School and Workshop on Polar Climates
The 3rd International conference on the Ecosystem Approach to Management in Arctic Large Marine Ecosystems
Polar regions are sentinels of climate change, biodiversity, and human resilience. They have experienced the most rapid rates of warming in recent years. Its expected impacts will exceed those forecasted for many other regions, resulting in significant consequences affecting natural ecosystems and human activities.

La Notte dei Ricercatori è un’iniziativa promossa dalla Commissione Europea, che permette di creare occasioni di incontro e discussione tra ricercatori e cittadini su temi di grande attualità, parlando delle future sfide scientifiche. In tale contesto, i ricercatori di CNR-ISP Roma-Montelibretti (Francesca Spataro, Jasmin Rauseo, Tanita Pescatore, Rosamaria Salvatori, Sabina di Franco, Emiliana Valentini) presenteranno una mostra dal titolo Tra i ghiacci polari per studiare la Terra dove tramite pannelli e filmati saranno illustrati le caratteristiche, similitudini e peculiarità delle aree polari e le attività di ricerca svolte. Per stimolare l’interesse dei più piccoli, i ricercatori hanno organizzato delle attività ricreative focalizzate sul tema della mostra.

Deeper understanding of biological processes and recent advances in biotechnology allow us to use the natural world to progress in various industries, such as in the development of drugs and food additives. In general, the term bioprospecting is used to indicate the exploration of living beings and biological materials for biomolecules that may be useful to humans. In this field, poorly known or poorly described genetic resources have a great potential for the discovery of new and valuable natural products. Therefore, polar organisms, given their unusual metabolic abilities and physiological adaptations to extreme environmental conditions, are well suited for this purpose. Furthermore, the possible future potential of polar organisms in of the bioremediation of pollutants, even persistent ones, at low temperatures should not be overlooked.

The Italian presence in the Arctic became permanent in the mid-nineties, thanks to the opening of the CNR station in the Svalbard Islands. In recent years, the interests of the Italian scientific community have been extended to other remote areas such as Greenland, areas of the Arctic Ocean, the Tibetan plateau and the Himalayas. In addition to the CNR, OGS, ENEA, INGV, INAF, ASI and some universities carry out research activities in these areas. In addition, Italy has strong economic interests in the Arctic with numerous industries that are active in this area, including ENI, Finmeccanica, Telespazio, E-geos, and Fincantieri. Since 1997 the has CNR carried out research in Ny-Ålesund in cooperation with national and international universities and other scientific institutions. The topics include climate, manmade pollution, instability of the ozone layer, the physical properties of aerosols and clouds in their role in radiation balances, ecology, genetics, physiology, biochemistry and the molecular and cellular biology of polar organisms, the optical properties of glacial surfaces, geochemistry, environment and permafrost, oceanography aimed at studying the transfer of energy and matter in relation to glacial coverage and, finally, historical and geographical studies that evaluate the Italian contribution to polar exploration and research. Recently there has been an intensification in the study of legal issues of specific to the Arctic with advice given to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within the framework of the Arctic round table.
