Join us for a dynamic two-day online workshop to advance the scientific planning of Antarctica InSync, an international initiative endorsed by the UN Ocean Decade. Aiming for a circumpolar assessment of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, the initiative explores the links between ice, ocean, climate, environment, life, and human pressures. This interactive event will connect researchers, early-career scientists, and institutions to discuss innovative methods and define shared research priorities.
To accommodate participants across diverse time zones and ensure broad global engagement, the webinar will take place over two days, with each session offering the same core content.
- 09 September 2025, 07:00–09:30 UTC
- 10 September 2025, 15:00–17:30 UTC ; Online – Free registration
🔍 What to Expect:
1.Opening plenary sessions introducing Antarctica InSync and outlining the workshop’s objectives
2. Breakout discussions focused on cutting-edge approaches including:
- Modelling and Artificial Intelligence
- Remote sensing
- Ship- and station-based observations
- Data systems and integration
3. Science theme discussions focused on major Antarctic research themes, including:
- Southern Ocean & Antarctic heat, freshwater, carbon & other elements cycles & their response to climate change
- Rapid sea ice decline and its causes and consequences
- Melting ice sheets and ice shelves and coastal impacts
- Improving knowledge and protection of the unique Antarctic life: from land to ocean and into the deep sea
- Anthropogenic signatures in Antarctica: the race against pollution and other pressures
- Aerosol-cloud interactions and radiative feedbacks
- Climate variability: from local weather and climate extremes to global teleconnections trough time
4. Synthesis session summarizing key outcomes and next steps for the international scientific strategy
This online workshop will lay the foundation for the international Antarctica InSync Science Plan.
