[CRYOLIST] Second Call for Session Proposals 5th European Conference On Permafrost (EUCOP5), June 2018

Dear colleagues,

The 5^th European Conference on Permafrost (EUCOP 2018) will be held in Chamonix-Mont Blanc, France, 22 June - 1^st July 2018. The conference aims at covering all relevant aspects of permafrost research, engineering and outreach on a global and regional level.

We have opened at the beginning of February the call for session proposals, which should be submitted until 15 April 2017.

 

Each session will be organized by two to three co-conveners (i.e. those that submit the session proposal). We encourage a high degree of internationality for the convener boards. At least one convener should be a member of the Permafrost Young Researchers Network (PYRN). PYRN conveners are students or young researchers within six years after completion of their doctoral thesis, however, they must not be students or formally under the supervision of the senior conveners of the according session. The conveners will be responsible for the selection of abstracts and for the organization of oral or poster presentations.

 

Inspired from the research developments exposed during the last conferences on permafrost, the following general themes denote the diversity of research to be presented at the conference: Mountain permafrost - Lowland permafrost - Periglacial geomorphology and paleoenvironments - Planetary permafrost - Permafrost and climate change – Climate and carbone feedback - Ecology, microbiology, biogeochemistry - Natural hazards - Foundation engineering and infrastructure on permafrost - In-situ and remote observation techniques and programs - Modelling - Socioeconomic and cultural dynamics - History of permafrost engineering and research - Education and outreach - Infra-periglacial geomorphology - Risks on permafrost-affected slopes – Forest/ice/snow covers on permafrost  - Critical zone - Etc.

Those themes are by no means restrictive and we especially wish to favour a transdisciplinary, holistic and systemic vision of the questions that the permafrost community faces. This latter includes researchers as well as stakeholders, socio-economic, political and cultural actors, commonly engaged to address the societal challenges of permafrost in a warming world.

 

By 30 May 2017, a decision by ISC/LOC will be presented on the acceptance of submitted sessions. The decision will be based on the inherent scientific interest and quality of the session proposal, the potential to attract participants, the thematic overlap and number of available slots at the conference. 

 

The call for abstracts for the accepted sessions will open 20 August 2017 until 15 December 2017. After that date, depending on number of abstracts being submitted to each session, the LOC and the ISC may propose to merge, modify or cancel sessions.

 

We are looking forward to receive your session proposals for the EUCOP 2018 (session title, names of the conveners with their e-mail, summary of 10-15 lines) asap by e-mail (philip.deline@univ-smb.fr).

[CRYOLIST] PhD position in physical oceanography at the University of Bergen, Norway

Dear colleagues,

We have an open 3-year PhD position in physical oceanography/climate
dynamics at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, and
Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research.

The position is connected to the project PATHWAY - Pathways, processes,
and impacts of poleward ocean heat transport, funded by the Research
Council of Norway. The overall objective of PATHWAY is to understand the
transport of ocean heat with the Gulf Stream's extension toward the
Arctic, the interaction with the atmosphere above, and eventual
influence on continental climate variability. PATHWAY has a particular
focus on ocean heat transport through the Nordic Seas and what can be
resolved from the instrumental record to elucidate the relative roles of
advection, lateral mixing and atmospheric fluxes for the ocean heat
budget. PATHWAY will also assess to what extent and by which mechanisms
ocean temperature fluctuations are communicated between the subpolar
North Atlantic and Nordic Seas-Arctic.

We search for candidates with experience in and interest for ocean
circulation, air-sea interaction and climate dynamics, in particular in
the Arctic and Subarctic oceans. The successful candidate will be part
of an international team, involving scientist from Norway, UK, Germany,
and USA. Please see the advertisement below for additional details.

[CRYOLIST] PhD student for NSF funded Antarctic project

PhD student sought for a NSF funded project to study landscape evolution and geomorphology in Antarctica.

 

Collaborative Research: Long Term Sublimation/Preservation of Two Separate, Buried Glacier Ice Masses, Ong Valley, Southern Transantarctic Mountains; Jaakko Putkonen: University of North Dakota, Daniel Morgan: Vanderbilt University, and Greg Balco: Berkeley Geochronology Center. The graduate research requires travel and work in Antarctica for a period of about two months. The home institution for the student will be University of North Dakota, Harold Hamm School of Geology and Geological Engineering, Grand Forks, ND. However, he/she will be advised and will be collaborating with all the project leaders listed above. Also, travel between institutions may be required.

 

The major challenge of this project is determining how old the ice is and how fast it is subliming (or accumulating). We will address this by collecting six shallow (10 m long) ice cores – three from each of the two separate, buried ice bodies – and applying several approaches based on cosmogenic-nuclide geochemistry to constrain the age of the ice and overburden, as well as the sublimation rate of the ice.

 

The specific tasks of the student: will learn to process cosmogenic isotope samples and build, manipulate, and run MatLab codes. Must be eager and able to do field work in deep back country, living in a tent for an extended period of time. Any experience with these topics is beneficial for the applicant.

 

More information on the Harold Hamm School of Geology and Geological Engineering can be found:

http://engineering.und.edu/geology-and-geological-engineering/

 

Link to applications page:

http://graduateschool.und.edu/future-students/index.cfm

 

We will start reading the applications as soon as they arrive and make our decision no sooner than 3/1/2017. After that date we will accept applications until the position is filled.

[CRYOLIST] IARPC Sea Ice Collaboration Team Telecon, Monday, Feb.27, 1 pm EST

Dear Colleague:

The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) is initiating implementation of Arctic Research Plan 2017-2021. I and my colleagues Olivia Lee and Jackie Richter-Menge will be leading the Sea Ice Collaboration Team (SICT), and we invite all interested researchers and stakeholders to participate in our meeting on 27 February at 9 AM Alaska Time (1 pm EST).

At this meeting, Matthew Druckenmiller will deliver a presentation on "The SEARCH Sea Ice Action Team's ongoing efforts to support Knowledge Exchange". The Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) Sea Ice Action Team aims to advance awareness and understanding of the impacts of Arctic sea-ice loss by enabling collaboration, community engagement, and communication. This update will summarize outcomes from the Action Team's first Knowledge Exchange Workshop in fall 2016, outline upcoming plans to tackle emerging societal questions about sea-ice loss, and discuss how this all fits within the broader activities of SEARCH.

****

How do I participate?

If you don't already have one, request an account on IARPC Collaborations, where information is shared among the 1000+ members of our research community. Once you have an account,  join our collaboration team and you will automatically be notified of upcoming collaboration team meetings via email. You may also RSVP and view the connection information for our next meeting here.   

Why participate in IARPC Collaborations? 

While the IARPC Arctic Research Plan is a U.S. Federal government product and responsibility, IARPC recognizes that implementation cannot be accomplished without the research community. Therefore, collaboration teams and the IARPC collaborations website are open to participation by all stakeholders. The IARPC collaboration teams and website has created a new level of transparency in the research endeavor where information is flowing between the community and Federal agencies. Think of it as a regular science workshop, but on an ongoing and monthly basis.

• Communicate regularly with Federal program managers and the research community. The conversations enabled through IARPC Collaborations have created an unprecedented level of information exchange. The research community benefits from the ongoing, monthly meetings where they can present their research to peers and program managers and learn about new research efforts within their field. Program officers, always eager to learn about research activities and priorities from the community, are able to do so on a regular basis. Program managers learn about one another's programs, and identify synergies between programs and programmatic gaps.
• See your research results in reports to Congress and Federal agencies. Reporting on implementation of the Arctic Research Plan goes to the IARPC principals, chaired by the Director of the National Science Foundation and made up of representatives of 14 Federal agencies, and to Congress. Anyone may submit their contributions to our Arctic Research Plan and see their research in these reports.

We hope you will consider participating in SICT meetings, posting information on the website and getting involved in a meaningful way that benefits you and the work you are doing. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
