OSM 2026 Pelagic ecosystems and nutrient cycles in a changing Southern Ocean.

Dear Colleagues,

 

We invite you to submit an abstract to our OSM 2026 session HE010 Pelagic ecosystems and nutrient cycles in a changing Southern Ocean. The abstract submission deadline is August 20th, 2026 (03:59 UTC).

 

The productive circumpolar Southern Ocean hosts an abundance of pelagic organisms, from the smallest microbes and plankton to the largest organism on Earth, the blue whale. These organisms contribution to nutrient cycling on the global scale, affecting the efficiency of the biological carbon pump and the response of remote ocean ecosystems to climate change. Meanwhile their own habitat is experiencing rapid climate-driven change, affecting species distributions and ecosystem dynamics and function. This session will address how Southern Ocean pelagic ecosystems respond to climate change and how they mediate nutrient cycles and the global ecosystem response to change. We welcome contributions on change in the diversity, distribution, productivity, foodweb interactions and ecological functions of Southern Ocean pelagic organisms, their role in biogeochemical cycles, and the wider consequences of these changes. We welcome diverse approaches including field observations, satellite remote sensing, laboratory experiments, and modelling studies that advance our understanding of the Southern Ocean's ecological dynamics and its broader role in the Earth system.

 

Best Wishes from HE010 Session Chairs,

 

Emma Cavan, Sarat Chandra Tripathy, Simeon Hill, Clara Manno, Cordelia Roberts.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Cordelia

Subject: [CRYOLIST] Apply to be an Early Career Scientist at COP30 in Bélem, Brazil!

 

Dear Cryolist,

 

The application process for Early Career Scientist Volunteers at COP30 in Bélem, Brazil (Nov. 10-21) is now open! 

This year, the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI) will again host several Early Career Scientist volunteers at the COP29 Cryosphere Pavilion. These volunteers staff the Pavilion, introduce speakers, and answer questions about the exhibits to make the science more accessible to a wide range of audiences. In addition, the experience also gives the volunteers an inside view of the UNFCCC policy negotiations to further inform their scientific careers.

The application period is open from August 1 – 31, 2025. All applications will be evaluated (including interviews) and finalists accepted on a rolling basis throughout August; so early application is strongly encouraged!

Accommodation, although expected to be provided, may be quite basic this year--with actual camping not out of the question! So intrepid and plucky young scholars are especially encouraged to apply!

To apply, please visit the following webpage (after August 1):

https://iccinet.org/cop30-cryosphere-pavilion-ecs-program

If you have additional questions, please contact James Kirkham (james@iccinet.org) and/or Amy Imdieke (amy@iccinet.org).

Announcing a new polar field skills training course - Applications open!

❄️ The UKPN is delighted to announce PolarSTEP, an intensive field-course for UK-based early career polar scientists and professionals. ❄️

Based on survey feedback from the UKPN membership, we have put together a course schedule designed to provide training which fills recognised gaps in courses available through UK academic institutions. This November, we're bringing together a group of early career researchers and professionals from across all realms of polar science for a multi-disciplinary field course designed to provide a solid baseline in a diverse mix of polar field skills, from pitching tents to successfully engaging with local communities. 

Course content:

The focus of this field-course is to provide science planning, and scientific field skills at an introductory level. Coursework will take place both outdoors and in the classroom, with an experienced instructor team. 

A non-exhaustive list of examples of content to be covered in the course is described below:

🏔️ Basic outdoor skills (never pitched a tent or packed a rucksack? We'll teach you!) 

⛺ Field hygiene (the lack of facilities on remote field camps can be intimidating for those who haven't spent time outdoors, but we're here to give you all the tips and tricks!)

🔬 Carrying out science in the field (you'll have the opportunity to deploy field equipment and learn best scientific sampling practices)

📃 Planning remote scientific sampling (before going into the field, we'll run a session on planning and risk assessment tools that you can apply to your own science)

✅ Ethical and responsible science (we'll help you to understand and mitigate the impacts of carrying out scientific fieldwork) 

🤝 Collaborative science and interpersonal skills (fieldwork can be intense, and we'll provide tools for navigating interpersonal relationships from the field)

🔊 Communicating science from the field (now more than ever, how we communicate polar science matters. Throughout the course, our experienced instructors will guide you on the best format and style for distributing your science, and you'll come away with usable media for your own portfolio). 

Who this course is aimed at:

To apply for this course you must be an Early Career Researcher or Professional, either working in or towards a career or degree in polar science and above 18 years of age. 

The UKPN has made a commitment to breaking down barriers to polar research. Part of this goal means ensuring all polar scientists are equipped with the basic field skills needed to feel comfortable on their first experiences of polar fieldwork. As such, some of the course content will be at an introductory level. However, having some fieldwork experience will not directly preclude your participation on the course. The course is not aimed at those who have, for example, completed multiple Antarctic field seasons, as much of the content will be structured towards those who have limited experience in the outdoors and/or on scientific fieldwork. However, if you can justify why this course would be of benefit to you we will consider applicants with prior experience of polar fieldwork. 

How to apply:

Please apply through our application form before 29th August. If you have issues accessing or filling out the application, please email training@polarnetwork.org. 

📜 Please also distribute our attached poster at your institution! 📜

Best wishes,

Tarkan Bilge, on behalf of the UKPN Training team

Ocean Sciences session: Light in the ocean

Dear UKPN, 

Just sending around an advert for an OSM session that I'm co-convening (details below). It's not exclusively polar, but there's a big focus on the light changes from sea ice loss.

On a general note, please do consider attending OSM if you are in the field of marine science. It's such an amazing opportunity to have a conference of this size (~6000 people) in the UK. 

Thanks,

Laura. 

PI006 - Light in the ocean: From fundamental driver to emerging change - drivers, impacts and monitoring changing marine lightscapes

Light is fundamental to life in the ocean, shaping everything from photosynthesis and food webs to predator-prey interactions, migration patterns, and biological clocks. However, marine lightscapes—the natural patterns of underwater light—are undergoing rapid and unprecedented change. Coastal darkening, artificial light at night (ALAN), and sea ice loss are altering light intensity, spectral composition, and timing, with cascading effects across ecosystems.

This session explores the drivers, dynamics, and ecological consequences of changing underwater light regimes. We invite interdisciplinary contributions spanning ocean optics, microbial ecology, marine biology, environmental physics, and coastal management. Topics may include remote sensing and in situ monitoring, ecological modeling, biological feedback to ocean optics, and the role of light in shaping ecosystem structure and function. Emphasis will be placed on research that integrates spatial and temporal scales—from estuaries to ocean basins and from historical change to future projections—as well as studies that link science with policy or stakeholder engagement. By illuminating how altered light environments interact with climate and land-use change, this session aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and inform evidence-based strategies for managing and conserving aquatic ecosystems in a rapidly changing world.

Ocean Sciences 2026 Session: Modelling Biophysical Interactions in the Polar Oceans

Dear UKPN mailing list,

Are you interested in ocean biophysical modelling? If yes, read on! Emma Young, Sally Thorpe, Erik Behrens, Zephyr Sylvester and I are convening a session at Ocean Sciences 2026 in Glasgow that maybe of interest. The abstract deadline is 20 August (23:59 EDT/03:59 UTC) – if you have any questions please reach out and we look forward to seeing your submissions to the session.

 PI007 - Modelling Biophysical Interactions in the Polar Oceans: Ocean-Sea Ice Dynamics, Climate Sensitivity, and Ecosystem Response

https://agu.confex.com/agu/osm26/prelim.cgi/Session/254368

The polar oceans are among the most dynamic and rapidly changing regions on Earth, with profound implications for ocean circulation, carbon cycling, and marine ecosystems. In these regions, physical drivers such as ocean circulation, sea ice dynamics, and atmospheric variability strongly influence ecosystem structure and function across spatial and temporal scales. Understanding the complex interactions between oceanic processes and ecosystem dynamics in the Southern and Arctic Oceans, and predicting the response to future change, requires integrated modelling approaches that span disciplines and scales.

This session invites contributions that use a modelling approach to explore how coupled physical oceanographic and biological processes influence ecosystem dynamics in the polar oceans across a range of spatial and temporal scales. We welcome studies using both Lagrangian and Eulerian frameworks, and studies that explore both current system behaviour and the prediction of the response to future change. Key topics of interest include, but are not limited to: physical drivers of biological hotspots; coupled ocean-ecosystem responses to changes in sea ice and ocean temperature; challenges in representation of biological behaviour; applications to fisheries and ecosystem-based management in polar regions.

Hello,

 

My colleagues and I are part of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) Canada, an association dedicated to promoting and supporting the work of early career researchers (ECRs) working in polar regions. We are following up to a previously sent email as a follow-up and reminder of the July 15th, 2025, deadline for applications.

 

One of our initiatives is the Arctic Science to Art (AS2A) contest, in which ECRs working in the Canadian Arctic (defined by the permafrost line denoted here) are applying for a chance to be paired with a science-communication artist to develop an illustration of their work to be translated and distributed within a northern community with linkages to their work. This is meant to be a knowledge mobilization project with tangible benefits to the contest winner, as well as a neat way to disseminate project results and give back to the community that has supported the research. In addition to meaningfully sharing research results with community partners and further mobilizing research to broader audiences through the ArcticNet Arctic Minded podcast and Arctic Research Foundation Arctic Focus blog, contest winners will also receive paid registration to the ArcticNet Annual Scientific Meeting 2025!

 

The 2025 edition is supported by ArcticNet, the Center for Northern Studies (CEN) and the Arctic Research Foundation (ARF). It is now in full-force, and we are currently accepting applications until July 15th, 2025. With this in mind, we are contacting you to see if you would be willing to distribute this information to ECRs (whether undergraduate students, graduate students, and/or postdoctoral fellows) who are currently engaged in Arctic research. ECRs from all disciplines (e.g., natural science, social science, applied science, humanities) are welcome to apply. 

 

The contest application is quite short, requiring applicants to submit:

1.     A 100-word plain language summary of your northern research;

2.     Answers to all questions in the application form;

3.     Include a photo of your research.

We also invite you to promote this contest within your network (Please find attached promotional poster) and repost our announcement on social media (Instagram, Facebook).

 

We thank you for your time and wish you a nice day!

 

Sincerely,

Nathaniel Holloway (nholl057@uottawa.ca), Kristina Penn (kristina.penn@ucalgary.ca), Geneviève Degré-Timmons, and Gina Nickoloff

Bonjour,

 

Nous faisons partie de l'Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) Canada, une association dédiée à la promotion et au soutien du travail des chercheurs en début de carrière (ECR) travaillant dans les régions polaires. Nous faisons suite à un courriel envoyé précédemment pour rappeler la date limite de dépôt des candidatures fixée au 15 juillet 2025.

 

Une de nos initiatives est le Concours de la Science Arctique a l'Art (AS2A), dans lequel les SDC travaillant dans l'Arctique Canadien (définie par la ligne de pergélisol trouvé içi) appliques pour une chance d'être jumelé avec une artiste spécialisée en communication scientifique pour développer une bande dessinée de leur travail pour être traduit et distribué dans une communauté nordique ayant des liens avec leur recherche. Ceci est destiné à être un projet de mobilisation des connaissances avec des avantages tangibles pour le gagnant(e) du concours, ainsi qu'un moyen intéressant de diffuser leurs résultats et de redonner à la communauté qui a supporté leur recherche. En plus de partager de manière significative les résultats de la recherche avec les partenaires de la communauté et de mobiliser d'avantage la recherche auprès de publics plus larges par le biais du podcast Arctic Minded d'ArcticNet et du blog Arctic Focus de l'Arctic Research Foundation, les gagnants du concours recevront également une inscription payée au Annual Scientific Meeting d'ArcticNet en 2025.

 

L'édition 2025 est supportée par ArcticNet, le Centre d'études nordiques (CEN) et l'Arctic Research Foundation (ARF). Le concours est désormais en pleine vigueur, et nous acceptons des applications jusqu'au 15 juillet, 2025. Avec ceci en tête, nous vous approchons pour demander si vous seriez prêt à distribuer l'information dans ce courriel avec les SDC (qu'ils soient des étudiants de premier, deuxième ou troisième cycle, ou un(e) boursier(ère) postdoctoral(e)) qui sont actuellement engagé dans la recherche Arctique. Les SDC de toutes les disciplines (par ex., sciences sociales, sciences appliquées, sciences humaines) sont de bienvenue à appliquer. 

 

L'application du concours est très court, en exigeant des participants qu'ils soumettent :

1. Un résumé vulgarisé de 100 mots portant sur votre recherche nordique;
2. Répondre à toutes les questions dans le formulaire;
3. Inclure une photo liée à votre recherche. 

 

Nous vous invitons à faire la promotion de ce concours au sein de votre réseau (vous trouverez ci-joint une affiche promotionnelle) et partager notre annonce sur les médias sociaux (Instagram, Facebook).

 

Merci pour votre aide, et nous vous souhaitons une bonne journée!

 

Sincèrement,

Nathaniel Holloway (nholl057@uottawa.ca), Kristina Penn (kristina.penn@ucalgary.ca), Geneviève Degré-Timmons, et Gina Nickoloff
