Call for Community Input - Arctic Observing Summit 2018
Extended deadline: 4 March
The Organizing Committee for the Arctic Observing Summit 2018 is seeking input on the topics under discussion at the Summit in the form of brief statements. More details on the AOS process and specific guidance on input sought are provided below. The theme for the Summit is The Business Case for a pan-Arctic Observing System.
Community input can highlight important data, management, or logistical needs or gaps, explore emerging opportunities, address a current challenge, present new initiatives or technology that can contribute to Arctic observing (including global programs), or review on-going observing activities or issues that are relevant for the development, application, operation, or support of a sustained Arctic observing network.
To allow for the broadest participation possible, the submission deadline has been extended even further, to 4 March 2018. In addition, funding has been made available by IASC and others for early career researcher and Indigenous researchers of any career stage at Polar2018, including the AOS. The application process is being administered by APECS, and the deadline is February 28.
For more detailed information on themes and submissions, please visit the AOS website. Instructions for short submissions are available here.
We also encourage you to submit poster presentations to the AOS. Early-bird registration and accommodation are open for Polar2018 until the end of March!
