The Secretariat of the Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2017 announces a
final call for abstracts submissions. ASSW 2017 will convene in Prague,
Czech Republic 31 March-7 April 2017.

The Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) is an annual meeting of national
and international organizations focused on Arctic research and
exploitation, which include academia, government agencies, local
communities, industry, non-governmental organizations, and others.

The conference will be split into two meetings. The business meeting
will take place 31 March-2 April 2017 and the science meeting will
occur 4-7 April 2017. Participants can apply for each meeting separately
or together, if attending both portions of the conference.

Participants that would like to organize a side event must contact
conference organizers no later than 17 February 2016.

  1. Call for Abstracts
    21st Northern Research Basins Symposium and Workshop
    6-12 August 2017
    Yakutsk, Russia

Organizers announce a call for abstracts for the 21st Northern Research
Basins (NRB) Symposium and Workshop entitled, "Cold-region hydrology in
non-stationary world." This symposium and workshop will convene 6-12
August 2017 in Yakutsk, Russia.

Climate and landscape changes are causing the transformation of
hydrological cycle in Arctic regions, with major impacts on society. The
21st NRB workshop will address the issues of hydrological research in
cold regions, both in fundamental scientific and applied aspects,
including the studies of snow, glaciers, permafrost, frozen ground,
groundwater, seasonally frozen rivers, and lakes.

The workshop program will include scientific sessions, a field trip to
research sites, local excursions, and a Lena River cruise.

Abstracts from the following research topics are encouraged:

  • Observational evidences of change in coupled permafrost-hydrology
    system;
  • Present state and future projections of local, regional, and
    pan-Arctic hydrology;
  • Modelling studies representing landscape evolution, dynamics of water
    storages, and permafrost degradation;
  • Impacts of permafrost hydrology changes on local communities; and
  • Abstracts regarding hydrology, water resources, and water engineering
    in snow-dominated and permafrost regions.

Partial financial support may be granted to students and young
scientists on the competitive basis.

To apply for travel support, send a motivation letter and explanation of
travel expenses along with the abstract when registering.

Abstract submission deadline: 28 February 2017.

Travel support application deadline: 28 February 2017.

  1. Workshop Registration Available
    Event Drivers of Arctic Browning
    10-11 May 2017
    Sheffield, United Kingdom

Organizers of a workshop entitled "Event Drivers of Arctic Browning"
announce a call for registration. This workshop will be held 10-11 May
2017 in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

This workshop will focus on events that drive damage to Arctic
vegetation, their causes, and consequences. With increasing frequency of
events causing damage to Arctic vegetation and an increasing
appreciation of the diversity of different events that can cause
browning, this workshop provides an opportunity to discuss Arctic
browning drivers, subsequent consequences, prepare outputs, and develop
future collaborations.

Events of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Extreme winter warming,
  • Icing,
  • Frost-drought,
  • Herbivore and pathogen outbreaks, and
  • Tundra fire.

The first part of the workshop will include presentations and
discussions of Arctic browning caused by climatic and biological events.
The second part will include break-out groups to focus on workshop
outputs, collaborations, and future opportunities.

Registration deadline: 8 March 2017.
