Polar scientist needed - Antarctic iceberg specialist

Dear UKPN members, 

We have received a request for an Antarctic iceberg specialist to speak with Georgina, a science reporter for the BBC, in the new year. If interested please read the message below reach out to Georgina! 

***************************

Good afternoon,

 

I'm a climate and science reporter with BBC News. I'm doing a story in January about the A23a iceberg, and I'm keen to speak to an expert about the iceberg's movements and the bigger picture of increased carving in Antarctica.

I'd like to talk to an early career expert if possible, which is why I'm emailing you. Is there anyone you can recommend who is happy to talk to media?

I appreciate it's almost the Christmas break – I'd be keen to talk early in the new year, not immediately today!

Please get in touch with me at georgina.rannard@bbc.co.uk

 

Best wishes,

Georgina

International Polar Year and membership horizon scan

Dear UKPN members, 

 

We are conducting a horizon scan to understand the anticipated needs of the UK Polar Early Career Researchers (ECR's) as we look forward to the International Polar Year (IPY) in 2032/33 as UKPN has been asked to provide input about ECR needs to various committees. We want to make sure that the input we are providing is based on feedback from the community so we want to hear from our members about what they think their needs will be over the lead up to the IPY in order that they can take advantage of all the IPY has to offer. 

 

We have received feedback from various sources that standard membership of UKPN is less beneficial than it has been in past when UKPN was a smaller organisation. We as a committee have been reflecting on how we might change this so we have included some questions about how we might make membership more useful for ECR's and what current members would find most useful for us to provide. We would really appreciate input from members on this so that as UKPN continues to grow membership continues to be beneficial for all.

NERC-funded PhD studentship at British Antarctic Survey

Project Title: Drivers and Impacts of Extreme High Temperature Events Over Coastal Antarctica

"Climatic conditions in Antarctica range from the relatively mild maritime northern section of the Antarctic Peninsula to the frigid high plateau of East Antarctica. Antarctica contains 90% of the Earth's ice and has the potential to make a significant contribution to global mean sea-level rise. Although most ice sheet melting so far has occurred when warm ocean waters flow under the peripheral ice shelves, high air temperatures have led to significant ice melting in some regions of coastal Antarctica, e.g. the Antarctic Peninsula. With climate models suggesting that regional air temperatures will increase over the coming decades, a key priority in polar research is to understand the conditions that lead to the extreme high temperature events and their subsequent impacts on surface melting. A better understanding of the process would help us to derive more accurate projections of their future occurrence and better understand their impacts on ice sheet mass balance.

High temperature events can have a major impact of the Antarctic environment and ecosystems. The synoptic situation at the time often consists of a warm ridge extending towards Antarctica in association with strong meridional flow. Large magnitude, more persistent events have been linked to atmospheric rivers, which are narrow bands of warm, moist air originating in lower latitudes. It remains puzzling that some of the high temperature events have been preceded by downslope flow from the interior of Antarctica, where the air is normally much colder than the coast. Many of these events involve complex interactions between the air, ocean and ice and the dynamical aspects of extreme high temperature events remain poorly understood. The aims of this project are to investigate high temperature events over coastal Antarctica using a combination of station observations, observationally constrained reconstructions assimilated data sets as well as regional climate simulations. It will also examine how these extreme events impact on surface melting of the ice sheet and the development of supraglacial lakes, with potential implications for ice shelf stability via hydrofracturing."

Antarctic Flags Outreach Project - CALLOUT to those going to Antarctica

Hello all,

 

This message is for anyone going to/currently in Antarctica.

 

I run the UKPN Antarctic Flags Outreach Project and we have had so many flags from schools this year that we need a few more volunteers who may be able to take 5-10 flags to Antarctica with them.

 

This is how the project works:

 

1. Students from around the world send us their flag designs.
2. We will send the flags to you via email.
3. You then print them out or show on a device.
4. Take photographs of them with a lovely Antarctic backdrop or onboard the SDA
5. Send the pictures back to me
6. I send them back to schools.

 

 

Here is the project page on our website: https://polarnetwork.org/education-and-outreach/antarctica-flags/

 

If you are heading south this year…or…you are already there and you would be able to help me out I would really appreciate it!!

 

Many thanks

Fiona

Machine Learning for the Cryosphere | EGU Session & Community Building

Hey UKPN!

 

Do you work with machine learning or artificial intelligence in your polar research? Or hope to learn more about ML/AI and perhaps use it in your polar research eventually? This email's for you!

 

1. Consider submitting an abstract to our EGU25 session Machine Learning for Cryospheric Sciences! Submissions are open through 15 January, though we encourage ECRs to submit before 2 December to be eligible for travel support from EGU!
2. Consider joining our ML4Cryo mailing list and slack space! Inspired by the success of Climate Change AI, we hope the ML4Cryo community can become a member-driven space in which ideas, collaborations, best practices, and opportunities are shared freely and enthusiastically. We've written a bit more about how ML can advance polar science and about why we hope to build community here in an EGU Cryosphere Blog post; check that out!

 

Happy polar science-ing!

 

Cheers,

EGU session on winter and cold season ecology in Arctic/high latitudes

Dear UKPN members,

I've been asked to pass on some information about an Arctic-focussed EGU session so please consider submitting your abstract to this session.

 

The session will focus on winter and cold season ecology in Arctic and high latitude ecosystems – plants, microorganisms, biogeochemical cycling, seasonality, responses to climate change. We welcome a wide range of topics and study types – from field studies and experiments to monitoring and modelling. Please see full description below.

EGU session description:

Biogeosciences – Terrestrial Biogeosciences – BG3.19 – https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/52246

 

The cold season dominates most of the year in Arctic and high latitude regions but is understudied due to difficult access and challenging working conditions. Nonetheless, plant and microbial activity and biogeochemical turnover continues during the non-growing season under snow cover and sub-zero temperatures. Such activity is likely to play an important role in year-round biological activity and ecosystem functioning, greenhouse gas fluxes, and nutrient cycling. 

High latitude climate change is particularly pronounced during winter - where changing weather including extreme winter warming events, rain-on-snow events, and variable snow melt dates may substantially alter the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of terrestrial ecosystems and ecosystem interactions. However, there is a lack of data and understanding of the disruptions to soil-microbe-plant-snow-atmosphere interactions and ecosystem functioning resulting from changing winter conditions. Addressing the cold-season knowledge gap will bring us closer to a more comprehensive understanding of high latitude ecosystems and responses to seasonal and climatic changes.

In this interdisciplinary session, we aim to attract researchers working on the themes of Arctic and high latitude cold season biogeochemistry, microbiology and plant-soil processes. We want to bring multiple varied perspectives from different ecosystem constituents together, forming an integrated ecosystem approach that considers drivers, transformations, feedbacks, and interdependencies. We welcome studies focusing on experimental and modelling approaches to understand Arctic winter plant and microbial functioning, biogeochemical cycling, and associated impacts on the growing season, responses to changing Arctic seasonality, and winter climate regimes.

 

We hope to make this session as interactive as possible, with lots of opportunities to network and connect. I would like to especially encourage PhDs, postdocs and early career researchers. Together, we will shape this session!

 

The call for abstracts is now open, deadline January 15, 2025, 13:00 CET.

 

EGU takes place in Vienna, Austria, and online, April 27-May 2, 2025.

 

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you want to hear more about this session, discuss whether the scope of your work fits with the session, or have any other questions!

 

All the best,

Emily, on behalf of the convener team, Laura Helene Rasmussen, University of Copenhagen, and James Bradley, Mediterranean Institute for Oceanography

Subject: Mathematics of Sea-Ice, 23-24 January 2025, UEA

 

Dear all,

Sea ice is one of the largest and most dynamic ecosystems on Earth. Record lows in 2023 sea ice extent highlight the need for an urgent and better modelling sea ice dynamics.

Modelling sea ice and its behaviour is a challenging problem as highlighted in the recent The Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. A theme issue "Theory, modelling and observations of marginal ice zone dynamics: multidisciplinary perspectives and outlooks" (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rsta/2022/380/2235) and the INI programmes  "Mathematics of Sea-Ice Phenomena" and "SIP Follow on: Mathematics of sea ice in the 21st century" (https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/sipw05/).

To continue the discussion initiated at INI and at the previous edition of the "Maths of Sea Ice" we are planning a meeting on the 23–24 of January 2025 at the University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK).

We aim to start the meeting on the Thursday at 12:30 and close it no later than 15:00 on the Friday to facilitate travel.

The meeting will bring together researchers from different fields to present modern problems of ice dynamics, sea ice-waves interaction and thermodynamics, to formulate new problems and models and to discuss strategies for their solutions. The meeting also aims to bring new specialists with new ideas and non-standard approaches and techniques to the challenging problems of sea ice modelling.

Invited speakers for this meeting will be:

Francesca De Santi (CNR Italy)

Danny Feltham (University of Reading)

Philippe Guyenne (University of Delaware)

Atle Jensen (University of Oslo)

Delegates will have the opportunity to deliver 5 mins talks and a poster. leaving plenty of time for discussion.

The meeting is supported by the Isaac Newton Institute Network Support (EP/V521929/1) and EPSRC (EP/Y02012X/1), there are no registration costs. We aim to support reasonable travel and accommodation costs with priority given to Early Career Researchers (PhDs from the UK) by providing support towards travel expenses.

For accommodation, we suggest the hotel in the UEA campus

https://www.uea.ac.uk/about/information-for-visitors/visitor-accommodation. Please book yourself a room there (or somewhere else in Norwich) and we will reimburse you after the meeting.

We hope we can join us in Norwich, please sign-up on 

https://forms.office.com/e/GxHixfU6xz

as soon as possible to help us plan.

Forward the invitation to interested people in your network, particularly Early Career Researchers that we might have missed out on.
