CATCH Newsletter: October 2017 View this email in your browser CATCH is an emerging activity focused on chemistry, biology and physics in cold regions, sponsored by IGAC Frost flowers on a refrozen open lead during N-ICE 2015 in the Arctic sea ice zone North of Svalbard (photo: M.M. Frey, British Antarctic Survey) Introducing the CATCH Logo Our mission is to facilitate atmospheric chemistry research within the international community, with a focus on natural processes specific to cold regions of the Earth. Our new logo highlights the diversity of cold regions, which include areas which are seasonally or permanently covered by snow and ice, from the high mountains to the polar ice sheets and sea ice zones as well as regions where ice clouds that undergo chemistry are found. You can find our logo in this newsletter and on the CATCH website.  Where to Find CATCH Science AGU Fall Meeting 11 - 15 December 2017 in New Orleans, USA Relevant Sessions Include: Tropospheric Composition in Cold Environments: Sources, Processes and Impacts I & II (A13O/A11K) Polar Atmospheric Processes and Their Interactions with the Land, Ice, and Ocean Surface I & II  (A54D/A51E) 14th Physics and Chemistry of Ice Conference 8 - 12 January 2018 in Zürich, Switzerland Link to conference program Registration closes 30 November 2017 - Register here!

Thomas, Michael Tjernström This session is intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum to bring together researchers working in the area of boundary layer processes and high-latitude weather and climate (including snow physics, air/snow chemistry, and oceanography). Cryosphere and Atmospheric Chemistry processes (the focus of CATCH) are highly relevant to this session. We invite contributions e.g. in the following areas:  Observations and research on the energy balance, physical and chemical exchange processes, and atmosphere-ocean-ice (AOI) interactions including particle sources. Results from high-elevation sites where similar processes occur over snow and ice. Field programs, laboratory studies and observational studies (including remote sensing). Model studies and reanalyses. Advances in observing technology. External controls on the boundary layer such as clouds, aerosols, radiation. Teleconnections between the polar regions and mid-latitudes resulting in effects related to atmosphere-ice-ocean interactions as well as insights provided by monitoring of water vapor isotopes that shed light on air mass origins. Halogens in the Troposphere (AS3.21) Convener: Alfonso Saiz-Lopez Co-conveners: Ulrich Platt, Rolf Sander, Nicole Bobrowski Evidence is accumulating that reactive halogen species can have an important influence on the chemistry of the lower and the free troposphere. We invite contributions in the following areas dealing with halogens on local, regional, and global scales: Model studies: Investigations of the chemical mechanisms leading to release, transformation and removal of reactive halogen species in the troposphere. Studies of consequences of the presence of reactive halogen species in the troposphere. Laboratory studies: Determination of gas- and aqueous-phase rate constants, Henry's law and uptake coefficients, UV/VIS spectra, and other properties of reactive halogen species. Field experiments and satellite studies: Measurements of inorganic (X, XO, HOX, XONO2, ..., X = Cl, Br, I) and organic (CH3Br, CHBr3, CH3I, RX, ...) reactive halogen species and their fluxes in the troposphere with in situ and remote sensing techniques. Measurements and model studies of the abundance of (reactive) halogen species in volcanic plumes and transformation processes and mechanisms. All aspects of tropical tropospheric halogens and links to (O)VOCs: their chemistry, sources and sinks, and their impact on local, regional, and global scales. Contributions reporting results from recent major field campaigns such as Climate and Halogen Reactivity Tropical Experiment (CHARLEX), Tropical Ocean tRoposphere Experiment of Reactive halogen species and OVOCs (TORERO), and Reactive Halogens in the Marine Boundary Layer (RHaMBLe) and SOLAS related activities are particularly encouraged.

Hi PYRN and APECS,

We will be very thanksfull if you can spread the words among your associations about this project and volunteers needed during Student Day at ArcticChange 2017.

Have a great day,

Gwen

ASA President

Hello ArcticNet Student Researchers,

We are excited to see you all at the upcoming Arctic Change meeting in Quebec City next month! As a part of Student Day on Monday we will have youth from several local high schools joining us.

To take full advantage of this opportunity, we are looking for volunteer mentors to guide a small group of high school youth through the morning plenaries and talks.  We are seeking both French and English speaking volunteers. We also encourage volunteers to share their own research with their group, as well as answer any questions the group may have.

In addition, if you are based in Quebec City we are looking for a few volunteers to visit the schools during the week before Student Day to help the participating high school students to prepare for Student Day. We know this will be a great opportunity to inspire future Arctic scientists!

If you are interested in mentoring a group, please email Kate (ASA Education and Outreach Coordinator) at macmillk@myumanitoba.

Please also indicate if you are available to visit one of the high schools during the week of Dec 4th.  

Best,

Your ArcticNet Student Association Executive Committee.

Étudiants chercheurs ArcticNet,

Nous avons très hâte de vous voir à Québec le mois prochain pour la rencontre Arctic Change! Dans le cadre de la journée étudiante de lundi, des jeunes de plusieurs écoles secondaires des environs se joindront à nous.

Pour profiter pleinement de cette occasion, nous sommes à la recherche de mentors bénévoles pouvant accompagner des groupes de jeunes du secondaire pendant les plénières et présentations de l'avant-midi. Nous cherchons des bénévoles maîtrisant le français et/ou l'anglais. Nous encourageons également les bénévoles à partager leur recherche avec leur groupe et à répondre à leurs questions. De plus, nous espérons que des bénévoles basés à Québec puissent visiter les écoles secondaires la semaine précédant la conférence Arctic Change afin de préparer les participants pour la journée étudiante. Nous croyons qu'il s'agit d'une superbe occasion pour inspirer nos futurs chercheurs de l'Arctique!

Si vous êtes intéressé à être un mentor pour des jeunes du secondaire, communiquer avec Kate (Coordonatrice à l'éducation et à l'intégration de l'Association étudiante ArcticNet) à macmillk@myumanitoba. SVP indiquer si vous êtes disponible pour visiter une des écoles secondaires pendant la semaine du 4 décembre.

Au plaisir,

Le comité exécutif de votre association étudiante ArcticNet
