Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System-Knowledge Centre (SIOS-KC) and its Remote Sensing Working Group (RSWG) has prepared a survey to understand the impacts of COVID-19 on the Svalbard science community, long-term monitoring programmes, and other field activities in Svalbard during 2020. This survey will be used to make a strategy for the upcoming (2021) field season in Svalbard. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete this survey. The survey will be closed on 7th January 2021.

Fa troppo caldo per il ghiaccio - 23 novembre ore 9.00 - 10.00, per scuole e università, con Renato Colucci, ricercatore ISP 

L'attuale fase climatica di riscaldamento, evidente su gran parte della superficie terrestre e con temperature che mediamente, a livello globale, si sono già alzate di poco più di 1°C, vede le zone montane e polari quelle più vulnerabili e sensibili all'aumento della temperatura. Sono queste le aree dove si trovano i ghiacciai che, di conseguenza, si stanno ritirando a ritmo sempre più accelerato. Quali sono le conseguenze di un mondo con sempre meno ghiaccio?

Celebrating Antarctica: climate change, biodiversity, and science

L’evento (WEBINAR) si colloca nell’ambito delle attività di sensibilizzazione e promozione della PreCOP e COP 26

He joined the Institute of Polar Sciences in November 2020 as a Scientist. He got a Master degree in Geology (2009) and a PhD in Environmental Science (2013) during which he honed his skills at the University Center in Svalbard (UNIS). He is a CNR permanent staff since 2001 after working in the technical staff of the Istituto Talassografico in Trieste (2001-2004) and at the Marine Science Institute (2004-2020) in the Climate and Paleoclimate Research Group. Since 2015, he is also Adjunct Professor in Glaciology at the Department of Mathematics and Geosciences of the University of Trieste.
His Research centers around the interactions between the cryosphere (glaciers, permafrost, ice caves) and the climate, spanning from the end of the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene. Key research topics are glacial and periglacial geomorphology, glaciology, weather/climate monitoring with a focus on high elevated alpine areas, quaternary geology, ice deposits in caves.
He took part in several scientific expeditions in Antarctica (2015 and 2016) with the British Antarctic Survey, in Pakistan-Karakorum (2013) and in the Chilean Andes (2012). In 2014-2017 was a Council Member of the European Meteorological Society.

- Scientific Editor of the Journal of Mountain Science (Springer)
- Guest Editor Special Issue Interactions between the Cryosphere and Climate (Change) - Atmosphere
- Topical Editor of the International open-access proceeding s journal Advance in Science and Research

A special issue of Atmosphere (ISSN 2073-4433). This special issue belongs to the section "Climatology".

This Special Issue invites contributions addressing all aspects of cold regions meteorology and the cryosphere interacting with the past, present and future climate system from both modeling and observations. Submissions from multiple approaches, i.e., past records, glaciers, ice caps, sea ice, permafrost, meteorological and geophysical observations, numerical modeling and downscaling methods aiming to advance the current knowledge of the feedbacks between the cryosphere and the climate system are encouraged. Interdisciplinary studies, as well as detailed process surveys, are highly welcome.

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 5 February 2021.
Special Issue Editors: Renato R. Colucci (CNR-ISP)

The research of Paolo Cescon is currently focused on three main areas:
- Climate impacts on natural and human systems.
- Heavy metal speciation in environmental matrices from areas subjected to various degrees of human activity.
- Chemical contamination on a planetary level.
He is an author of 170 scientific publications in qualified, high impact factor international journals, and has set up important collaborations with many international scientific institutions.
