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.

The theme of ASSW 2025 is Arctic Research Planning for the Next Decade as it will include the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV) Summit, providing a unique opportunity for participants to contribute toward planning the next decade of Arctic research. The ICARP IV Summit will engage Arctic researchers, Indigenous Peoples, policymakers, and other interested parties from around the world, serving as a crucial milestone for shaping the Fifth International Polar Year in 2032–33.

The 15th Symposium on Polar Science hosted by the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), Tokyo, Japan, will be held from 3 to 5 December 2024. The NIPR is organizing this annual symposium to present and promote a wide variety of polar scientific research and interdisciplinary studies. The symposium will include both oral and poster sessions. Oral sessions will be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing in-person and online participation. Poster sessions will be held exclusively on-site at the symposium venue. The official language of the symposium is English.
