Association of Polar Early Career Scientists

 
The Gordon Research Seminar on Polar Marine Science takes place from 16th-22th March 2019 in Ciocco, Italy. The Gordon Research Seminar on Polar Marine Science provides early career scientists with a unique opportunity to further enhance their Gordon Conference experience. The goal of this conference is to bring together graduate students and postdocs within all fields of polar marine science, including marine biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and technology to discuss interdisciplinary links and provide a basis for future collaborations.
We especially encourage contributions that demonstrate interdisciplinary research approaches within and linking across the domains of atmosphere, sea ice, ocean, and benthos, including links to ice shelves, coasts, and human interactions.

The conference will consist of oral presentations selected from the submitted abstracts, and poster sessions. The conference will start with a keynote address from a senior scientist and conclude with a mentorship panel to provide participants with useful insights into potential career paths in polar marine science. Limited travel support might become available to attendees that indicate a need to the chairs before December 16, 2018.

If you are not aware of the conference format and are interested in a very inspiring and forward thinking conference, please check out the program online:
We want to highlight, that this is a conference covering the entire diversity of disciplines of polar marine science and is not only aimed at biologists as some rumors may tell.
 
In particular we also want to draw your attention to the associated event for early career scientists - the Gordon Research Seminar on Polar Marine Science "Linking Marine Science Disciplines to Enhance our Understanding of Polar Oceans".  
This two day event from March 16-17 preceding the 
conference gives young researchers the possibility to present their research and get accustomed to the international community of polar marine scientists.
 
The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.

The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by December 16, 2018. Any applicants who wish to be considered for an oral presentation should submit their application also by December 16, 2018. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by February 16, 2019. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. 

Note: Applications for oversubscribed meetings will only be considered by the conference chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.
