Ice Core Young Scientists (ICYS) is an informal, international network of early career scientists dedicated to the study of polar and alpine ice cores and ice core related science.
They will be meeting informally at the upcoming EGU meeting, and anybody who is interested, is welcome to join.
The Belmont Forum, a group of international science funders encouraging inter- and trans-disciplinary science, has released a call for proposals on Arctic Observing and Research for Sustainability.
The call seeks to bring together integrated teams to develop projects that utilize existing Arctic observing systems, datasets and models to evaluate key sustainability challenges and opportunities in the Arctic region.

The redesigned and renamed PAGES news is out now with an overview of the advances being made by natural archives when combined with modern analytical techniques, and a mini section exploring human impact on soils and sediment in Asia.
A new international study published in Nature Climate Change (Neukom et al. 2014 online) shows that temperature differences between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres in the last millenium were larger than previously thought. Using data derived by the Southern Hemisphere based PAGES 2k Working Groups (Australasian, South American, African and Antarctic), researchers found that most climate models are unable to satisfactorily simulate the considerable differences between the hemispheres.
A new online resource on ocean acidification has been launched bringing together new ocean acidification infographics, publications, background information, presentations and news for researchers, policymakers and the public: ocean-acidification.net
The website has been developed by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-UNESCO), the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and the Ocean Acidification International Coordination Center (OA-ICC) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER) project is soliciting nominations for membership of its Scientific Steering Committee (SSC).
The IMBER SSC is responsible for the development, planning and implementation of IMBER science and strategy.
Nominations close 21 April 2014.
