.climate- cryosphere.org/wcrp/pcpi/ meetings/abisko-pp-2016/ expression-of-interest

Limited travel support may be available, particularly for participants from developing countries.

The Arctic and climate change workshop in London

Focusing on "health" (widely defined) seemed to be a barrier for many, so I have reissued the workshop call http://www.ilankelman.org/cchw.pdf as simply "The Arctic and climate change". Hope to see some of you in London in October! Younger researchers and practitioners are welcome.
