    Description: The theme of the 15th ICRSS is “Polar Regions in Transformation – Climatic Change and Anthropogenic Pressures”. Earth’s Polar Regions, including high mountain regions outside the high latitudes, feature cold-climate environments characterized by unique landscapes, biota, and processes. Many of these features and dynamics are Cryosphere-driven and either are already subject to or have the potential for fundamental and rapid changes in a warming world. The myriad of Earth observation technologies provide crucial tools to understand and quantify these changes. The 15th ICRSS in Potsdam is the largest in the conference series to date: About 100 registered participants come from 16 countries, demonstrating the true international character of this otherwise intimate but focused polar symposium. Together, with an engaged Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, we organized 10 scientific sessions with 61 oral and 38 poster presentations, covering nearly all fields of Cryosphere research as well as research on northern vegetation and polar oceanography. The symposium program will be headlined by an exciting set of 7 keynote speakers highlighting the scientific frontiers in our research fields.

    Description: Ce projet est né en octobre 2015 avec une idée de fou: préparer et soumettre une demande de financement pour un projet de vulgarisation scientifique international, multidisciplinaire et non traditionnel… le tout en 48 heures. On dirait bien que ça a fonctionné. Un groupe de jeunes chercheurs motivés du Canada et d’Europe ont joint leurs efforts afin de réunir arts et science dans un projet de bandes dessinées sur le pergélisol (sol gelé). L’objectif de ce projet est de présenter et d’expliquer la recherche scientifique réalisée à travers l’Arctique, en mettant l’emphase sur le travail de terrain et sur l’environnement nordique en mutation. Le public-cible inclut les enfants, jeunes et moins jeunes, les parents et les enseignants, avec comme but de rendre la science du pergélisol amusante et accessible au grand public. Ce qu’il faut savoir, c’est que le pergélisol occupe une superficie de plus de vingt millions de kilomètres carrés dans l’hémisphère nord. Avec le réchauffement climatique, le pergélisol dégèle et devient plus instable sous les bâtiments, les routes et les pistes d’aéroports. Le dégel rapide d’un sol autrefois gelé perturbe également les écosystèmes, notamment la qualité de l’eau dans les milieux aquatiques, et relâche du carbone vers l’atmosphère sous forme de gaz à effet de serre, amplifiant le réchauffement. Bref, la dynamique du pergélisol face aux changements climatiques nous concerne tous. Ce projet a reçu un premier soutien financier de l’International Permafrost Association (IPA) en 2015, et depuis, plusieurs autres partenaires se sont joints à nous. C’est grâce à eux que nous présentons aujourd’hui cette version française. Nous y voilà, donc, trois ans après cette première idée. Ce que vous vous apprê-tez à lire est le résultat de nombreux échanges entre artistes et scientifiques. Nous avons d’abord lancé un appel d’offres et reçu 49 dossiers d’artistes pro-venant de 16 pays. Au terme d’une évaluation rigoureuse, nous avons choisi deux artistes pour travailler sur ce projet : Noémie Ross du Canada et Heta Nääs de Finlande. Avec l’apport des scientifiques, Noémie et Heta ont créé de fabuleuses illustrations expliquant les changements en cours dans les régions affectées par le pergélisol, comment ces mutations affectent les populations et les espèces, et ce que font les scientifiques pour mieux comprendre ces changements et aider les populations à s’y adapter. Nous souhaitons à tous beaucoup de plaisir à lire ce livret et nous en profitons pour remercier chaleureusement tous nos partenaires.

    Description: This project started in October 2015 with a crazy idea : prepare and submit a funding application for an international, multidisciplinary and non-traditional scientific outreach project… within the next 48 hours. Well, it worked out. A group of highly motivated young researchers from Canada and Europe united to combine arts and science and produce a series of outreach comic strips about permafrost (frozen ground). The aim of the project is to present and explain scientific research conducted across the circumpolar Arctic, placing emphasis on field work and the rapidly changing northern environment. The target audience is kids, youth, parents and teachers, with the general goal of making permafrost science more fun and accessible to the public. Because guess what : permafrost represents an area of more than twenty million km2 in the Northern Hemisphere, a huge area. As the climate warms, permafrost thaws and becomes unstable for houses, roads and airports. This rapid thawing of previously frozen ground also disrupts plant and animal habitats, impacts water quality and the ecology of lakes, and releases carbon into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases, making climate change even stronger. Hence permafrost and its response to climate change concerns us all. The project received initial support from the International Permafrost Association (IPA) as a targeted ‘Action Group’, and since then several other sponsors have joined the project. Here we are, now, two years after this first idea. What you are about to read is the result of an iterative process of exchanging ideas between artists and scientists. We first made an application call and received 49 applications from artists in 16 countries. Through a formal review process, we then selected two artists to work on this project: Noémie Ross from Canada, and Heta Nääs from Finland. With input from scientists, Noémie and Heta created fantastic cartoons that explain some of the changes happening to the environment in permafrost areas, how they affect people and wildlife, and what scientists are doing to better understand these changes to help people find innovative ways to adapt. We wish everyone plenty of fun reading this booklet and we would like to thank all those who supported this project.

    Description: Un suivi, un contrôle et une surveillance (SCS) efficaces sont essentiels au succès des mesures de conservation et de gestion du milieu marin. Alors que les États ont le droit exclusif de gérer les ressources marines relevant de leur juridiction nationale, les zones situées au-delà de la juridiction nationale (ZAJN) sont soumises à un ensemble complexe de règles et de réglementations internationales (Wright et al., 2018). Le SCS efficace de ces eaux profondes et lointaines constitue un défi technique important et l'intérêt pour la manière dont les outils et les politiques de SCS peuvent être appliqués à ce vaste patrimoine commun mondial ne cesse de croître. Les États de l'Organisation des Nations unies (ONU) négocient actuellement un instrument international juridiquement contraignant (ILBI, par son acronyme en anglais) pour la conservation et l'utilisation durable de la diversité biologique des zones marines situées au-delà de la juridiction nationale (appelé ici "traité sur la haute mer"). Le présent document examine la façon dont les négociations pourraient renforcer le SCS des ZAJN et la contribution que le SCS pourrait apporter à la mise en œuvre d'un futur traité.

    Description: Effective monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) is critical for the success of marine conservation and management measures. Whereas States have the exclusive right to manage the marine resources within their national jurisdiction, areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) are subject to a complex patchwork of international rules and regulations (Wright et al., 2018). Effective MCS of these deep and distant waters is a significant technical challenge and there is growing interest in how MCS tools and policies can be applied to this vast global commons. States at the United Nations (UN) are currently negotiating an international legally binding instrument (ILBI) for the conservation and sustainable use of the biological diversity of marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (referred to here as the “high seas treaty”). This brief explores how the negotiations could strengthen MCS in ABNJ and the contribution MCS could make to the implementation of a future treaty.
