The Challenger Society confe rence for UK marine science this year marks 150 years since the Challenger expedition.
The meeting will be hosted by the Natural History Museum a nd Imperial College London from the 6th to 8th September 2022. The meeting will be held in person at the Royal Geographical Society, the Natural Histo ry Museum and Imperial College in South Kensington, London.
There is a very broad session on the links between the cryosphere and marine science which may be of interest to some of you. The abstract submission is this Fr iday 15th May and registration closes on July 1st. &n bsp;
The cryosphere session description is:
< h3>T13 Where ice meets ocean: the unique ocean environments of Antarctica a nd Greenland’s shelf seas, ice shelf cavities and tidewater glaciers & nbsp;The polar regions are undergoing a rapi
d transition due to the changing climate and there is significant uncertain
ty concerning how these environments will evolve in the coming decades to c
enturies. Understanding ocean conditions is key, not only to making accurat
e sea level projections, but also because changes in these regions have con
sequences for global ocean dynamics as well as associated biological and ch
emical processes.
The aim of this sessio n is to bring together a diverse group of marine scientists working on the oceanography, chemistry, and biology of the shelf seas, sea ice, ice shelf cavities and tidewater glacier fjords of Greenland and Antarctica. We welco me submissions based on remote sensing, direct observations, paleo studies, model simulations, developments and theoretical advances that address the physical, chemical and biological drivers and processes operating in these crucial climactic regions, and the influence that they exert on the ocean b eyond.

We hope you consider submitting an abstract to the session.
