Join our scientists for an exciting evening full of Arctic Bubbles, where you can learn more about methane in a changing Arctic and how it impacts our climate!

Presenters

Guillaume Lamarche-Gagnon: “Are glaciers methane factories?”

Marie Stetzler: “Methane bubbles in the ocean – What’s all this fizz about?”

Vincent Carrier: “Cold seeps in the Arctic and its microbiology”

Freya Sykes: “The Secret Life of Globigerina bulloides”

Science stalls

After the presentations, join us for the science stalls set up by CAGE and AKMA project scientists and outreach educators with hands-on activities for everyone!

14^th September 2022  | Storgata Camping, Storgata 5

 Doors open 18:30 | Event 19:00-21:30

We would like to let you know that the abstract submission deadline has been extended to the 4^th July for the Methane in a Changing Arctic CAGE International Conference.

We look forward to seeing you in September.

We are able to support up to 5 presenting students (inc. PhD and ECR within 3 years of PhD completion) with a limited grant. The aim is to encourage new students and early career scientists to present at the conference and network with other more senior researchers. Up to 4,000 NOK per student can be applied for on a first-come-first-served basis. This grant can only be used to cover the registration fee, conference dinner (optional), flights (economy class), and accommodation.

Only students presenting talks or posters are eligible, and it will only be after you have presented that you can apply for a reimbursement of your expenses. Any additional expenses, or costs over the maximum value of the student support, must be covered by the participant.

 Please apply for this support using this Nettskjema by 18th June 2022.

We are pleased to announce that the registration and abstract submission forms are now open for the Methane in a Changing Arctic International Conference. This conference will be held in Tromsø, Norway between 14-16th September 2022.

We hope that you will consider submitting an abstract for one of our exciting sessions! To read more about the sessions here.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES

Abstract submission: 20th June 2022

Registration deadline: 14th August 2022

Between 14-16th September 2022, Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (CAGE) will host the ‘Methane in a Changing Arctic’ International Conference in Tromsø, Norway.

WHAT’S THE CONFERENCE ABOUT?

This conference aims to bring together scientists working on all aspects of Arctic methane and its role in the global carbon cycle. It will provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion and exchange of knowledge relating to our current understanding of these complex systems and their response to and impact on, the rapid environmental and climatic changes that characterise the Arctic.

CONFERENCE THEMES

The conference will address themes including the formation, storage, cycling, transport, release and budgets of methane through the Arctic geo-, hydro-, cryo- and atmosphere since the onset of Northern Hemisphere glaciation and towards the future. There will be a strong emphasis on integration of these themes, and we encourage all relevant contributions to the following topics:

Methane in the geosphere: subsurface thermogenic, (a-)biogenic and methane stores and sinks

Methane in the hydrosphere: methane processes and budgets in marine and lacustrine settings

Methane in the cryosphere: methane dynamics in ice sheets and permafrost

Methane in the atmosphere: methane source, sinks, and budget in the atmosphere

Microbial cycling of methane: the role of microbes in methane budgets

Past methane histories: past methane processes and budgets as analogues for future climate scenarios

REGISTRATION

The registration and abstract submission for this conference are now active!

Stay tuned for more and we hope to see you in September!

Best wishes,

Mariana Esteves, on behalf of the CAGE International Conference Organising committee
