BCCR- Extreme Events Cross Theme Seminar
Polar Theme meeting
#BCCRpolar meeting will be on Wednesday the 8th of December 10:00-13:00 including lunch at “Pynten” meeting room at IMR, Nordnes (!). Please add this to your calendar now and be prepared to work on the new Bjerknes strategy plan including suggestions for key tasks to accomplish in the coming 5 year period.
As for this last #BCCRpolar meeting we will have a back to back seminar on an exiting research topic (similar to the Greenland seminar last week). Details on this will come later. If you have topics, or want to host a seminar for everyone at polar let us know - we should start on a program for next year.
A sign-up sheet + zoom link for remote participation will be sent later.
