International MOSAiC Science Conference/Wor
kshop
New date: 25th -29th April 2022, Potsdam (Germany)
The MOSAiC expedition was a big success and scientist s collected terabytes of data and thousands of samples during the year of t he expedition. Now, more than one year after the end of the expedition, a l arge meeting is being organized to present and discuss the scientific resul ts. The “International MOSAiC Science Conference/Workshop” will be held fro m 25th to 29th April 2022 on the Telegrafenberg campus in Potsdam (Germany) . We hope to host an in-person meeting but we are planning a fully hybrid s etting with strong online participation options, allowing us to adapt to an y situation.
The “International MOSAiC S cience Conference/Workshop” addresses the whole MOSAiC community and offers the chance to present preliminary experimental and modelling results and t o enhance the interaction and interlinkages between the different disciplin es of the coupled Arctic climate system. Supporting this, the meeting offer s platforms to develop future analyses and publication strategies, support and foster connections to other groups and disciplines and to identify and develop joint projects. The meeting will advertise the unique data sets and attract the big modelling centers. In such a way the “International MOSAiC Science Conference/Workshop” will function as a big step towards the impro vement of the sea ice and weather forecast and regional and global climate models.
Meeting Concept
We envision a meeting concept that combines aspects of a conference and a workshop with sessions for oral and poster presentations and a great number of breakout sessions for detailed discussions (see the s chematic agenda below). Therefore, the meeting offers plenary sessions in t he beginning to inform generally about the scientific status of MOSAiC and breakout sessions for the individual MOSAiC Teams.
In addition, we will have parallel sessions (green slots)
following the character of a conference with scientific oral and poster pre
sentations (or maybe another type of presentation) on Tuesday and Wednesday
. For those sessions, abstracts can be submitted. Please ch
eck the list of sessions on the website.
Furthermore, towards the end of the week, it is planned to have
breakout sessions (brown slots) that allow detailed discussions. Many topic
s are already defined, but there will be capacity to spontaneously develop
breakout sessions to respond to topics that will come up during the meeting
.
To allow a lively and agile meet
ing, we have flexible time slots (grey slots) in the agenda to enable small
meetings and discussion rounds. There will be the opportunity to book meet
ing rooms or to use meeting points at the venue.
