- Upcoming ICED Meetings, Conference sessions and Workshops -
22-27 April 2012 - IPY 2012 Conference, Montreal, Canada
ICED scientists are co-convening the session '1.3.2 Polar marine ecosystems: status and change' within the Polar ecosystems, biodiversity and effects of human activities stream of Area 1. This multidisciplinary session will focus on advances in research in polar marine ecosystem, particularly those relating to IPY. Further details are available here.
7-11 May 2012 - ICED-Sentinel Workshop, Hobart, Australia
ICED are sponsoring a workshop developing the Southern Ocean Sentinel Monitoring programme entitled 'Southern Ocean Ecosystem Change and Future Projections' in early May 2012 in Hobart. This workshop will focus on the state of our knowledge of Southern Ocean food webs and how these might change in the future.
15-19 May 2012 - 2nd ICES/PICES/IOC International Symposium, Yeosu, Korea
ESSAS (Ecosystem Studies of Sub-Arctic Seas) will be leading a 1-day joint Workshop in Yeosu, Korea on Monday 14 May 2012 with input from ICED, in conjunction with the PICES/ICES Second International Symposium on "Effects of climate change on the world's oceans" that is being held as one of the official events related to Expo-2012. This workshop will compare and contrast what will happen to the Arctic/Subarctic for the Atlantic and Pacific sectors and the Antarctic regions, with a particular emphasis on the role of advection. Further details are available here.
16-25 July 2012 - XXXII SCAR Open Science Conference, Portland, Oregon, USA
ICED scientists are convening a session at this conference. The description of this session is: 'Understanding the response of Southern Ocean (SO) ecosystems to climate change and exploitation is crucial to management and understanding links with the Earth System. The sensitivity, contrasts and relatively simple ecological structure of the SO also provide a model system for developing globally applicable methods and early warnings of change. This multidisciplinary session encourages presentations on responses of SO species, food webs and ecosystems to past and current environmental and anthropogenic variability and change, and their likely response to scenarios of future change. Presentations highlighting the development of methodologies for projecting future responses of SO species and ecosystems to change, or that identify key gaps in knowledge and data that will improve studies and guide development of physical and biological observational and monitoring programmes are also welcomed. The session has been developed by the Integrating Climate and Ecosystem Dynamics in the Southern Ocean (ICED) programme'. Further details are available here.
- Past ICED Meetings, Conference sessions and Workshops -
15-17 November 2010 - EUR-OCEANS Foresight Workshop, Bremen, Germany
ICED scientists convened a EUR-OCEANS Foresight workshop on change in polar ecosystems. Emphasis was placed on strengthening and coordinating European research in this area. Further details are available here.
8-12 June 2010 - International Polar Year Science Conference, Oslo, Norway
ICED was launched during IPY and some of our members convened the session 'T3-8: Ecosystems of the Southern Ocean'. This multidisciplinary session focused on Southern Ocean ecosystem research and understanding the response of individual species, food webs and whole ecosystems to change. This session provided a forum for integrating ICED-IPY results with other relevant Southern Ocean studies, as well as with the broader IPY community. Further details of the conference can be found here and details of the ICED session can be found here.
8-11 June 2009 - New Frontiers in Southern Ocean Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research
This ICED sponsored workshop was held at Princeton University in June 2009. The overall objective of this scoping workshop was to facilitate interaction between the physical, biogeochemical, and ecosystem research communities to develop research strategies to resolve current limitations, gaps and discrepancies in our understanding and prediction of the Southern Ocean ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles and carbon uptake. For more information, see the meeting website here.
20-24 April 2009 - Southern Ocean Sentinel Workshop, Hobart, Australia
This workshop considered how to measure, assess and provide early-warning detection of climate change impacts on the Southern Ocean and how these could be used to signal future impacts on marine and other ecosystems elsewhere in the world. The Sentinel programme is developing as part of ICED and our members are involved in the development of the science plan, public outreach documents and a forthcoming special issue publication of the workshop. For further details please see the Sentinel website.
8-11 July 2008 - SCAR Conference - ICED Related Session
The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) held an Open Science Conference on "Polar Research - Arctic and Antarctic Perspectives in the International Polar Year", 8-11 July 2008 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The "Polar Marine Ecosystems: Status and Change" session will link research related to ICED with SO GLOBEC, CAML, and other relevant programmes.
16-18 April 2008 - ICED Foodweb Modelling workshop
ICED held a circumpolar foodweb modelling workshop in April 2008. The report is available here. This poster summarises the workshop and preliminary outcomes.
July 2006 - ICED SCAR Session
ICED held its first scientific session during the second Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Open Science Conference (OSC) in July 2006 in Hobart. The session was a great success with an interesting diversity of multidisciplinary presentations covering many of the themes central to ICED. A summary of the session is available - Download PDF. The abstracts of the presentations are also available to download here - Download PDF.
May 2005 - ICED Science Planning Workshop
To launch ICED, EUR-OCEANS, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), SCOR, IMBER and SO GLOBEC funded the first ICED Science Planning Workshop in May 2005, at the British Antarctic Survey, UK involving 34 participants from 14 countries. A summary of the workshop was published in the April 2006 issue of the International GLOBEC Newsletter - Download PDF. The workshop outcomes have been collated and form the basis for the ICED Science Plan and Implementation Strategy (available to download from our homepage).
