Dear colleagues,
Please consider participating in the International Weddell Gyre Workshop which will take place on 17-19 September 2012 in Delmenhorst near Bremen, Germany.
We would welcome your contribution to this workshop, and hearing about your research in the Weddell Gyre.
Please see the
!!! FLYER !!! for more details.
Bringing together scientists studying the Weddell Gyre from different points of view, this workshop aims for yielding insights to the interplay between oceanography, bioproductivity and climate in present and past.
Contributors are invited from marine geology, from physical, chemical and biological oceanography and modellers; please submit a title for a talk or poster.
The amount of participants is bound to a maximum posed by the venue.
It would be great if you could forward this announcement to interested people.
We are looking forward meeting you in Delmenhorst.
With kind regards
Mario Hoppema, Walter Geibert

Dear Colleagues,
For the coming Antarctic season and the more distant future, the AWI Logistics team has developed a
project application form for the Neumayer station and land-based expeditions in Antarctica, we hereby wish to provide to all interested parties. It will help the Logistics of the AWI bundling requirements for future projects and required resources. This is only possible if we know about the impending season beyond desires and interests already. This request must be conducted by 15 May 2012. Find the form under "application" (see left) or open the document directly
HERE.
Sincerely,
the coordination team and Eberhard Kohlberg (AWI-Logistics)

Dear Colleagues,
After an admittedly somewhat longer silence, the SPP office is back to the digital world. In the meantime, as perhaps could be assumed, we did not made ourselves comfortable on the sun deck of a cruise ship. We have used the time to finish the report for the priority program’s period 2008-2012 and prepared the new application for continuation of the priority program “Antarctic Research” to the DFG. By last October, the submission of 49 project proposals and requested funding of almost € 10 million shows the importance of this priority program of the DFG for the German polar research and the demand of it by the German polar researchers. We would like to take this opportunity to say “Thank you” to the sub-coordinators, but also to those of you who helped us with their contributions for the report and the application.
In the meantime, we also sent a newsletter to nearly all of you. The newsletter is also available for all others under the Newsletter-link in PDF format.
Sincerely,
Martin and Oliver

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APPLICATION 2011,
From mid-October 2011, the DFG offers the possibility of electronic applications for research grants in modular form via the Internet System Elan.
THIS YEAR HOWEVER, FOR THE PRIORITY PROGRAMME ANTARCTIC RESEARCH THE APPLICATION PROCEDURES AFTER DFG FORM 1.02 OR 1.02e.
Here are the links:
DFG-VORDRUCK 1.02
DFG-VORDRUCK 1.02e
The applications are therefore submitted in accordance with invitation letter.
Regards,
the coordination team

Dear all,
a couple of days ago I sent you this reminder about the upcoming deadlines.
The deadline for the abstract submission for the conference in
Grenoble has been postponed to the 20th of July. This might give some
of you more time to submit an abstract.
Kind Regards, Jens Rößiger

Dear all,
let me remind you about the upcoming deadlines in the MicroDICE project.
1) The Ice deformation conference in Grenoble has an abstract submission deadline by July 1st.
We really encourage participants from other fields than ice, but that face similar scientific concerns! Please advertise in your research community / lab.
There will also be a session on extraterrestrial ice, that should be quite exiting!
Please have a look at the program, on the following site
http://microdice.eu/activities/ice-deformation-from-the-model-material-to-polar-ice/
Note that young researcher will be able to ask for funding.
Hoping to see you soon in Grenoble,
Maurine Montagnat, Convenor
2) Deadline for applications for workshops and short- and exchange visits: July 1st.

Dear colleagues,
for the next and future seasons, the logistics of the AWI presents a project application form for the Neumayer station and land-based expeditions in the Antarctic.
Here you can find the form

Dear all,
"Microdynamics of Ice (Micro-DICE)" is a Research Network Programme, funded for 5 years by the European Research Foundation. The programme funds conferences, sessions at conferences (like next EGU-meeting in Vienna) and especially workshops and short- and exchange visits.
Please check
http://microdice.eu to see calls for applications to fund workshops (about 8000 € per workshop) and travel grants, especially for students and young researchers. Next deadline is end of February, but calls will be repeated every few months.
Send an email to
info@microdice.eu if you want to be on the email list to keep informed of the latest activities.
The aim of Micro-DICE is to advance our knowledge of the dynamic behaviour of ice, based on the philosophy that:
The predictive value of (geophysical) models of ice behaviour under changing conditions relies on a correct description of ice properties.
Grain-scale processes (microstructure) strongly influence the properties of ice, and hence,
better understanding of dynamic grain-scale processes in ice is needed
Upcoming activities:
4 April: Session CR1.30 "Ice and its microstructure: commonalities and differences" at the EGU-Meeting, Vienna, Austria
8-11 May: Workshop on "Microdynamic Modelling of Ice and related materials", Glasgow, UK
7-9 November: Conference on "Ice deformation: from the model material to ice in natural environments", Grenoble, France
Please pass this information on to anyone who may be interested.
Many thanks, Paul Bons

Dear applicants
From the feedback to my Rundmail of 10 September to register for the coordination workshop , I could see that many of you are just coming back from the summer expeditions. For this reason, we have extended the registration period to 1 October. We hope that gives you the opportunity, to send a lot more of good applications.
Always fair winds and following seas
Your "ordinary seaman" Oliver

Dear colleagues,
after a longer break we are back with the new Internet pages of the priority programme. The revision was necessary, since the page size was not any longer sufficient. Additionally, the priority programme’s Internet pages were extended by an English version. The respective language is available via the flags at the right top. Currently, the “researchers link“ and the projects presented there will be reviewed. I am always happy to receive suggestions, how to make the websites even better and more informative.
Don't miss the 24th International Conference of the German Society for Polar research. We would like to welocme you from 6th to 10th September this year. More information can be found here:
http://imgi.uibk.ac.at/polartagung-2010/
Information regarding the coordination workshop (7th/8th October, Duesseldorf) will be presented soon.
Enjoy browsing our web site
Yours sincerly Oliver and Martin
