The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is accepting abstracts for the 2024 AGU Fall Meeting. This hybrid meeting will take place 9-13 December 2024 in Washington, D.C. and online.
The following sessions are accepting abstracts:
SESSION ED023: How to Aspire to and Leverage Equity and Inclusion among Polar and Alpine Scientists
Conveners: Mariama C. Dryák-Vallies, Alexandra Padilla, and Aixa Aleman-Diaz
The polar and alpine sciences encompass a diverse mix of disciplines and research areas with research being done all over the world, yet these fields and professions struggle to fully represent everyone, now and in the past. Accessibility to, as well as safety, equity, and inclusion within the polar science community are critical components for building research networks and work environments where everyone feels safe, can share who they are, are valued and productive. Many individuals, organizations, and subgroups are working to advance belonging, equity, inclusion, and accessibility to communities within the polar sciences. Conveners invite contributions that help us learn how to build an inclusive polar community as well as varied types of work and initiatives ranging from those raising awareness, sharing existing and new ideas or initiatives, celebrating best practices or lessons learned, and examining the challenges in in furthering progress in these areas for the polar sciences.

SESSION OS014: Drivers of Marine Ecosystem Change under Climate Warming Evaluated from Regional to Pan-Arctic Marine Observatories
Conveners: Lee Cooper, Jackie Grebmeier, and Christina Goethel
The Arctic Ocean is changing with warming and seasonal sea ice declines. Shifts in hydrography, primary productivity, carbon cycling, and trophic dynamics are being evaluated in established and emerging Arctic marine observing systems. A strong need exists to provide network coordination for this emerging observing system for Arctic ecosystems. Contributions are sought that describe results of standardized sampling at time-series sites that document status and trends. Contributions of continuous data observations from moorings, satellites and autonomous platforms are also welcome. A premise of this session is that coordination of seasonal and interannual hydrographic observations are needed to understand shifts in species composition, including northward range expansions into Arctic waters for temperate species and negative impacts for cryophilic species. Conveners expect that this session will highlight key physical drivers, and observed biogeochemical and biological ecosystem change to understand ecosystem status and trends in the Arctic system as affected by climate warming.
