Dear Cryolist subscribers,
SCOPE (Student-led Conference On Polar Environments) will take place in less than 2 weeks! SCOPE is a conference where students (bachelor/master/PhD) can present their research, thesis or project work in a low-pressure environment and practice the skill of presenting. You are all welcome to participate and listen to other students' presentations and the invited key-note speakers. It is taking place 6 – 7 October at the University Centre in Svalbard with the possibility to join online.
We are now finalizing our program, the final version can be found on our webpage. You can look forward to our 3 key-note speakers:
- Svalbard Science Forum gives an interactive lecture about applications for funding, and they will tell us about the "Research in Svalbard" portal and all the other resources they offer.
- Rudolf Denkmann from Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) will talk about his experience of Ny-Ålesund and about his work for SIOS: A cooperative international research infrastructure - Building an observing system to answer big questions of Earth System Science. Posters of SIOS will be present at the poster session about remote sensing.
- Vegard Stürzinger will talk about: Cruise life, and why it all matters. He will also talk about the Norwegian Polar Institute, environmental science, a North pole trip, and much more!
