UK Arctic Science Conference

To the UK Arctic science community,

 

Northumbria University, Newcastle, will host the next UK Arctic Science conference on 9^th-11^th September 2025. Please find more details about the conference and a link to register here: https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/news-events/events/2025/09/uk-arctic-science-conference-2025/

 

Registration costs have been kept to a minimum. For waged staff it will cost £43.50, which includes the conference dinner. For current undergraduate/Masters/PhD students it is free, also including the conference dinner! This is due to generous support from the NERC Arctic Office and the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling. 

 

Deadline for registration is 31 August 2025 

 

Community feedback has shaped the conference programme to 1) identify key priorities for the UK Arctic science community and 2) present new Arctic-related science through an extended poster session (poster format A0 size, portrait orientation).  In addition, we will also have an early career researcher workshop on the morning of 9^th September (International Polar Year 2032-33: Overview and pathways to contribute) and a 'Polar Beers' event the same evening, organised by the UK Polar Network.

 

We look forward to welcoming participants from diverse career stages and disciplines to Newcastle in September. If you have any questions, please feel free to email.

Speaker suggestions for UKASC IPY workshop

Dear UKPN members,

 

UKPN will be running a pre-conference workshop on the International Polar Year (IPY) on the morning of the first day (September 9^th) of the UK Arctic Science Conference at Northumbria (https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/news-events/events/2025/09/uk-arctic-science-conference-2025/).

 

This workshop will share with attendees what IPY is, how it is structured nationally and internationally, current known activities, and a discussion on the last IPY. The intention is to introduce what IPY is and why it is important for ECRs to engage.

 

As a part of the workshop, we will have a panel discussion with speakers who were a part of the last IPY to discuss how the previous IPY functioned and positive outcomes/lessons learnt. We are currently looking for suggestions for speakers for this panel. If you have suggestions of potential speakers who have been a part of the last IPY, or you yourself were a part of the last IPY and would like to be on the panel, please reach out to : ipy@polarnetwork.org

 

Thank you!

 

Best wishes,

Izzy

Fw: UKPN Seminar Series: Antarctic snow algae - physiology and diversity (with a focus on Robert Island, South Shetland Island)

Hi all, 

A reminder it's not too late to sign up  here on Eventbrite for our next UKPN seminar happening tomorrow! 

UKPN Seminar Series: Antarctic snow algae - physiology and diversity (with a focus on Robert Island, South Shetland Island)

Dr Matthew Davey is an Associate Professor of Physiological Ecology currently at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS).

Much of his research is understanding where and how microscopic algae can bloom on the surface snows of Antarctica. These blooms, being at the bottom of the food chain, are an important feature of Antarctica. In his seminar, Dr Davey will explain the Antarctic photosynthetic ecosystem, its physiology and how over the years we have mapped these using a mixture of satellite images and fieldwork, including the recent terrestrial research expedition to Robert Island (South Shetland Islands) supported by the RRS Sir David Attenborough. Now we know where these species live in Antarctica we can start to work out which ones will be at risk of disappearing as global temperature rises, and where the remaining blooms might move to where the snow habitat is still suitable. He will also explain the research his group is doing at SAMS on the samples brought back from Antarctica to understand how the cells can function in extreme habitats.

Subject: [CRYOLIST] Call for polar early career input on International Polar Year priorities

 

Help shape your polar research career by providing input on polar early career priorities for the next International Polar Year!

 

The 5th International Polar Year (IPY) 2032-2033 and its legacy will impact the careers of the current polar early career community, yet mid- and senior-career researchers often shape IPY priorities. Today's polar early career researchers (ECRs) have an unprecedented opportunity to provide input on what they want priorities to be for the 5th IPY. 

 

The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and the Polar Early Career Community Office (PSECCO) partnered to bring together 120 polar ECRs for the Polar Early Career World Summit (PECWS; held 22–24 March 2025) to develop 12 vision statements and 75 priorities for the polar community for the years to come. In order to have PECWS visions and priorities reflect the global polar ECR community, we ask polar ECRs who did not attend PECWS to provide written feedback on polar early career priorities via this priority input form. 

 

This input will be used to guide international priority setting and coordination processes in polar research, including through the 4th International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV) and the 5th IPY processes.

 

In the form, you can comment on the existing visions and priorities and identify missing ideas. We welcome form submissions from all polar early career community members, and encourage you to contribute to the form even if you only want to comment on one or two priority themes. 

 

Help make sure the global polar ECR community is fully represented. Fill out the priority input form by 23:59 GMT on 11 June.

 

Please email info@pecws.org with any questions.

 

Kind regards,
Mariama on behalf of the Polar Early Career World Summit Organizing Committee
