IMPETUS 2008: Techniques in Polar Ocean Observation and Monitoring
REMINDER and CORRECTION
St. Petersburg, Russia
19-22 November, 2008
For those who already applied: if you did not receive an email
confirming your registration, please contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In November 2008, the Otto-Schmidt Laboratory for Polar and Marine
Research in Saint-Petersburg (OSL), located at the Arctic and
Antarctic Research Institute (AARI), and the Association of Polar
Early Career Scientists (APECS) are organizing a training workshop on
monitoring techniques in polar ocean and sea-ice observation in St.
Petersburg. The workshop is funded by the IMPETUS-project of the
German Ministry of Education and Research, the OSL, and the AARI. It
is endorsed by the Arctic Ocean Science Board (AOSB).
There are AT LEAST TEN FULL FELLOWSHIPS for young and early career
researchers to participate in the workshop!
The workshop will provide early career scientists with know-how and
hand-on skills in the fields of ecology, oceanography, meteorology,
geology, sea-ice, submarine permafrost, and engineering. It aims to
improve existing and build up new collaborations and networks along
the continuum of senior to early career scientists. It offers the
opportunity to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of modern
monitoring techniques and methods of data transmission. It is intended
to install new interdisciplinary monitoring projects and methods
across national boundaries.
Senior scientists will give lectures on topics that are usually not
convened by traditional science conferences. They will focus on
practical issues, methods and techniques associated with modern
research and future forecasting needs. Early career scientists will
present and discuss their research in a poster session. New approaches
to current and future challenges will be presented through panels and
open forums.
The workshop will be held at the Otto-Schmidt Laboratory at the
Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute in St. Petersburg from
November 19-22, 2008.
Funding will be available through the IMPETUS program itself (see: http://www.otto-schmidt-laboratory.de/?Events:IMPETUS_2008:Registration)
and through the AOSB Fund “New Research Generation” (see: http://www.aosb.org/programs.html)
. The US Arctic Research Commission has providing funding for US young
researchers interested in Arctic Policy Issues and the Betty and
Gordon Moore Foundation have also agreed to sponsor several US young
researchers interested in Polar Marine Microbiology.
The application deadline is Tuesday, 30 September 2008.
