Chemical, biogeochemical, and physical drivers of the coupled polar atmosphere and climate: an International Polar Year 2032-33 planning workshop

17 Nov 2024, 18:00 → 22 Nov 2024, 22:30 Europe/Zurich

Centre Paul Langevin, Aussois, Alps/ France

Hélène Angot (CNRS-IGE Grenoble), Markus Frey (British Antarctic Survey), Thorsten Bartels-Rausch (PSI - Paul Scherrer Institut)

The international  initiatives CATCH, PACES, BEPSII, ASPeCt and QUiesCENT will hold a joint workshop bringing together scientists and stakeholders with an interest in atmosphere-ice-ocean research focussing on chemical, biogeochemical and physical processes in the Arctic and Antarctic and links to climate change. Cold regions which are seasonally or permanently covered by snow and ice, notably the Third Pole, are also of interest. 

Workshop purposes are to i) present cutting-edge interdisciplinary science, and ii)  jointly identify ‘big picture’ science questions, research priorities and implementation pathways for research activities in field, laboratory and modelling before and during the 5th International Polar Year (IPY) 2032-2033.

Workshop outcomes will include a white paper to shape IPY32 funding calls, underpin grant applications, and influence the planning of polar research cruises, field campaigns and new long-term measurement capabilities.

The workshop will fully integrate hybrid participation from attendees both on-site and on-line. We will follow a split-day schedule, with early morning and evening sessions to accommodate participants from the global span of time zones. ECRs will play active roles as session chairs and rapporteurs. Funding support is available upon request.
