JCIOI (Joint Commission on Ice-Ocean Interactions) invite you to join an online workshop (online) on ice-ocean interactions 17-19^th October 2022. The workshop will address four key science themes:

1. The physics of the ice-ocean boundary

2. The role of glacial melt in the wider ocean

3. The impact of ocean-driven melt on glacier and ice sheet mass balance

4. New and emerging technologies for studying ice-ocean interaction

Register online by 7^th October 2022

The EU Horizon 2020 projects ECOTIP and FACE-IT, in collaboration with the EU Polar Cluster, warmly invite you to attend a webinar on how EU science on Arctic marine biodiversity addresses knowledge gaps identified in the IPCC process and supports adaptation.

The webinar will be held on Wednesday September 21st 2022 from 13-14:30 CEST on the Zoom platform.

Please register here to receive the invitation link. 

Please find the programme below, which can also be downloaded from this link. 

10-11:00 CEST  - Where: Zoom

This webinar will focus on; (1) How to access or request high-resolution satellite data useful for Arctic scientists?, (2) Which parameters one should think about while requesting data?, (3) What kind of data is available?, (4) What are these data useful for? In brief, the webinar speakers should guide the diverse arctic science community in demonstrating the usefulness of the high resolution data and the ways they can access the data. Speakers from KSAT and Planet.

The EU-H2020 funded INTERACT (International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic) opens a call for research groups to apply for Transnational Access and Remote Access to 39 (TA) and 26 (RA) research stations.

The current call for Transnational and Remote Access applications is open until 15^th November 2022, and it is for access taking place in April -October 2023. You can find the TA/RA Call information, descriptions of stations and their facilities, and registration to the INTERACCESS on-line application system from the INTERACT website.

The Special Issue, New Advances in Ecosystem Services, Biodiversity, and Environmental Sustainability, will investigate the latest advances in the sustainable exploitation of different ecosystems and exploration of their potential. We are inviting scientific contributions assessing new biomolecules and the potential of bioremediation using organisms and microorganisms, as well as those evaluating their environmental impact, environmental response, and the assessment of their extent and limits.

Submission Deadlines 30 June 2023.

At Arctic Frontiers 2023 Moving North, there will be seven science themes, covering a wide range of topics in physical and social sciences.  

The call-for-abstracts is now open. New deadline: September 26th 2022

• Session 84: Extending the limits of ice core science beyond new analytical, conceptual and inter- disciplinary frontiers 

Understanding the past climate variability and sensitivity from glacial archives is fundamental for placing the current changes in a longer-term context. The scientific ice core community is currently putting an enormous effort towards retrieving the oldest continuous ice core from Antarctica (Project Beyond EPICA) and training a new generation of ice core scientists capable of analyzing, interpreting, and modelling the new records that will be obtained (ITN DEEPICE project).

• Session INQUA-MARE: Pole to pole teleconnections as registered in Antarctic and Arctic Holocene Archives

With the expression “pole to pole teleconnections” we refer to climate anomalies in the Arctic region, caused by oceanic or atmospheric processes originating in the Antarctic region and vice versa. These anomalies are well recognized in today’s climate but are detected with difficulties in the paleoclimate archives. Within the frame of the CMP-Coastal & Marine Processes (Coastal and Marine Processes) Commission and of the SPLOSH (Submerged Palaeolandscapes of the Southern Hemisphere) International Focus Group, the “INQUA MARE” scientific action (INtegrated QUAternary MArine REcord at Sensitive Latitudes, 2020-2024) aims to exhaustively explore the interactions between the tropical and polar regions by studying the Holocene marine sediment records from Arctic, Antarctic and Tropical regions, considered as the most sensitive areas to climate change. With this session, we would like to “recap” the first two INQUA-MARE workshops focused on the Antarctic and on the Arctic realms respectively, to open the discussion also to the terrestrial environment, and to promote next INQUA-MARE workshop that will focus on tropical areas and worldwide teleconnections between high and low latitude regions. We therefore welcome contributions that explore (and possibly compare) Holocene marine and terrestrial records from the Antarctic and Arctic regions highlighting anomalies ascribable to the climate fluctuations regime on the opposite Pole. 

This workshop will present how Copernicus supports EU’s policy actions by contributing to the monitoring of the Polar Regions. The workshop aims to address Polar resilience, the changing Arctic economy and not least the changing climate at both poles, and how Copernicus can support monitoring these key aspects and facilitate interactions and discussions between different stakeholders.

A special issue of Water (ISSN 2073-4441). This special issue belongs to the section "Soil and Water".

The Special Issue aims to investigate and understand the sources, fate, transport, and effects of persistent and emerging organic contaminants on natural ecosystems. These contaminants are spread in all environmental compartments at middle and high latitudes due to their worldwide production and consumption related to anthropogenic activities. Most of these organic micropollutants cause adverse effects on organisms at different levels of the trophic web. In this scenario, the investigation of the potential effects and toxicity associated with their occurrence in abiotic and biotic natural compartments can not be negligible. This Special Issue will update the state-of-the-art and partially fill the knowledge gap regarding these contaminants.
