ICED scientists were invited to attend this workshop focused on climate change and monitoring in the Southern Ocean. The workshop report was presented to the CEP XIX meeting in Santiago which endorsed all of the recommendations. Further engagement of ICED scientists with the CEP and SC-CAMLR was strongly encouraged, recognising the relevance of ICED science to their work across a range of conservation and management issues. Find out more about this workshop.
This Imbizo is being held in Trieste, Italy. The theme is 'Marine and human systems: Addressing multiple scales and multiple stressors'. ICED is convening one of the workshops Integrated modelling to support assessment and management of marine social-ecological systems in the face of global change. Find out more about this IMBIZO.
This symposium is being held in Barcelona, Spain. ICED scientists will participate in this interdisciplinary workshop. ICED links with SCAR, in particular AnT-ERA, will be strengthened through our involvement in this activity which follows directly on from and complemented the ICED Workshop on Southern Ocean Food webs and Scenarios of Change, British Antarctic Survey, November 2013 (see below).
This workshop was held at the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, UK. The theme was 'The response of pteropods to ocean acidification and climate change'. More information can be found here.
This conference brought together all areas of Antarctic research. Global messages of change and how these are likely to affect the rest of the world were presented. ICED jointly hosted a session with Ant-ERA and AntClim21 entitled "Impact of climate change on Antarctic biota".
ICED convened a session entitled "Detecting, projecting and managing the impacts of change in Southern Ocean ecosystems". This meeting provided a synthesis of a range of topics related to marine biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem response to global change, and prediction of the effects on the Earth System and human society. Find out more about this session.
ICED held a 'Krill Fishery Stakeholder' workshop in June 2014 at WWF's Living Planet Centre that focused on understanding the objectives for krill fishing and conservation in the Scotia Sea and the Antarctic Peninsula region. A paper submitted to WG-EMM summarises the preliminary outcomes of the workshop. The full workshop report can be downloaded here. Another output of the workshop is a set of Krill FAQs on the CCAMLR website.
The outputs from this workshop will be posted on this website soon.
Links to outputs from this meeting will be posted here soon.
We held a workshop at the Helmholtz Office in Brussels for members of the European Commission's DG Research. Download our Summary and Conclusions.
The main output was a Strategy for European polar marine ecosystem research. Download our Strategy.
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'. Find out more about this conference.
ESSAS (Ecosystem Studies of Sub-Arctic Seas) lead 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 was held as one of the official events related to Expo-2012. This workshop compared and contrasted 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. Find out more about this conference.
ICED sponsored a workshop developing the Southern Ocean Sentinel Monitoring programme entitled 'Southern Ocean Ecosystem Change and Future Projections' in May 2012 in Hobart. This workshop focussed on the state of our knowledge of Southern Ocean food webs and how these might change in the future.
ICED scientists co-convened 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 focussed on advances in research in polar marine ecosystems, particularly those relating to IPY. Find out more about this conference.
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. Find out more about this conference.
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. Find out more about this conference and details of the ICED session.
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. Find out more about this conference.
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. Find out more about this workshop.
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.
ICED held a circumpolar foodweb modelling workshop in April 2008. The report and poster summarise the workshop and preliminary outcomes.
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. Please read a summary of the session and the abstracts of the presentations.
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. The workshop outcomes have been collated and form the basis for the ICED Science Plan and Implementation Strategy (available to download from our homepage).
