Upcoming US Early Career Ice Core workshop

ICECReW 1.5-day workshop before US Ice Core Open Science Meeting

The second Ice Core Early-Career Researchers Workshop (ICECReW) will be held on May 7 and 8 2023, ahead of the US Ice Core Open Science Meeting (May 8-10) at the University of Washington, Seattle. ICECReW is an opportunity for early-career researchers to meet and discuss ice core science. The focus of this year’s workshop is encouraging collaboration and generating proposal ideas.

Environmental geometry: how time and space shape processes in the Polar Regions, the 2023 Polar Marine Science (GRS) Gordon Research Seminar

548 GRS2023 Gwenaëlle GremionThe GRS on Polar Marine Science is a meeting specifically designed for early career scientists. The aim of GRS is to bring together early-career researchers in all fields of polar marine science (marine biology, chemistry, physics, geology and technology) to discuss interdisciplinary links and provide a basis for future collaborations. GRS will therefore provide a forum for graduate students and postdocs to present and discuss new data, cutting-edge ideas and multidisciplinary approaches with experts in different fields of polar sciences.

2nd MOSAiC Science Conference 13-17 February, 2023 in Boulder, Colorado, USA

The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) was an international, interdisciplinary Arctic scientific expedition that drifted across the central Arctic from autumn 2019 to autumn 2020. The 2nd International MOSAiC Science Conference will be held 13-17 February 2023 at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, USA. Conference objectives are to foster cross-cutting scientific analysis, address issues of spatiotemporal scaling of information, and promote advancement of modeling and predictive capabilities.

7th EGU Snow Science Winter School 2023

29 January-4 February 2023, Davos, Switzerland

Special topic "Snow measurements in the field and laboratory"

Objectives

Covering up to 49% of the total land surface in midwinter in the northern hemisphere, snow is a crucial component of the cryosphere. Snow plays a key role in our environment, with social and economical implications such as the climate change, natural hazard, tourisms, etc. How does snow behave and interact with its surrounding largely depends on its microstructure, which varies widely from light dendritic snowflakes to small rounded grains or dense melt crusts. Measuring and characterizing snow is essential.

Young Arctic Voices Session at the Democracy Festival

How to bring local, traditional and Indigenous Knowledge together with the 'western' approach to science to improve research and environmental observations across cultures? In this session Indigenous youth from the Arctic will discuss and raise awareness for their ideas and visions on how to combine these different knowledge systems based on their life experiences.

Together, among European and Arctic youth, we will exchange different perspectives and discuss how to make young people’s voices heard in the Arctic. Be prepared for a very interactive and participatory session and a productive dialogue with us.We are looking forward to meeting you all!

Unikkaat / Circumpolar Waves – Food Sovereignty and Self-Governance Report Podcast

541 Unikkaat Circumpolar Waves Food Sovereignty and Self Governance Report PodcastToday we are dropping a new episode of Unikkaat / Circumpolar Waves about Inuit Food Sovereignty and Self-Governance. For thousands of years, Inuit have thrived in the Arctic relying on our knowledge and values.

Core to our identity is our food security and requires accessibility, availability, culture, health and wellness, stability, and decision-making power and management. It also is distinctly tied to food sovereignty. Without food sovereignty, Inuit cannot achieve food security. This was a primary finding of ICC Alaska’s 2015 report, How to Assess Food Security from an Inuit Perspective.
