Advances in Polar Science vol 32 cover

The journal Advances in Polar Science is inviting people to submit manuscripts to their special issue entitled “Observations and simulations of Greenland ice sheet melting”.

Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is the second largest ice sheet on Earth, with a global sea level equivalence of around seven meters. Under current global warming, GrIS is experiencing rapid ice mass loss due to various processes such as accelerated ice flow, calving of tide-water glaciers, enhanced supraglacial hydrology, darkening of ice sheet surface and cloud-snow-radiation interactions, etc. These processes can lead to either a stable mass loss or abrupt change of ice sheet under the scenarios of future climate change. We welcome the submission of manuscripts on the following but not limited to topics:

  1. Recent monitoring system on GrIS with advanced techniques;
  2. Interactions of GrIS with atmosphere and ocean (including sea ice);
  3. Surface mass balance observation, reconstruction and modeling;
  4. Ice flow dynamics, ice discharge estimation and global sea level contribution;
  5. GrIS hydrology and other processes that may trigger ice sheet instabilities.

APS is an international, peer-reviewed and open-access journal sponsored by the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC) and Chinese Society for Oceanography. Since 2015, APS has become more truly international, and been improving, with its inclusion in Scopus in May of 2020, with the appointments of two new Co-Editors-in-Chief (Dr. Huigen Yang and Dr. Ad H.L. Huiskes), and a new expert team of 38 disciplinary editors. Articles published on APS are free of charge with generous funding from PRIC.

This special issue on “Observations and Simulations of Greenland Ice Sheet Melting” will be released as a general issue of APS (Volume 34, Issue 3) in September of 2023. As this will be a scheduled special issue of APS, there will be strict adherence to the following deadlines.

  • 15 December 2022 — deadline for submitting titles of possible contributions;
  • 31 March 2023 — deadline for submitting a manuscript for this issue;
  • 15 July 2023 — deadline for submission of the final accepted paper;
  • September 2023 — publication date.

 

Length Limit

The limit extension of 15 printed pages (about 10000 words) for each paper.

If you are interested in this proposal, please send us or Editorial Office () a tentative title and the name of all possible co-authors (see Feedback Sheet). The submitted manuscripts will be subject to a full peer-review process (through the Editorial Office and the Manuscripts Online System). The guidelines for the format of papers can be found at its new website (http://aps.chinare.org.cn or http://aps.pric.org.cn, possibly available in June 2022). You can know a bit more on APS from its Flyer.

Northern Youth Forum

The Northern Youth Forum (NYF) is a youth wing of the Northern Forum, consisting of representatives of young people from the age of 16 to 40 years.

Mission of the NYF is to strengthen the spirit of trust and cooperation between young representatives of Northern regions and countries at the stage of personal and professional views’ formation.

Goal of the NYF is to promote the interests and views of young people in solving the problems facing the Northern Forum by using the potential of international youth cooperation.
