I attended great meetings discussing cutting edge scientific problems, saw a great award ceremony (Congrats again Mar and Gerard!), got feedback on my work and participated in a SAMOC workshop where the next steps of this big international program were discussed and built. I was happy to reconnect with my international network of colleagues and friends and see what are they doing. I was really glad to meet some really great scientists. So thank you Montréal, IUGG, and IAPSO for a great meeting!
Next Monday I'm flying to Montréal, Canada to assist to the 27th International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics General Assembly (IUGG), which includes the Internacional Association for the Physical Science of the Oceans (IAPSO) symposia. I'm very happy of going to my first big meeting since I moved to Iceland, so I want to acknowledge the Félag íslenskra náttúrufræðinga (www.fin.is) for providing me with the funding and the Marine Research Institute (www.hafogvatn.is) for letting me go and helping me with diets for food. I will enrich from this opportunity by expanding and consolidating my international network (so I hope to see you all there!!), observing where the scientific interest lie nowadays in the physical oceanography community (hot topics), and by understanding the broad scope/impacts of my research.
In this meeting I'll present two posters, both done in collaboration with the Instituto de Oceanografía y Cambio Global (IOCAG; http://iocag.ulpgc.es) and the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO; http://www.ieo.es). Both studies use observational long-time series to describe and characterize two interesting boundary currents in the Atlantic Ocean. Come and learn about the North Icelandic Irminger Current and the Poleward intermediate current of the Lanzarote Passage!. María (my Ph.D. student) is presenting early results from a scientific research exchange. While Pedro will introduce us to his latest results from the RAPROCAN hydrographic line (1), results linked with the RAPID AMOC seasonality (2, 3). Furthermore, I'm proud to announce that two great scientists with whom I had the pleasure of having worked together on a research article (3, 4) are receiving an Early Career Award. Join me on watching them achieve an important step in their career!. ------------------ Visit our posters: - Spatial, seasonal and interannual variability of the North Icelandic Irminger Current and East Icelandic Current around Iceland from 1993-2011. María Casanova-Masjoan et al. (My Ph.D. student). P01 - Posters - General Topics in Oceanography (July 10, 15:00-16:30). - The Canary intermediate poleward undercurrent: not another poleward flow in an eastern upwelling boundary. Pedro Vélez-Belchí et al. P06 - Posters - Oceanic Boundary Current Systems(July 13, 15:00-16:30). Join me on listening to these great Early Career Scientist Medal Awardees on Friday July 12: 18:00 – 18:30 Overturning variability with observations. Gerard McCarthy (ECS Medal 2019 - Physical ocean science, Ireland) 18:30 – 19:00 Nitrogen fixation across scales. Mar Benavides (ECS Medal 2019 - Chemical ocean science, France) |
