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

Join the UK Polar Network Committee! Deadline: 18th August

Hi all,

A reminder that we are currently looking for new members to join the UK Polar Network committee for the 2025/26 year (September 2025 to August 2026). All the information you need can be found on our website:

🔗 https://polarnetwork.org/about-ukpn/join-the-committee/

The UK Polar Network is a group of early career polar researchers with around 500 members, from aspiring undergraduates through to postdoctoral researchers, and polar scientists working in industry.

We are the UK's National Committee of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and throughout the year, we:

🌱 Organise skill and career development events for polar early career researchers
🎓 Deliver education and outreach events
🤝 Work to promote equality, diversity and inclusion in polar science

Over the past year, we have:

🚢 Delivered an at-sea polar fieldwork training course aboard the RRS Sir David Attenborough
🧊 Organised a workshop to discuss the impacts and responsibilities associated with polar fieldwork
🎨 Coordinated over 1200 flags from 312 schools heading down to Antarctica
🏛️ Represented polar ECRs in various national polar stakeholder groups and submitted evidence to the Parliament Environmental Audit Committee Enquiry
🍻 Ran a highly successful 'Polar Beers' outreach event
🎪 Attended science festivals and conferences

.... and much more! 

We are looking ahead to many more exciting projects planned for the next academic year!

We are currently searching for individuals to fill the positions of:

• Secretary
• Education and Outreach Officers
• Outreach Officer (Antarctic Flags)
• EDI Officer
• Festivals Officer
• Social Media Officers
• Marketing Officer
• Webmaster
• Training Officer
• International Collaboration Officer

All positions are voluntary, with differing time commitments and flexibility. Further descriptions of each role and the role requirements can be found on the webpage above.

📅 The deadline for application is 18th August 2025.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to info@polarnetwork.org. Please do share this opportunity widely across your networks! 

All the best,

Lucy & Louise

UKPN Presidents

Hi All,

 

It has been great to see some UK-based rising stars working as Early Career Scientists at the last few climate COPs. Here is the call for this year’s COP in Belem, Brazil. See email below from Susana Hancock for more information and how to apply.

 

Best wishes,

Sian

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).

Best wishes,

The ICCI team
