Field Schools Network
The APECS Field Schools Network aims to create a community of connected field schools concerned with the polar regions, the cryosphere, and climate change. All education levels are encouraged; most APECS members are undergraduate to postdoc, but schools designed for secondary students or early faculty are encouraged to participate as well. See below for a simple list of field school details, or check out the menu on the left to find out about APECS Field Schools, recurring field schools, and one-off field programs. All schools are tagged with 'Secondary,' 'Undergrad,' 'Postgrad,' and 'Postdoc' to show their intended audience - just search for those most applicable to you. Or, search 'grad' to get both Undergrad and Postgrad or 'post' to get both Postgrad and Postdoc.
Each school has commenting enabled to allow the APECS community to share their field school experiences - feel free to include links to photos and videos, too! More importantly, login to the site to see a list of past participants that you can contact!
If you have suggestions on how to stay better connected as a group and share experiences with other field school groups, or if you are an organizer of a field school and are interested in joining our network, please contact APECS Field Schools Coordinator Graham Simpkins.

8th UK Sea Ice Group Annual Meeting
13.00 Thursday 16 September to 16.30 on Friday 17 September 2010
Introduction
Recent climatic changes in the Arctic Ocean and an unprecedented rapid decline of Arctic sea ice cover, occurring during the last decade, are anticipated to impact regional and global climate, environment, marine industries, and society. Amongst the possible benefits of the change are the exploitation of natural resources and navigation, although those might be overwhelmed by negative impacts, as destabilised climate and ecosystems. To understand and predict Arctic Change is the pressing issue for sea ice researchers, oceanographers and climate modellers.
The UK Sea Ice Group
The sea ice research community in the UK includes some 60 researchers and numbers are growing. The community has internationally recognised professional expertise. The purpose of the UK Sea Ice Group (http://www.cpom.org/ukseaicegroup/) is to foster collaboration and exchange of ideas within the UK sea ice community and allied areas such as physical oceanography, marine biology, and climate modelling. The UK Sea Ice Group holds informal annual meetings, typically in the first half of September with the venue rotation between UK oceanographic centres.
The 2010 Meeting
The 8th UK Sea Ice Group meeting will take place at National Oceanography Centre Southampton (http://noc.ac.uk/) in Seminar Room 13 of the centre on Thursday 16th September and Friday 17th September 2010. The format of the meeting is two half-day sessions. The meeting will begin at 1 p.m. on the first day, finishing around 6.30 p.m. On the second day it will continue from 9 a.m. and will conclude at around 4.30 p.m. Time slots for informal discussions are allocated at the end of each day. Participants are cordially invited to attend the conference meal which will take place on Thursday 16th at 8.00 p.m. in the centrally located “Kuti’s Restaurant”, where a buffet will be offered.
The deadline for registration is Friday 2nd July 2010.
