Bonjour

Au nom du bureau du Comité National Français des Recherches Arctiques et Antarctiques (CNFRAA), j'ai le plaisir de vous annoncer que la 18ème édition des Journées Scientifiques du CNFRAA se déroulera à Toulouse du 10 au 12 mai 2022.

Plus que jamais notre communauté de chercheurs en milieux polaires a besoin de se réunir.
Les Journées Scientifiques organisées par le CNFRAA sont devenues un rendez-vous incontournable de la recherche en milieux polaires (Antarctique et Arctique) et sub-polaires.
Pluridisciplinaires et ouvertes à tous les chercheurs en milieux polaires et subpolaires (Science Physiques, Géosciences, Sciences de la Vie et Sciences Humaines et Sociales), elles contribuent à la valorisation des travaux de recherche et favorisent les discussions et échanges notamment entre jeunes chercheurs et chercheurs polaires expérimentés.

N'hésitez pas à:
- vous inscrire dès maintenant (inscription gratuite mais obligatoire)
- proposer une communication ou un poster (avant le 22 mars 2022)

Nul besoin d'être membre du CNFRAA pour proposer une communication ou un poster!

Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à me contacter (anne.choquet-sauvin@univ-brest.fr)

Bonne journée

Anne

Dr Melina Kourantidou : "Marine invasive species as liabilities and assets: Economic externalities and trade-offs in the Arctic and beyond"

 

Our guest Melina Kourantidou, Assistant Professor, University of Southern Denmark/ Department of Sociology, Environmental and Business Economics will present a seminar about :
 
"Marine invasive species as liabilities and assets: Economic externalities and trade-offs in the Arctic and beyond"

Abstract :

Arctic marine ecosystems are experiencing profound changes driven by climate change and increasing anthropogenic activity. Prominent features of stressors in the Arctic include observed changes in oceanographic variables as well as other ecological disturbances which are anticipated to continue and accelerate in coming years. Such changes are expected to substantially assist in the expansion of non-indigenous species northward. Of major concern is that the thawing Arctic waters enable economic development in the region and increase the risk for human-mediated exogenous arrivals. Invasive species are considered one of the most important inadvertent drivers of biodiversity loss and are known for exerting strong impacts on human welfare. When those species are also viewed as valuable resources that support local economies, conservation agents and resource managers are charged with balancing the socio-economic benefits of harvesting with the declining ecosystem health caused by the invasion. With those challenges in mind, this work addresses determinants of economic and ecological changes in Arctic marine resources as a result of the way commercially valued invasive species are managed. The work presented is motivated by the Red King Crab invasion in the Barents Sea, but has broader implications. It addresses bioeconomic trade-offs associated with invasive species management - a challenge for which losses from the invasion are just one input. It seeks to inform ways to achieve socially desirable outcomes by assessing policies and decision-making processes at the intersection between conservation of Arctic marine ecosystems and socioeconomic welfare of fishing communities. The approach reappraises the role of commercial harvesting as a management tool for controlling invasive species. The lack of knowledge and scientific consensus about features of the invasion does not reduce the need to act on little information. The institutional structures in place for combatting invasive species in the Arctic have many gaps. Invasive species are externalities to trade and economic development, and as such call for regulatory intervention across political and national boundaries that require incentive-compatible cooperation. Such cooperation may be particularly difficult in light of imperfect information about the net benefits of prevention of invasive species. Those benefits are also unequally distributed according to bio-economic conditions and therefore warrant more research into optimal control frameworks that can assist in decision-making and assessment of management strategies. Understanding the economic incentives, the different stakeholders' interests, and the underlying trade-offs behind biological invasions is central to optimal management and efficient allocation of resources.

Current call for applications for Helmholtz Young Investigator Groups 2022

 

Dear colleagues,

 

may I ask you to post a call for Helmholtz Young Investigator Groups at the AWI via your networks (particular the first two positions may be of interest):

The Science Manager of AWI's Directorate's Office just informed about a call for three positions at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research Bremerhaven:

1) Ecology of Antarctic Benthic Habitats
2) The Role of Meroplankton in sustaining benthic assemblages in a changing Arctic Ocean
3) Statistical solutions to environmental and climate data analysis
4) Computational solutions for Earth System Modeling

The program is aimed at young researchers who completed their doctorate between two and six years ago. Periods of child-rearing that fall within the postdoc phase can be credited with up to two years per child.

In addition, candidates must have relevant experience abroad: At least six months should have been spent continuously working internationally, whether during the doctoral or postdoctoral phase. Periods of earning an academic degree abroad or coordinating a major international project will also be considered.

Further details about the well financed and supported positions can be found in the outline below and the attched documents.
