SUMMARY:CCfCS event: Panel discussion on IPCC special reports
DESCRIPTION:“Over the last decades\, global warming has led to widespread shrinking of the cryosphere\, with mass loss from ice sheets and glaciers (very high confidence)\, reductions in snow cover (high confidence) and Arctic sea ice extent and thickness (very high confidence)\, and increased permafrost temperature (very high confidence).” \n“Land provides the principal basis for human livelihoods and well-being including the supply of food\, freshwater and multiple other ecosystem services\, as well as biodiversity. Human use directly affects more than 70% (likely 69-76%) of the global\, ice-free land surface (high confidence). Land also plays an important role in the climate system.” \nIf you would like to hear more about the recent IPCC special reports on Oceans and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate and Climate change and Land Use\, come to our panel discussion on Thursday 28 November. You will hear short summaries of the reports and join in the debate. \nYou can find the report on Climate Change and Land here\, and the report on the Ocean and Cryosphere here. \nSchedule: \n1:00—2.45 pm: Summaries and panel discussion. Bring your questions! \n2.45 pm: Cake and refreshments \nPanel members: \nPete Smith: Coordinating lead author on the land report. \nSpeaker tbc : Land report \nEric Wolff: Royal Society Research Professor working on ice cores and past Climate \nMike Meredith: Coordinating lead author of Oceans and Cryosphere report. \nSanna Markkanen: Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership working on climate policy and financing sustainable infrastructure. \nThis is a free event\, but due to space limitations registration is essential. Registration is available through the CCfCS website.

SUMMARY:Sounds of Space
DESCRIPTION:‘Sounds of Space’ – an art-science collaboration \n\n\nJoin British Antarctic Survey space weather scientist Nigel Meredith\, artist-engineer Diana Scarborough and dancers Becky Byers and Felix Denton on a science-inspired journey of off-world sounds at the Cambridge Festival of Ideas\n \n\n\nThis FREE event includes an introduction to the ‘sounds of space’\, an immersive new performance blending animation\, space ‘sounds’\, music and contemporary dance\, and a panel discussion with Q&A. \n\nThe performance will take place on Friday 25th October at 7:00 pm at Storey’s Field Centre\, Eddington. Tickets are free\, but reservations are required – so if you’d like to come along please book here: https://www.festivalofideas.cam.ac.uk/events/sounds-space. \n \n\nA variety of radio emissions are produced naturally on Earth and on other bodies throughout the solar system and beyond. These cannot be heard directly\, but conversion to sound reveals a series of weird and wonderful noises known as the ‘sounds of space’. Our performance is designed to celebrate the beauty\, wonder and context of these amazing\, natural sounds.\nJoin us and embark on a visual and audio journey from Halley\, Antarctica to beyond the galaxy! \nAbout the presenters \nDr Nigel Meredith is a space weather scientist at British Antarctic Survey. He uses satellite data to develop global models of plasma waves in near Earth space for input into radiation belt codes and\, ultimately\, to forecast space weather. \nDiana Scarborough is an artist-engineer whose multimedia practice is cross-discipline and collaborative. She takes inspiration from research that embraces concepts of data\, code\, sound\, archival history\, technology and environmental concerns and rephrases them from an art perspective.

SUMMARY:FRISP 2019: Forum for Research into Ice Shelf Processes
DESCRIPTION:Final information for participants\nConference programme\nMap of The Queen’s College \nAbout FRISP\nFRISP is an annual meeting to share research related to ice shelves\, and their interactions with the ice sheet\, ocean\, and atmosphere. It is an Expert Group of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)\, and has organised regular meetings in Europe since 1984. FRISP is an appropriate meeting to present work in progress and discuss emerging research ideas\, and is well-suited to early career researchers as well as senior scientists. \nFRISP 2019\nFRISP 2019 will begin on the evening of 15 September (Sunday) with an icebreaker and dinner\, and will conclude with lunch on 18 September (Wednesday). Please aim to arrive in Oxford no later than 5pm on Sunday. \nThe conference will be followed by the annual meeting of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) from Wednesday afternoon to Thursday evening. This meeting is intended for those already involved in the ITGC project; however\, FRISP-only attendees are welcome to stay for the Wednesday afternoon sessions\, subject to space in the auditorium. Similarly\, ITGC-only attendees who arrive early may attend the Wednesday morning sessions of FRISP if there is space. Since there will be a number of participants attending both conferences\, we encourage you to register early and secure your spot. \nVenue\nPhoto: with special thanks to the Provost and Fellows of The Queen’s College \nThis year\, FRISP will be held at The Queen’s College at the University of Oxford. Oxford is frequently named one of the most beautiful cities in the UK\, with medieval buildings and riverside parks\, as well as a rich scientific and literary history. We are hoping to organise a walking tour of Oxford on the Sunday evening of the conference\, so that attendees can appreciate the sights. \nThe Queen’s College was founded in 1341 and is centrally located on the High Street. Conference sessions\, meals\, and accommodation will all be provided within the college grounds. Most rooms are single ensuite\, while a small number of shared rooms will be reserved for students due to their reduced price. In the evenings\, the on-site Beer Cellar pub is available for the exclusive use of FRISP attendees. \nRegistration & fees\nRegistration for FRISP is via Eventbrite and is combined with registration for the ITGC meeting. The registration fee for FRISP includes conference attendance\, accommodation\, and meals\, and has two ticket types: \n\nstandard registration is £500 plus booking fees;\nreduced registration for students who choose shared accommodation is £450 plus booking fees.\n\nStudents are also eligible to apply for a partial scholarship from SCAR. Each scholarship will be approximately $100-$200 (£75-£150 at the current exchange rate) and will be paid directly from SCAR to the student. Scholarship applications are within the registration form; you must pay the registration fee to secure your place\, and will be reimbursed later if your application is successful. \nIf you are also attending the ITGC meeting\, you can register for both conferences at the same time. \nAbstract submission\nWe encourage all attendees to present at FRISP (either a poster or an oral presentation)\, but it is not required. Abstract submission itself will be done through a separate form\, and does not have to be completed at the same time as registration. \nTransport\nParticipants must make their own way to Oxford. We can suggest the following services: \nFrom Heathrow Airport: \n\nThe Airline express coach: approx. 1.5 hours\, £30 return\n\nFrom Gatwick Airport: \n\nThe Airline express coach: 2-2.5 hours\, £37 return\n\nFrom central London: \n\nX90 express coach: approx. 1h 40min\, £14 return\nOxford Tube express coach: approx. 1h 40min\, £15 return\nTrain from Paddington Station: approx. 1 hour\, ticket prices vary\nTrain from Marylebone Station: 1-1.5 hours\, ticket prices vary\n\nAll coaches stop on High Street directly opposite the entrance to the college. The Oxford train station is a 20 minute walk from the college\, with public transport options available. Parking is extremely limited in central Oxford\, so we do not recommend that you drive. \nContact\n2019 organising committee: Peter Davis\, Kaitlin Naughten\, Christopher Bull\nContact email: frisp2019@bas.ac.uk\nIf there is anything preventing you from attending FRISP\, such as childcare responsibilities\, please let us know and we’ll see if there’s anything we can do to help.
