Conference organizers for the 2nd Arctic in Rapid Transition (ART) Science Workshop announce that registration and abstract submission is available. The meeting will be convened 21-24 October 2014 in Brest, France. This year's conference is entitled "Integrating Spatial and Temporal Scales in the Changing Arctic System: Towards Future Research Priorities."
This international workshop aims at discussing the integration of spatial and temporal scales to better understand the changing Arctic system as a whole, by including various Arctic research fields such as physical oceanography, sea-ice, biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems functioning, marine biodiversity, land-ocean interactions, ocean-atmosphere exchanges and ocean acidification, paleo-reconstruction and biological archives, and social sciences. Results of this workshop feed into the larger ICARP III (3rd International Conference on Arctic Research Planning) meeting in Toyama, Japan in April 2015 (http://icarp.arcticportal.org/).
Limited funding will be available for early career scientists. Abstract submission and registration are now open. The amount of space is limited, and conference organizers request that those interested register and submit an abstract as soon as possible, via the webform link available at: http://istas.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/2.
