We would kindly like to invite you to submit your work to the Special Issue "Progresses and Gaps on Monitoring of Snow and Its Components at the Local, Regional to Global Scale and Its Applications" we organized at the Geosciences: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/geosciences/special_issues/snow_Monitoring

"Frontiers in Earth Science" has launched a new Research Topic, "Ice Sheet Shear Margins in Warming Climate: Process and Trends".
As a leading expert in your field, we would like you to participate by submitting your research.

We are pleased to announce the release of the Open Global Glacier Model (OGGM) version 1.4. OGGM is an open source modelling framework for glaciers, targeting the simulation of large numbers of mountain glaciers.

‘Understanding the Rules of Life’ solicitation explores emergent networks, invites proposals.
Intertwined networks connect living things in profoundly complex and oftentimes unexpected ways. From individual cells and organisms to entire ecosystems and industries, the emergence of such networks is the focus of the Understanding the Rules of Life: Emergent Networks solicitation calling for research proposals from a broad range of scientific disciplines.

NOAA@NSIDC is pleased to announce the release of sea ice chart data resulting from collaboration with the U.S. National Ice Center (USNIC) called the U.S. National Ice Center Arctic and Antarctic Sea Ice Concentration and Climatologies in Gridded Format.

The Robert G. Raskin Scholarship is awarded annually to a current graduate, post-graduate student in the Earth or computer sciences who has an interest in community evolution of Earth science data systems.

NSF is looking for proposals to initiate industry-university cooperative research centers to address issues in the Arctic that have interest from potential industry and other governmental partners.

For more details, see NSF Dear Colleague Letter and solicitation NSF-20-570.

The Swiss Polar Institute (SPI) Flagship Initiative programme, enabling ambitious Swiss-led multi-annual and multi-disciplinary research programmes in polar or remote high-altitude regions, has just been launched. 

The funding will be focused on field campaigns (logistics, safety, etc.), data management, outreach, and programme coordination, thus providing temporary infrastructure for a Swiss-led polar research programme. 

Framed by the overarching theme for the Science Conference “The Arctic: Regional Changes, Global Impacts”, Lisbon invites International experts on the Arctic and Indigenous Peoples to discuss the “New Arctic” and also its impacts and interactions to and with the lower latitudes at ASSW2021 Online.
