The United Kingdom Polar Network (UKPN), the British branch of the
Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), announces the
second in their series of workshops for early career scientists and
researchers. Entitled "Arctic Marine Sciences Workshop," it will be
convened 12-13 October 2009 at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory in

Laboratory; Cynan Ellis-Evans, Arctic Office; Finlo Cottier, Scottish
Association of Marine Science; and Warwick Vincent, Laval University.
Other scientific sessions are being planned, and participants will also
be given the opportunity to work with experts in organizing outreach
activities, interacting with the media, and communicating science to
school children and the general public.
The goals of the workshop are to:
- Encourage discussion of interdisciplinary research and
exchange of ideas;
- Help initiate new collaborations;
- Promote arctic marine science and increase participants'
scientific knowledge;
