A kind reminder that the registration and abstract submission forms are now open (abstract deadline fast approaching, 20th June!) for the CAGE International Conference on Methane in a Changing Arctic. This conference will be held in Tromsø, Norway between 14-16th September 2022, and hosted by Centre for Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (CAGE), at UiT The Arctic University of 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. The Conference will have a strong emphasis on integration of these themes, and we encourage all relevant contributions to the following topics, which will form the conference sessions:
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
We also have two new sessions during the conference with a focus on:
Science and Art
Outreach and Education
