Knowledge and understanding of processes and products linked to land to sea coupling are essential for the geological approach to earth system research. Crustal movements, material fluxes, sea-level fluctuations and climatic processes interact to determine environmental conditions and distribution

The  European Space Agency, in collaboration with the French Space Agency, CNES, is organising an exceptional Symposium on "20  Years of Progress in Radar  Altimetry". This event will be sponsored by other partner agencies and organizations supporting the development of altimetry. Along with this

Unmanned aerial systems couple innovative design and construction to assist business, science, the military and even ensure public safety from the air. Alaska offers a vast landscape in which unmanned aircraft can work. Whether it's monitoring the state's wildlife, gathering data on precious

The conference, entitled "Pathways to Arctic Innovation," will focus on challenges, lessons learned, and innovations in wildlife conservation and co-management across the Canadian Arctic.

The challenges facing the Arctic during a time of change and global warming uncertainty will be the subject of frank and lively debate between policymakers, Ambassadors from European Union and Arctic nations, polar scientists, and representatives industry and Arctic indigenous peoples groups, at the

Alaska’s IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society is announcing an upcoming lecture of its Luncheon Lecture Series on: “Remote Sensing of the Last Frontier”.

Unlike passive instruments such as radiometers or optical imagers, radars carry their own source of illumination and measure the

Join us on Friday, October 5, 2012 at the GeoData Center in the International Arctic Research Center for "Snow & Ice" – a First Friday Art Show. The event will run from 5 to 7 p.m. on the West Ridge of the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus.

"Snow & Ice" features ice-inspired photography by

Since November 2006 Dr. Jeffries has lived in Washington, DC, and worked in northern Virginia, first for the National Science Foundation (2006-10) and then the Office of Naval Research (2011-present). All the while he remained a professor and employee of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. In this

The Pechora Sea region in the European North-East is an area where the oil-and-gas industry is actively developed both offshore and onshore. At the same time, it is also a territory of unique tundra ecosystems, valuable coastal and marine regions, Indigenous cultures, and protected natural areas

G. Carleton Ray from the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia will be speaking at 3:30 pm at Elvey Auditorium at the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus.

The term "seascape" relates the natural history of ice-dependent pinnipeds to their sea-ice environments

This workshop is intended to familiarize participants with a method of texture analysis and orientation imaging (the CIP method) and to discuss texture interpretation with a special emphasis on ice. The workshop is open to all PhD level and postgraduate students and researchers.
The aim of the

An Interdisciplinary Seminar on Arctic Research for Young Scientists

The Franco-German seminar “Gateway to the Arctic” is an approach to bring together young scientists from different disciplines of natural and social sciences. The seminar will cover aspects of intensive exchange through a

The Parallel Ice Sheet Model (www.pism-docs.org) project provides an open source, fully-parallel, high-resolution ice sheet model. The PISM developer team at the University of Fairbanks Alaska is organizing a one day informal, interactive and hands-on workshop covering the following topics:

*

Two days of relatively informal and un-orchestrated exchange of ideas and reports by glaciologists in the Northwest and/or interested in the Northwest.

For nearly 40 years, the world's second-best informal annual meeting of glaciologists.

This course will address modeling strategies in cold and permafrost regions. Participants will use data from small research sites and watersheds to develop physically based models, estimate model parameters, and transfer those to larger scales. Participants will also learn how to simulate the runoff

The ART workshop will address the challenge of integrating modelling and observations in order to identify linkages and feedbacks between atmosphere-ice-ocean forcings and biological-geochemical processes that are key to ecosystem function, land-ocean interactions and to the productive capacity of

The 18th Inuit Studies Conference will be hosted by the Smithsonian Institution and will be held in Washington, DC. The conference will consider heritage museums and the North; globalization: an Arctic story; power, governance and politics in the North; the 'new' Arctic: social, cultural and climate

APECS Sweden is organizing a workshop for early career researchers, focusing on field based research methods and project design, the day before the International Glaciological Society’s Nordic Branch meeting. All students, PhD students, Post Docs and other early career scientists with interests in

The Nordic IGS meeting will take place in Stockholm on 25-27 October 2012. The meeting provides an informal venue for Nordic-based glaciologists and students in glaciology to present their latest results. The meeting is hosted by Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, Stockholm

The goal of the Graduate Climate Conference (GCC) is to provide a discussion forum for graduate students undertaking research on climate and climate change in an array of disciplines, including atmospheric, biological, earth and ocean sciences. We seek to share new techniques and avenues of research
