Dear Colleagues,
ECO Magazine has announced the publication of a special issue dedicated to polar research. The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) is excited to work with Arctic Circle and the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) on this special issue.
The exclusive Polar Edition is part of a unique series of digital editions in 2020 designed to offer the global research community a multimedia platform to celebrate scientific progress, increase topic awareness and identify opportunities for collaboration.
Available in September 2020, the Polar Special Issue will highlight the latest international research and groundbreaking expeditions, and report on the challenges and opportunities for science, industry and local communities in the face of climate change.
We now invite all those involved in polar research projects (including academics, polar explorers, policymakers, engineers, government and industry members) to express their interest in submitting content. The editorial team welcomes science-based submissions in the form of written articles, webinars, videos and podcasts under the following categories:
Theme 1: Life Above & Below the Ice (Example topics include polar biology and ecology; life in ice, polar fisheries; marine mammals)
Theme 2: Polar Environments (Example topics include long-term observations, climate change, in situ monitoring, satellites observations, sea-ice models)
Theme 3: Humans at the Poles (Example topics include policy and sustainable management, maritime and fishery industries, indigenous communities; developing a sustainable blue economy)
Theme 4: Innovation in a Frozen Seas (Example topics include underwater robots, sensors for polar environments, new modelling techniques and software)
