Impacts of an Ice-Diminishing Arctic on Naval and Maritime Operations
14-16 July 2015
Washington D.C.
Organizers announce that the 6th Symposium on the Impacts of an
Ice-Diminishing Arctic on Naval and Maritime Operations will be held
14-16 July 2015. The event is co-hosted by the U.S. National Ice Center
and the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, and will be held at the Naval
Heritage Center in Washington D.C.
This symposium brings together nationally and internationally recognized
experts on Arctic observations, climate change, and maritime operations.
High-level opening remarks are anticipated from NOAA, U.S. Navy, USCG,
USARC, Canadian Coast Guard, and other U.S. and international government
representatives.
The 2015 symposium program will be influenced by relevant Arctic-related
events since the 2013 symposium, including:
- 2015's peak winter Arctic sea ice extent occurred Feb. 25, 2015, a
maximum that is not only early but is the lowest in the satellite
record.
- Despite a modest increase in the age and thickness of sea ice in
2014 compared to 2013, the long-term evidence points to continued
global warming and loss of sea ice.
- The updated U.S. Navy Arctic Roadmap 2014 - 2030 released.

Interdisciplinary Antarctic Earth Science
20-22 September 2015
Loveland, Colorado
Organizers invite participation in the upcoming NSF-sponsored
Interdisciplinary Antarctic Earth Science Meeting (ANT-Sci). It will be
held 20-22 September 2015 on the Sylvan Dale Ranch in Loveland, Colorado.
The meeting is intended to provide a forum for recent Antarctic
research, to facilitate the exchange of information, and to encourage
interdisciplinary research in the Earth Sciences. It will be convened as
a single-session meeting that will include invited and contributed
presentations, daily poster sessions, and dedicated discussion time to
promote exchange of ideas. The program will be guided by an
interdisciplinary organizing committee that will identify unifying
session themes based on community interest along with the critical
questions identified by the U.S. Polar Research Board and the
international Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. The meeting
will immediately follow the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) meeting at
the same venue.
In advance of the proposed Shackleton Camp logistics hub, the ANT-Sci
meeting will include a dedicated session to communicate key information
about the camp planning process with participation by NSF and Antarctic
Support Contract staff.
Details on session topics, registration and lodging will follow. For
questions, please contact organizing committee member Melissa Nigro
(melissa.nigro [at] colorado.edu).
