Arctic Frontiers 2012
Energies of the High North
22-27 January 2012
Tromso, Norway
The abstract submission deadline for the Arctic Frontiers 2012
conference, "Energies of the High North," is Monday, 24 October 2011.
The conference is scheduled for 22-27 January 2012 in Tromso, Norway.
The conference will bring together representatives from science,
politics, and civil society to share perspectives on how upcoming
challenges in the Arctic may be addressed to ensure sustainable
development, and will discuss the global energy outlook and assess the
potential of traditional and renewable energy resources in the North.
Arctic Frontiers is composed of a policy section and a scientific
section. This call for papers addresses only the scientific section,
scheduled 25-27 January 2012. Organizers welcome abstract submission for
both oral and poster presentations to one of these four parallel science
sessions:
- Arctic Geology, Hydrocarbon Reservoirs, and Gas Hydrates;
- Technological Development and Environmental challenges;
- Social, Political, and Economic Aspects of Energy Projects in the
High North; and
- Renewable and Alternative Energy.
Deadline for submission of abstracts: Monday, 24 October 2011.

- REMINDER: Workshop Announcement and Registration
Polar Simulations with the Weather and Research Forecasting Model
2-3 November 2011
Columbus, Ohio
Organizers announce a workshop on Polar Simulations with the Weather and
Research Forecasting (WRF) Model. The workshop will be held 2-3 November
2011 at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Registration for
the workshop must be completed by Friday, 21 October 2011.
The polar weather and climate community is using the WRF model to
address an ever expanding range of topics in both the Arctic and
Antarctic including numerical weather prediction, regional reanalysis,
climate variability and change detection, and climate model downscaling.
The goal of the workshop is to assess the community experience regarding
the strengths and weaknesses of WRF applied in high latitudes regarding
atmospheric parameterizations, numerical issues, data assimilation using
WRF-Var, and challenges facing the Noah Land Surface Model. Several
projects are underway to couple WRF with ocean and sea ice models to
develop regional system models, and another workshop goal is to
establish synergies between these efforts.
The workshop will also coincide with the formal release of Polar WRF
3.3.1 by the Polar Meteorology Group of the Byrd Polar Research Center.
Virtual participation via PolyCom or Skype likely will be supported. The
workshop will include talks, posters, and forums. There is no
registration fee.
Registration deadline: Friday, 21 October 2011.
