- APECS International Online Conference
Polar Science: Through New Eyes
18 May 2016, 08:00-23:00 GMT
Online
The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) announces a call for
abstracts for an online conference titled "Polar Science: Through New Eyes."
The conference will be held online on 18 May 2016.
This conference will encourage scientific dialogues between early career
scientists from multiple disciplines and backgrounds, with presentations
on new research perspectives from a range of research fields. With
increased attention on the changing polar environment and the future
challenges this will bring, this conference aims to convey the broad
range of new research currently being conducted internationally.
Early career researchers are well placed to present new developments in
their own fields through “new eyes,” while the conference provides an
opportunity for those in the audience to gain exposure to a range of new
techniques, methods, questions and themes. All polar researchers are
invited to share their current research findings, but APECS particularly
encourages the submission of abstracts by early career scientists, so
they can gain invaluable experience presenting their research projects
to the public. There will be a $300 prize given for best presentation at
this conference which has been donated by APECS.
Sessions will be organized under the following themes:
-Biological – marine/freshwater/terrestrial;
-Geological/Environmental/terrestrial cryospheric environments;
-Atmospherics/Climatology Oceanography/Sea-ice; and
-Cultural/Historical/Policy/Education.
Abstract Submission Deadline: 18 April 2016.
To submit and abstract, go to:

Speakers will be notified of abstract acceptance no later than
Monday, 25 April 2016.
