IGS Symposium on Snow Science (Moscow, Russia, from 2007-09-03 09:00 to 2007-09-07 17:00) — by admin

Snow is a complex and short-lived sediment with many effects on its surroundings. The emphasis will be on the internal processes and external interactions of snow with natural and man-made systems. A better understanding of the interfacial properties of snow is required to define exchange mechanisms that drive chemical, ecological and hydrological processes in many regions of the world. The snow interface also determines how roads, buildings, ski-pistes and other man-made systems are designed and used. How atmospheric interactions contribute to the formation of snow avalanches and other cold-region natural hazards will be a further conference topic, as will be snow in motion and modelling snow under static and dynamic loadings, since these are key issues in engineering problems. We hope to bring together researchers working on the physical properties of snow with scientists working on ecological, hydrological and engineering problems in which the understanding snow processes plays a key role. Snow will be examined at all scales - from the microscale of snow structure to the megascale of remote sensing. The conference theme is to pay homage to the International Polar Year 2007–2008.

After years of specialization, today's Ph.D. graduates increasingly find themselves on a multi-dimensional trajectory that requires a breadth of knowledge sufficient to make connections between distant disciplines, and a global network of colleagues from divergent backgrounds. DISCCRS (pronounced "discourse") was founded in 2002 to meet the specific challenges involved in building successful interdisciplinary careers dedicated to understanding climate change and mitigating its impacts. New Ph.D. scholars from the natural and social sciences, humanities, mathematics, engineering and other fields are encouraged to participate. Graduates from all countries are invited to join the DISCCRS Program and apply to be a DISCCRS Symposium Fellow

3rd workshop of the SCAR History of Antarctic Research Action Group: "National and transnational agendas in Antarctic Research from the 1950s and beyond" (Byrd Polar Research Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA, from 2007-10-25 09:00 to 2007-10-26 17:00) — by admin

During the workshop on "National and transnational agendas in Antarctic Research from the 1950s and beyond" we want to study to what degree research in the Antarctic has been driven by scientific criteria and to what extent compromises were made in the light of political barriers and logistical limitations. In historical perspective, a review shall be made of essential background factors at work, both scientific and non-scientific ones, when nations were moved to participate in the IGY (1957-58). Additionally background factors will be considered with regard to major nations that chose not to contribute to the IGY with expeditions. The political role of the Antarctic treaty and the role of science in it is also an important question in this context, as Antarctica at the political level became constructed as a continent by and for science and peace. Other questions refer to the development of international joint research programmes, cultural diversity of participants of the IGY, reflection of the IGY in the media at time of the Cold War, or knowledge transfer within the polar community since the IGY
