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 (d.zona@sheffield.ac.uk). 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.

2017 Fall PAG meeting is held on Nov 6-7, 2017 at NOAA/PMEL in Seattle, Washington, USA. The agenda will be sent out in the fall to all registered participants. Sue Moore will again be the local host at NOAA and Takashi Kikuchi of JAMSTEC will chair this meeting.

 

"International Workshop on Sharing, Citation and Publication of Scientific Data across Disciplines"

5–7 December 2017

Scope of Workshop: The Workshop will focus on recent topics of interest in the field of scientific data, which are attributed to play a crucial role in global trend on accelerating "Open Science" and "Open Data". Contributions from all scientific disciplines are welcome, including life and bio science, social and human science, as well as polar science.
