Scientific Workshop: Scientific partnership on the consequences of climate change in Arctic coastal ecosystems 

Date:  13th December 09:00 - 12:00 GMT / 13 декабря 12:00 - 15:00 MSK 

Location: Online - Zoom 

  

Dear Sir/Madam 

  

As part of our Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office funded project, Scientific partnership on the consequences of climate change in Arctic coastal ecosystems, we would like to extend an invitation to you, and to any members of your immediate research community, to attend a one-day scientific workshop exploring change associated with climate in the coastal Arctic. This workshop will focus primarily on marine systems and is a unique opportunity to contribute to, and participate in, the development of a research programme. 

 

The workshop will centre around the collation of existing, and newly acquired benthic datasets from the White Sea and other regions. Discussions will include, but are not limited to, how these data can support and provide new insights about climate associated change. 

 

The workshop will include both Russian and English live translation, allowing attendees to fully contribute in their preferred language. The workshop will take place online using the Zoom platform, and is scheduled for 3 hours on the 13th December 09:00 - 12:00 GMT / 12:00 - 15:00 MSK 

 

To attend, please confirm by visiting: link. 

We look forward to meeting you and your colleagues and hearing about your work.  

 

Best wishes,
