This workshop will be run by Christine M. Hunter (Assistant Professor of Wildlife Ecology, University of Alaska Fairbanks) and Jean-Dominique Lebreton (Director of Research at CNRS, Montpellier, France). The workshop will discuss field population dynamics and matrix population modeling. It is aimed

The conference will provide an opportunity to discuss the immediate past, the present situation, and the prospects for the near future of urbanization in the Arctic. The conference will explore different aspects of urbanization such as:

* The overarching framework of the urbanization process

This course is a detailed exploration of the behaviour of calving glaciers, marine ice-streams and ice shelves. Lectures and seminars will focus on recent changes in calving glacier dynamics and front positions, and the theory of key processes including hydrology, basal motion, fracturing and

Research presentations are welcome on all aspects of snow and ice research. We particularly encourage international colleagues who may be planning to visit the UK around this time to join us in Aberdeen and present their work. We will advertise a website nearer the time with all relevant information

The theme for this symposium is open. It covers a wide variety of topics relating to the Arctic and the Antarctic. These include:

* Human rights issues, such as autonomy and self-government vs. self-determination, the rights of indigenous peoples to land and natural resources and cultural rights

Poul Jensen, a doctoral candidate in Space Physics at the Geophysical Institute, created the film after capturing aurora photographs from a number of locales in the Interior. “Aurora Sensations” is a compilation of many of those images set to music in a 30-minute production.

In addition to Jensen

St. Petersburg State University invites you to participate in the forthcoming International Conference on “Geomorphology and Quaternary Palaeogeography of Polar regions” conducted jointly with the International Field Workshop of INQUA (the International Union for Quaternary Research) Peribaltic

The deadline for application to the "Climate Change in the Marine Realm" summer course has been extended to Tuesday, 10 April 2012. The course will be held 10-24 September 2012. It will be convened in two locations, the first week at the Wadden Sea Station in List/Sylt, and the second week at the

This international conference is organized under the general theme “Moving plates and melting icecaps - Processes and forcing factors in geology” to celebrate the centenary of the first paper on the concept of moving continents published by Alfred Wegener (Wegener 1912) who died at the age of 50

The course provides a basic introduction to the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets with a focus on ice-climate interactions. Topics include: continuum mechanics, kinematics, ice rheology, sliding and hydraulics, numerical modelling, polar meteorology, ice-ocean interaction, ice cores, interaction

The event is intended for the UK-based science community engaged in any natural science discipline applied to studies of Antarctica, especially in an Earth system science context. With keynote speakers, presentations on behalf of leading projects, and opportunities to build new networks, the purpose

The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Trustee Council will meet on Friday, 14 September 2012 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. AKST at the Glenn Olds Hall, 4210 University Drive in Anchorage, Alaska.

Meeting materials, including a tentative agenda, are available at: http://www.evostc.state.ak.us/Events

IWIC is a series of workshops devoted entirely to ice cave research. After meetings in Romania, Slovak Republic, Russia, and Austria, Italy now hosts this unique workshop. We offer a place to examine the state-of-the-art, discuss ongoing research efforts, and boost international cooperation. We will

The International Snow Science Workshop will be held September 16-21, 2012 at the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage, Alaska. The setting for this year’s symposium is the urban environment of Alaska’s largest city surrounded by several mountain ranges within view of the conference center including: the

The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) announce "ICETECH 2012: International Conference and Exhibition on Performance of Ships and Structures in Ice," to be held 17-20 September 2012 in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

We invite you to join this exciting event through technical paper

The 3rd ICESM will take place from 17 – 21 September 2012 in Hamburg, Germany, with the objective of advancing discourse on Earth system modelling prior to the 5th Assessment Report of the IPCC.

Session titles include:
- Seasonal to decadal climate predictability and prediction
- Changing

In the past decade, earthquake scientists have discovered a family of unusually slow earthquakes. These slow earthquakes occur in diverse geologic environments. Like ordinary earthquakes, they occur as slip on the same faults that host ordinary earthquakes, but they take a long time to unfold

A workshop dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Kolka Glacier event is being organised in Vladikavkaz, Russia, on September 18-20, 2012, including a visit to the disaster site in Karmadon. This workshop will be part of a larger conference on natural and man-made hazards in mountain areas, which

This working group meeting is being convened at the direction of the NASA Cryospheric Sciences Program to assess current satellite algorithms/methods, models and measurements and to recommend future directions to improve calculations of surface mass balance over the ice sheets and snow accumulation

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) initiative is a multidisciplinary research program designed to answer two critical, interrelated climate questions: How will the unstable West Antarctic ice sheet affect future sea level? How do rapid global climate changes occur?
