The EU funded project POLARIN invites the scientific community to submit proposals to access 49 Research Infrastructures (RIs) in both polar regions contributing to addressing the key research priorities.

Apply for accessing polar research infrastructures until the 28th of November 2024, 4 pm CET  -  MORE INFO

POLARIN is an international network of polar research infrastructures and their services, aiming at addressing the scientific challenges of the polar regions. The network includes a wide array of complementary and interdisciplinary top level research infrastructures: Arctic and Antarctic research stations, research vessels and icebreakers operating at both poles, observatories, data infrastructures and ice and sediment core repositories.

If you want to learn more about this unique opportunity to access 49 Research Infrastructures in both polar regions, or if you have any questions, join us on 21 October 2024 at 14:00 CEST.

Applications are open for the IASC Fellowship Program 2025. The IASC Fellowship Program is meant to engage early career researchers in the work of the IASC Working Groups, and a total of 9 Fellowships will be offered for 2025.

The deadline for applications is 23 October 2024.

The conference aims to:
- Provide a forum for those engaged in Earth System Science research in Svalbard - from Early Career Researchers to senior scientists - to share their latest results and network.
- Reduce the cost and environmental impact of conference participation.
- Review the state-of-the-art in Earth Observation and Remote Sensing applications in Svalbard.
- Demonstrate the breadth of Earth System Science research undertaken in Svalbard using remote sensing, fieldwork and modeling. MORE INFO

Senior Research Fellow within the European H2020 project Beyond EPICA Oldest Ice Core: 1.5 Myr of greenhouse gas -climate feedbacks.
MSc in Geophysical Sciences (University of Catania) and PhD in Science and Management of Climate Change (Ca' Foscari-Venice).
His research line focuses mainly on two topics: i) the reconstruction of past climatic and environmental conditions based on ice core records and ii) the study of the chemical and physical properties of the seasonal snowpack in the Arctic environment.
He is currently involved in the analysis of glacial archives from polar and alpine regions (i.e. ice cores, snow, and firn), using mass spectrometry techniques for trace elements determination. He is particularly interested in the study of halogens (bromine and iodine) in glacial records, and their link with seasonal sea ice fluctuations, as well as the study of biogeochemical cycles of heavy metals, organic compounds, black carbon, mercury, and microplastics in the Arctic cryosphere. Since 2018, he has been part of the Italian team of Ice Memory, an international research project aimed at preserving the climate signal recorded in mountain glaciers around the world. Since 2019, he has been responsible for the long-term chemo-physical snow monitoring program in Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard). During the 2023-24 and 2024-25 drilling seasons, he participated in the international research project Beyond Epica Oldest Ice at Little Dome C (LDC) in the Antarctic plateau, where he contributed to the processing of the extracted ice core. In his career, he has participated in numerous scientific expeditions to polar regions, including the Arctic (Svalbard, Alaska), Antarctica (LDC), as well as high altitude alpine areas (>4200m), and subterranean glacial environments. He has contributed, as first author or co-author, to more than 20 scientific articles published in international peer-reviewed journals.

The international initiatives CATCH, PACES, BEPSII, ASPeCt and QUiesCENT will hold a joint workshop bringing together scientists and stakeholders with an interest in atmosphere-ice-ocean research focussing on chemical, biogeochemical and physical processes in the Arctic and Antarctic and links to climate change. Cold regions which are seasonally or permanently covered by snow and ice, notably the Third Pole, are also of interest.
