Hey RAC,

 

Alexey and I thought it would be great to organize another meeting time in Oslo, where all interested DCs can meet people from their discipline – another great way to connect disciplines better, and get to know people. I send in a request for a room for Wednesday the 9th of June now between 4-6pm. This was the only time I could make out as being an option form the tight Oslo schedule.

 

I want to ask you DCs now who of you might also be interested to join the call for participation for your discipline.

So far we have: Alexey and Loic – Marine Sciences, Kim – Terrestrial Sciences

Anybody of you is encouraged to join! This might also be a good opportunity to look for future DCs if you recognize you have to cut down on your APECS involvement.

Also all former DCs are encouraged to join :)

 

Looking forward to get some feedback from you.

Regards,

-Kim

Hi again, Kim,

 

I have just seen that (a) I didn’t reply to all your questions in your previous email, and (b) that the conference organisers have moved our SSAG plenary to 10 June.

So, I assume that I will be free on 11 June to participate in the RAC meeting. J  Sorry for the confusion.

I am also happy to participate in a discipline-focused meeting on 9 June.  I would be able to represent the (Antarctic) social sciences ... although I would not go as a DC (this would be Rosa’s job).

 

Finally, I forgot to say that it might be good to have a RAC call in May, although I am overcommitted as it stands and am not sure whether I could make a call in May.

It would depend on when it is ... my calendar is pretty full at the moment.

 

Cheers,

Daniela

Thanks for your feedback Daniela!

I should have probably done that already in the first email:

Please let us know your availability in the doodle poll for Mai, and we will then decide if and when to have a call :)

Hi Kim,

 

Sorry to bother you again, but are the times in the RAC doodle poll in GMT?

Did you know that you can use a setting, which allows every user to see the times in the time zone they are in?

Hey,

 

yes all in GMT.

I know the settings to get local times exist, but personally find them confusing (in case someone doesn’t recognize it), and rather stick to GMT.

Sorry, I keep forgetting to include the GMT notice all the time…

Hi All,
It's wonderful news!!!
Please, include me as a Climate Sciences. 
However I don't understand format of this event?
How we will work with folks? Maybe It's workshop's format or..?
Indeed I want to narrow my theme for it to "Modeling and applied mathematics methods in Climate Sciences" It will be actual for format this event? What do you think?

It nice hear all you after long winter!!!
Kim please, attract more DC to your discussions with Alexey and Loic.
Cheers,
Ivan

See you in Fairbanks,

Hi Ivan and all,

 

Our idea was to give people from different research fields also the possibility to meet in a group, but rather the general APECS meetings, where they might meet a few people form their discipline. Suc a meeting might open up the possibility to ask what people would be most interested in within a research field and the APECS structure for example. In policy maybe get feedback to the already existing email listserver, or get people motivated to help with a few projects of APECS, whatever you think might be mist important for your research field.

Research fields should rather be broad, not too narrowed down I think, for these purposes.

I hope we can get a room for Wednesday, I did not hear back yet from Asgeir. If not does anyone know of a good meeting point around the venue? As we will split up in groups anyways, we do not necessarily need a room I think.

 

Just thoughts so far, any ideas and input welcome!

 

I hope that explains our originating thoughts a little better?

 

Best greetings,

-Kim

Hi Kim,
 
do we have a list of APECS members registered for the conference? That may help to organise sub-groups for this in advance and see who will be there.
 
Cheers, Claudia

Hello again,

I believe that I will be able to attend this one, as well.

Thanks for being so active with organizing meetings!

I'm looking forward to meeting you in Oslo.

Best regards,
Jen

Hi all, as probably most of you expected unfortunately I won’t be joining the Oslo meeting as my baby is breastfeeding and thus complicated to leave him. I'm very keen though to be able to follow up on what comes out of it and notably for the social sciences. If you Daniela could do a meeting for the social sciences in general (not only Antarctic) and try to recruit some active people it would be fab. Also if there are people willing to get involved there is plenty to do within the SS. maybe we could meet on Skype sometime before the meeting to discuss some ideas.

 

Hope you have a great meeting in Oslo

Cheers Rosa

Hi Rosa,

Thanks for your email.
It's lovely to hear from you - what a pity that you cannot be in Oslo, but your reasons are very understandable.
I will be in Oslo for the whole time of the conference, but will be very busy with our session, a roundtable and a number of other meetings and side event. However, within the framework of the APECS DC meetings and Council meetings, I am happy to represent the Social Sciences and get together with other polar social scientists.
Everyone interested is also warmly invited to a SCAR Social Sciences Action Group panel discussion in the evening of 10 June (it's in the programme), which will focus on issues related to polar humanities and social science research. The discussions are meant to centre on values and the meaning of values in a polar context.

Cheers,

Daniela

Hi Daniela and Rosa,

What about having Suzanne and Emily more involved in the social science
folks group? We have more social scientist in our group then you'd think
;)...

The SCAR social science meeting sounds really interesting - I will try to
make it!(when not overlapping with the Polar data (PIC) meeting).

So nice to hear we will have a 'real team' together in Oslo.
-Kim

Hi, Suzanne, is that Suzanne Robinson? That would be grate! Who is Emily? Maybe we should try to get on a phone meeting before ?

Hi Kim and Rosa,

I would be delighted to get as many polar social scientists (AND those interested in interdisciplinary approaches and aspects of polar social science) as possible involved.

Cheers,
Daniela
