The Arctic Observing Summit (AOS), the European Commission and SAON are the hosts for a side meeting 24th October at the 2nd Arctic Science Ministerial in Berlin: Towards a roadmap for coordinated Arctic Observing.

The side meeting is a follow up to the Arctic Observing Summit held in June 2018. The theme for the AOS was Business Case for a Pan-Arctic Observing System.

The first part of the session will demonstrate the value of Arctic observations, linking these to relevant Societal Benefit Areas. The second part will show how Arctic long-term observing systems are linked to and support decision-making from local to global scales. In the summing up panel, calls to action to the Arctic Science Ministerial will be formulated.

Presentations from the meeting are found here.

 

The first part of this meeting (from the afternoon of Nov. 5th to the morning of Nov. 6th) is focused on business issue.  The second part of the meeting (from the afternoon of Nov. 6th to the afternoon of Nov. 7th) will be a science workshop focused on results and future plans for PAG joint research activities, including the Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO), Pacific Arctic Climate and Environment Observatory (PACEO), and Central Arctic Ocean (CAO) topics.

Time and place: 2 – 7 December 2018 at UNIS, Longyearbyen, Svalbard


The research school is organised by the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center under the project Useful Arctic Knowledge: partnership for research and education (UAK) funded by the INTPART programme 2018-2020. INTPART (International partnerships for excellent education,research and innovation) is funded by the Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education. The project, which includes partners from Norway, USA and Canada, brings together leading researchers, educators and young scientists working on Arctic science topics described below. These include natural and human-made hazards, ocean acoustics, community-based monitoring and cross-disciplinary data management. The research school is also a contribution to the education and training activities in the H2020 project INTAROS – Integrated Arctic Observation System (http://intaros.eu, and http://intaros.nersc.no).

This session aims at bringing together multidisciplinary studies that address the current state of Arctic observing systems, including strategies to improve them in the future. We invite contributions covering atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and terrestrial spheres, or combinations thereof, by use of remote sensing, in situ observation technologies, and modeling. This session will be supported by the EU-H2020 project INTAROS, and welcomes contributions from other pan-Arctic networks (e.g. INTERACT, GTN-P, NEON, ICOS, SIOS, IASOA, AOOS), multi-disciplinary campaigns (e.g. ABoVE, NGEE Arctic, Arctic Ocean 2018, RV Polarstern cruises) or databases.
Ph.D. and Master Students and Early Career Scientists (ECS) (PhD <5 years) are particularly encouraged to submit abstracts to our session: INTAROS is offering two grants of €1000 each for the best Student or ECS submitting an abstract. The applicants should send their CV, the official receipt of their abstract and a 1-page motivation letter summarizing the reasons for attending the meeting and how it can benefit their careers to Donatella Zona (). The two applications, including abstracts, deemed to be the best will be awarded the grant. Applications should be received on or before January 10th 2019. The Abstract Processing Charge of applicants will not be covered by INTAROS. The grant recipients will have to pay the costs of conference registration, travel, accommodation etc. in the first instance. They will then be reimbursed by the INTAROS project after the conference on presentation of a completed travel claim.
 
Abstract deadline: 10 January 2019, 13:00 CET.
