2026 Annual Science Meeting
Borealization:
Subarctic and Arctic Marine Systems in Transition
Dates: 23-25 June, 2026
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland.
Expect a call for abstracts and open registration in early December, with abstracts due January 15, 2026. Because June is a busy month in Reykjavík, we encourage booking accommodations early.
Tentative session titles include the following. Each session is focused around a theme and is designed to span the natural and social sciences and to cover systems from the coast to the deep sea:
- Marine Heatwaves: Impacts on High Latitude Ecosystems from Physics to Biology and Human Communities
- Tracking Borealization: Physical Change, Biological Responses, Community Impacts
- Gadids under Borealization: Ecology, Fisheries, and Management
- Connections across the Subarctic Atlantic: Physics to Fish, Fjords to Gyres, Surface to Seafloor
- The effects of multiple drivers on Arctic and Sub-arctic costal/fjord environments: bridging marine chemistry and biology
We look forward to seeing you in Reykjavík.
