Dear Colleagues, 

We would like to invite you to contribute to a special volume of the Journal of Micropaleontology, with a working title of “Advances in Antarctic chronology, paleoenvironment, and paleoclimate using microfossils: Results from recent coring campaigns”. This volume will focus on studies resulting from recent scientific ocean drilling and oceanographic expeditions to the Antarctic, including International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expeditions 374, 379, and 382, as well as the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, among others. This special volume will focus on recent studies utilizing microfossils for a variety of applications (e.g. assemblage studies, paleoecology, biostratigraphy, geochemistry, etc.) to improve our knowledge of Antarctic climate evolution over the Neogene and Quaternary.

The Journal of Micropalaeontology (JM) is an established international journal covering all aspects of microfossils and their application to both applied studies and basic research. They welcome submissions relating to microfossils and their application to palaeoceanography, palaeoclimatology, palaeobiology, evolution, taxonomy, environmental change and molecular phylogeny. Owned by The Micropalaeontological Society (TMS), the scope of the journal is broad, demonstrating the application of microfossils to solving broad geoscience issues. The Journal of Micropalaeontology is committed to the open-access model of publishing. This ensures free web access to the results of research and maximum visibility for published papers. However, it requires the author or a supporting institution to pay the costs of the review process, typesetting, web publication, and long-term archiving. The price per page for a Word submission is €60 (for TMS members) or €70 (for non-members).

We hope that this special volume will include at least 15–20 papers, and we also strongly encourage review papers for groups of papers relating to a single expedition or campaign. Papers will be published upon acceptance, with a virtual special volume created after the final paper is available (at which time copies of printed volumes can be ordered). We anticipate that the special volume will be open for submissions from approximately February to December 2022. If you and your research group are interested in submitting to this special volume, please email Denise Kulhanek (denise.kulhanek@ifg.uni-kiel.de) with the following information by 3 December 2022: proposed title, authors, and brief description/abstract. Please feel free to forward this invitation to your colleagues who may be interested in the opportunity.

Cheers,

 

GLAcial Sedimentation School (GLASS):

Interpreting past climate using Antarctic and Greenland sediment cores

23-27 May 2022

Oregon State University Marine and Geology Repository (OSU-MGR)

Corvallis, OR, USA

 

Val Stanley (Oregon State University), Denise Kulhanek (University of Kiel) and Trevor Williams (Texas A&M University) are organizing a glacial sediment core school for graduate students and early career scientists using the Southern Ocean and Greenland/Arctic core collections in the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) and Oregon State University (OSU) core repositories. An official announcement with more information and details for how to apply will be released soon. Funding for U.S. participants is available from U.S. National Science Foundation funding to the OSU-MGR and from the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) INStabilities & Thresholds in ANTarctica (INSTANT) Programme for international participants.

The primary goals of this summer school are to:

• Train graduate students and early career scientists to describe and interpret the stratigraphy of Antarctic and Greenland/Arctic marine sediment cores in the context of ice, climate, and source-to-sink processes to improve our understanding of past and future climate.
• Prepare these scientists for upcoming Greenland and Antarctic expeditions and for their future careers as polar researchers. 

 

The daily schedule will include lectures on a theme in the morning, followed by a hands-on activity related to the theme. The afternoon will consist of hands-on laboratory activities that will include core description (both macro- and microscopic), chronostratigraphy, and physical properties/downhole logging. Daily themes will target different time intervals of interest and different depositional environments.

Those who are participating on upcoming expeditions will benefit the most, but the school will be open to everyone. We are planning for approximately 15 U.S. and 10 international attendees, with an application process to determine participation.

For more information, please contact Val Stanley (val.stanley@oregonstate.edu), Denise Kulhanek (denise.kulhanek@ifg.uni-kiel.de) or Trevor Williams (williams@iodp.tamu.edu). An official announcement and application procedure will be distributed soon, with applications due in late December.

 

 

Chères et chers collègues de la liste "recherches polaires et sub-polaires" du CNRS,

 

 

Les prospectives de l’INEE se tiendront du 14 au 16 décembre prochain à La Rochelle. Ces journées de réflexion serviront à présenter certaines des grandes avancées des recherches menées au sein de l'INEE et surtout à définir les priorités, les nouvelles disciplines à soutenir, les outils à développer, les besoins en ressources humaines, réseaux à un horizon voisin de l'année 2025.

 

En amont de ces journées, la communauté scientifique est invitée à déposer sur le site des prospectives (https://prospectives21.sciencesconf.org) des contributions écrites qui viendront nourrir chacun des 19 ateliers. Ces contributions, sous forme de résumés, serviront de point de départ pour structurer et alimenter la réflexion et les discussions de La Rochelle ainsi que le document final qui dressera les priorités scientifiques de l’INEE pour les années à venir. Le format de ces contributions est totalement libre.

 

Dans ce contexte, nous encourageons fortement la communauté polaire que vous constituez à contribuer à cet exercice de prospectives (que vous puissiez être ou non présent à La Rochelle) en déposant vos contributions dans l’atelier « Les pôles » et en diffusant plus largement cette information dans vos réseaux. Attention, la date limite pour ces contributions écrites est le 15 octobre 2021.

Polar Data Forum (PDF) is a place where polar data holders get together and make more use of data.

Le nord finistère bien couvert, cela ne nous change pas trop... ;-)

La mission de terrain pour l'année 2021 a été effectuée du 22 août au 5 septembre par Pierre Stéphan (LETG UMR 6554 - CNRS), Serge Suanez LETG UMR 6554 - UBO), Grégoire Mureau (LETG UMR 6554 - UBO), David Didier (UQAR - Rimouski), Ronan Autret (UQAR - Rimouski), et Lancelot Massé (UQAR - Rimouski). Financement IPEV - projet n° 1216 + co-financements LETG UMR 6554.

Bonjour,

J'ai créé une page web https://www.risques-cotiers.fr/connaitre-les-risques-cotiers/connaitre-les-aleas/centipede/

Merci de me faire des retours si des modifications doivent être apportées, ou tout simplement si elle vous convient.

Bonne journée,

Manuelle

Dans le cadre du lancement du premier appel à projets « Un océan de solutions » du Programme Prioritaire de Recherche « Océan et Climat » le 8 juin 2021, le Comité Inter-Etablissements (CIE) du PPR, qui regroupe les organismes de recherche et les universités des sciences marines, organise le 09/07/2021, de 9h à 13h, une réunion d’informations et d’échanges.

Cette réunion a comme objectifs d’expliciter les attendus du PPR aux porteurs potentiels de projets, de disposer d’un premier panorama des projets en réflexion ou en cours de montage, et de faciliter la structuration des projets au travers d’échanges entre les communautés.
