Call for Abstract: Biogeochemical Fluxes and Ecological Processes in the Rapidly Changing Coastal Arctic

Please consider submitting an abstract to the following session of the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2020, which will take place on 16-21 February in San Diego, California. The Arctic of today is a new environment, warming faster and changing more rapidly than any other region on the planet; its ice is melting, its permafrost is thawing, its ocean is acidifying. Yet, estimates of the biogeochemical interactions and exchanges between interconnected Arctic systems—the land and the ocean—are poorly constrained.

Dr. Warwick Vincent at T-Mosaic Understanding the Terrestrial Effects of Arctic Sea Ice Decline

The ongoing loss of Arctic sea ice is likely to have wide-ranging effects on northern lands. The International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) has responded to the urgent need for an improved understanding of these effects by initiating the circumpolar project Terrestrial Multidisciplinary distributed Observatories for the Study of Arctic Connections (T-MOSAiC).

Great article about permafrost science @TorontoStar

One of our NI, Michel Allard, explains how permafrost affects Iqaluit airport (hint, it’s ice wedges!)

Professor Warwick Vincent is one of four recipients of the first wave 2019 of the Helmholtz International Fellow Award

They are conducting research on the major challenges of our time, investigating the Antarctic ecosystems, exploring biodiversity, developing vaccines against hepatitis or wanting to better understand the interaction of electrons at the nanoscale - four outstanding international scientists have now been awarded this prize: Helmholtz International Fellow Award "in the first round of this year's competition.

How climate change is thawing the 'glue that holds the northern landscape together'

ArcticNet collaborator Steve Kokelj: "There's a saying among climate scientists that "what happens in the North doesn't stay in the North," meaning big changes in this region will affect the rest of Canada as well."
