We would like to draw your attention to the International Workshop on Antarctic Ice Rises that will be held in Tromso, Norway, between 26th and 29th of August, 2013.

The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop on Antarctic ice rises is to look at all aspects of their physical science to bring an

The 101st meeting of the US Arctic Research Commission will be held in Dutch Harbor/Unalaska. The meeting agenda will be posted on the USARC website, www.arctic.gov, closer to the meeting date.

The 8th International Conference on Geomorphology of the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) will take place in Paris at the Cité des Sciences de La Villette from August 27 to 31, 2013. The main topic of this 8th Conference is “Geomorphology and Sustainability”.

Organized by the

The Alaska Arctic Policy Commission was legislatively created by HCR 23 (1 & 2) in April 2012, and held its first meeting March 23, 2013. The Commission will carry on the work of the Alaska North Waters Task Force (NWTF) in more detail, and create an actionable Arctic policy for Alaska.

In the first week of September 2013, the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) organizes a Summer School on Mass Balance Measurements and Analysis. This summer school is carried out within the framework of the project “Capacity Building and Twinning for Climate Observing Systems” (CATCOS) which is

With the dramatic rise in geomorphological maps and mapping over the last decade there has been a natural progression towards finding more objective, and sometimes automated, techniques and procedures for mapping. Yet manual, interpretive, techniques remain effective and commonly used. We therefore

Teachers and researchers interested in learning more about participating in PolarTREC (Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating) are encouraged to participate in an informational webinar (web seminar), scheduled for Tuesday, 3 September, at 3:30 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time (4:30 p.m. PDT

As with previous annual meetings, the event will comprise an informal two days of presentations

Organizers of the 5th International Conference on Polar and Alpine Microbiology (PAM) announce a call for registration and abstracts. The conference will be held 8-12 September 2013 in Big Sky, Montana.

The conference will provide a multi-disciplinary forum for scientists, students, and

The first circular is now posted for the 7th International Workshop on Ice Drilling Technology. The workshop will be held at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA from 9-13 September 2013.

Following in the footsteps of the six previous ice drilling technology workshops held between 1974

The symposium will cover recent measurements and signal processing advances that are leading to new discoveries. It will also examine the observational needs of the next-generation ice sheet models, and how radioglaciology can support modeling requirements.

The overarching purpose of this

The Arctic Collaborative Environment (ACE) is an internet-based, open-access, Arctic-focused, information exploitation, environmental research and decision-support system that integrates data from existing remote sensing assets, products from existing and new environmental models, and in-situ

The course will provide a basic introduction to the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets with a focus on ice-climate interactions. The course is meant for Ph.D. students that work on (or will soon start working on) a glaciology-related climate project. The registration fee will be € 600. This

The overall goal of the workshop is to identify similarities and differences in how cyberinfrastructure programs serve polar sciences versus other disciplines. The workshop and the report will address engagement and connections between computer and polar sciences concerning what can be accomplished

The Alaska World Affairs Council will hold a Tuesday Lunch Program lecture featuring Chair of the US Arctic Research Commission Fran Ulmer and Ambassador David Balton, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Oceans and Fisheries in the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific
