The workshop will deal with career development and data management. The final workshop schedule, list of speakers and application form will be posted soon on APECS webpage dedicated to the SCAR 2012 Open Science Conference.

APECS is also organizing a speed dating event between early career scientists and senior researchers. These dating events are a lot of fun! Stay tuned and check for more info soon.

Also, don’t forget that abstract submission is due soon (15 February). Hurry up, submit your poster on SCAR webpage, and see you all soon in Portland!

The NSF Office of Polar Programs is providing funds to support participation of U.S. scientists in the 5^th biennial SCAR Open Science Conference (meeting website:  http://scar2012.geol.pdx.edu/).  The Open Science Conference is an international and interdisciplinary meeting that brings together scientists of all ages from around the world with interests in Antarctica and the southern ocean. Funds are intended primarily to support early-career researchers, graduate students and individuals who would increase the diversity of the polar science community.  Current OPP Investigators with meeting travel funds included in their awards are not eligible for this travel support.

To apply for travel funds, download the application form from the U.S. SCAR web site:  http://usscar.tamu.edu/. Submit the completed application form together with your submitted OSC abstract to Terry Wilson (wilson.43@osu.edu) by March 15^th, 2012.

The Abstract Deadline for the OSC is February 15^th, 2012 – Submit soon!

The APECS Executive Committee 2011/2012 met for the first time in person two weeks ago in the city of Tromsø. The ExCom heads up APECS through leading action, strategy, and decision-making within APECS. Accordingly, the meeting days focused on planning for the upcoming APECS Director transition period as well as the future growth of APECS. This included many discussions about institutional knowledge transfer, hiring schedules, job descriptions, costs to be incurred, strategic plans, and many other administrative considerations. It might not all sound like an exciting job, but it was good experience for the ExCom members and hopefully will ensure smooth sailing for the rest of APECS in the coming years. And the Northern lights a few nights didn’t hurt either!

While in Tromsø, the ExCom also took the opportunity to meet with local partners and advisors including the Arctic Council Secretariat, University of Tromsø administrators, Norwegian Polar Institute, ARCTOS, IASC, the High North Academy, and the APECS Norge Board of Directors. Look out for more collaborations with these folks in the future!

Moving into 2012, the ExCom is really excited that we all got the chance to meet in person! The main takeaway from the meeting is that we want to do all we can to make sure that APECS continues to move both move forwards and innovate. APECS has earned itself a worldwide reputation as THE organization for young polar researchers, and the ExCom will make sure we do all we can to sustain APECS.

hei all,
great to see this activity re social sciences!!
could i just ask something from all of you: please please please do not abbreviate social sciences to ss! i'm sure the other germans understand me here, seeing this acronym used always brings up bad associations and it makes me cringe every time. so please, find some other way to shorten social sciences...
thanks, geli

> I believe we could start the planning right now, and maybe we should be ambitious about this. During the last week I've been thinking why social scientists are not massive members of APECS. As we know, the Arctic ethnology, for exemple, is a huge field of research. However, we don't see many ethnologists in our group. Why? Well I was wondering a answer and I got this: the main topic on Arctic ethnology are the interethnical relations between indigenous people and westerners (embodied almost ever in the science practioners). This is, as we also know, a very complex problem of research, politics and morals. In this "game" scientists are seen most of the times as the representatives of the Westerns worldview, which is responsible for silencing the indigenous worldview. As we are a Association of young Scientists I believe ethnologists avoid to be understood as members of the group they believe is responsible for the problems involved in interethnic relations.
> Another important point: SS from sociology, political sciences and anthropology do not take for granted the idea of Polar Sciences. For us it is a very construction of the twenty century. So, Polar Sciences is, in fact our object of study, not (just) your professional environment. That's why what may be understood as information about Polar Sciences by non-SStist, for us can be data! In the same sense, I believe many SSists do not joined APECS yet because they don't want to mix up their object of study and their field work place. For them, as I felt along some conversations within SPRI, it is not a simple question to assume the identiy of Polar Researcher, as it could be among non-SSists.
> In this sense, I would like to hear from you about these considerations. After this, I would like to propose the invitation of two experts on "Polar SS" to present a webinar with this themes. I think it would be very good for our group and for other scientists interested to learn about our production on them (and indigenous people, logistics operators, tourists and so on). I believe these webinars, if accepted by the group, should be reflexive on Polar Sciences, so we could clarify for members and potential members how flexible our association is, regarding the terms Polar and Scientists. Yes,  we can be a member and not consider ourselves scientists (since there is a huge debate about if some SS are or are not Sciences at all) or even Polar Scientists (since "Polar" is our object of study). APECS, in this sense can be seen as a massive web database, since it highlight many social relations among scientists, their worldviews, their activities, the way they contruct their identity as "polars" and so on...
> So, I was planning to invite Dr. Michael Bravo to present a webinar. I would stimulate him to lecture about: "Polar Sciences: a construction of twentieth century and a object of study of social sciences" or something like "Polar Sciences: why yes? Why not?"

Such a group is very interesting from a SS point of view and their possible debates are, for us, social scientists, data on geopolitics of science, flow of data, fluxes of people through lenguages and so on. So, for me it is absolutelly important that our SS group get involved on this. However, I believe that a meeting like this (VPS or DOM), if it happens, must be understood as a separate thing from SS DOM.

Abstract: The Arctic marine ecosystem contains multiple elements that present alternative states. The most obvious of which is an Arctic Ocean largely covered by an ice sheet in summer versus one largely devoid of such cover. Ecosystems under pressure typically shift between such alternative states in an abrupt, rather than smooth manner, with the level of forcing required for shifting this status termed threshold or tipping point. Loss of Arctic ice due to anthropogenic climate change is accelerating, with the extent of Arctic sea ice displaying increased variance at present, a leading indicator of the proximity of a possible tipping point. Reduced ice extent is expected, in turn, to trigger a number of additional tipping elements, physical, chemical, and biological, in motion, with potentially large impacts on the Arctic marine ecosystem.

hei all,
great to see this activity re social sciences!!
could i just ask something from all of you: please please please do not abbreviate social sciences to ss! i'm sure the other germans understand me here, seeing this acronym used always brings up bad associations and it makes me cringe every time. so please, find some other way to shorten social sciences...
thanks, geli

> I believe we could start the planning right now, and maybe we should be ambitious about this. During the last week I've been thinking why social scientists are not massive members of APECS. As we know, the Arctic ethnology, for exemple, is a huge field of research. However, we don't see many ethnologists in our group. Why? Well I was wondering a answer and I got this: the main topic on Arctic ethnology are the interethnical relations between indigenous people and westerners (embodied almost ever in the science practioners). This is, as we also know, a very complex problem of research, politics and morals. In this "game" scientists are seen most of the times as the representatives of the Westerns worldview, which is responsible for silencing the indigenous worldview. As we are a Association of young Scientists I believe ethnologists avoid to be understood as members of the group they believe is responsible for the problems involved in interethnic relations.
> Another important point: SS from sociology, political sciences and anthropology do not take for granted the idea of Polar Sciences. For us it is a very construction of the twenty century. So, Polar Sciences is, in fact our object of study, not (just) your professional environment. That's why what may be understood as information about Polar Sciences by non-SStist, for us can be data! In the same sense, I believe many SSists do not joined APECS yet because they don't want to mix up their object of study and their field work place. For them, as I felt along some conversations within SPRI, it is not a simple question to assume the identiy of Polar Researcher, as it could be among non-SSists.
> In this sense, I would like to hear from you about these considerations. After this, I would like to propose the invitation of two experts on "Polar SS" to present a webinar with this themes. I think it would be very good for our group and for other scientists interested to learn about our production on them (and indigenous people, logistics operators, tourists and so on). I believe these webinars, if accepted by the group, should be reflexive on Polar Sciences, so we could clarify for members and potential members how flexible our association is, regarding the terms Polar and Scientists. Yes,  we can be a member and not consider ourselves scientists (since there is a huge debate about if some SS are or are not Sciences at all) or even Polar Scientists (since "Polar" is our object of study). APECS, in this sense can be seen as a massive web database, since it highlight many social relations among scientists, their worldviews, their activities, the way they contruct their identity as "polars" and so on...
> So, I was planning to invite Dr. Michael Bravo to present a webinar. I would stimulate him to lecture about: "Polar Sciences: a construction of twentieth century and a object of study of social sciences" or something like "Polar Sciences: why yes? Why not?"
> Also, I believe it would be very good if we could have a webinar on "Arctic Ethnology: a teorethical and historical summary". I would suggest Professor Piers Vitebsky or Dr. Janne Flora for such. All of thm are from SPRI (as Dr. Michael Bravo)

Such a group is very interesting from a SS point of view and their possible debates are, for us, social scientists, data on geopolitics of science, flow of data, fluxes of people through lenguages and so on. So, for me it is absolutelly important that our SS group get involved on this. However, I believe that a meeting like this (VPS or DOM), if it happens, must be understood as a separate thing from SS DOM.

we use the abbreviation in Spanish: CCSS = Ciencias Sociales = Social Sciences

hei all,
great to see this activity re social sciences!!
could i just ask something from all of you: please please please do not abbreviate social sciences to ss! i'm sure the other germans understand me here, seeing this acronym used always brings up bad associations and it makes me cringe every time. so please, find some other way to shorten social sciences...
thanks, geli

> I believe we could start the planning right now, and maybe we should be ambitious about this. During the last week I've been thinking why social scientists are not massive members of APECS. As we know, the Arctic ethnology, for exemple, is a huge field of research. However, we don't see many ethnologists in our group. Why? Well I was wondering a answer and I got this: the main topic on Arctic ethnology are the interethnical relations between indigenous people and westerners (embodied almost ever in the science practioners). This is, as we also know, a very complex problem of research, politics and morals. In this "game" scientists are seen most of the times as the representatives of the Westerns worldview, which is responsible for silencing the indigenous worldview. As we are a Association of young Scientists I believe ethnologists avoid to be understood as members of the group they believe is responsible for the problems involved in interethnic relations.
> Another important point: SS from sociology, political sciences and anthropology do not take for granted the idea of Polar Sciences. For us it is a very construction of the twenty century. So, Polar Sciences is, in fact our object of study, not (just) your professional environment. That's why what may be understood as information about Polar Sciences by non-SStist, for us can be data! In the same sense, I believe many SSists do not joined APECS yet because they don't want to mix up their object of study and their field work place. For them, as I felt along some conversations within SPRI, it is not a simple question to assume the identiy of Polar Researcher, as it could be among non-SSists.
> In this sense, I would like to hear from you about these considerations. After this, I would like to propose the invitation of two experts on "Polar SS" to present a webinar with this themes. I think it would be very good for our group and for other scientists interested to learn about our production on them (and indigenous people, logistics operators, tourists and so on). I believe these webinars, if accepted by the group, should be reflexive on Polar Sciences, so we could clarify for members and potential members how flexible our association is, regarding the terms Polar and Scientists. Yes,  we can be a member and not consider ourselves scientists (since there is a huge debate about if some SS are or are not Sciences at all) or even Polar Scientists (since "Polar" is our object of study). APECS, in this sense can be seen as a massive web database, since it highlight many social relations among scientists, their worldviews, their activities, the way they contruct their identity as "polars" and so on...
> So, I was planning to invite Dr. Michael Bravo to present a webinar. I would stimulate him to lecture about: "Polar Sciences: a construction of twentieth century and a object of study of social sciences" or something like "Polar Sciences: why yes? Why not?"
> Also, I believe it would be very good if we could have a webinar on "Arctic Ethnology: a teorethical and historical summary". I would suggest Professor Piers Vitebsky or Dr. Janne Flora for such. All of thm are from SPRI (as Dr. Michael Bravo)

Such a group is very interesting from a SS point of view and their possible debates are, for us, social scientists, data on geopolitics of science, flow of data, fluxes of people through lenguages and so on. So, for me it is absolutelly important that our SS group get involved on this. However, I believe that a meeting like this (VPS or DOM), if it happens, must be understood as a separate thing from SS DOM.
