T-MOSAiC

​T-MOSAiC is an IASC pan-Arctic, land-based program that would extend the activities that are currently in advanced planning for the IASC flagship program MOSAiC: ‘The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate’, MOSAiC is a multinational year-round study (2019-2020) of the central Arctic Ocean to measure the coupling between atmosphere, sea ice, ocean and ecosystem processes.
 
The objective of the satellite program T-MOSAiC is to coordinate complementary activities that will both aid and benefit from MOSAiC (especially the modelling components) by extending the work to the lands surrounding the Arctic Ocean and to the northern communities who live on those lands.

Scott Zolkos PhD student from the University of Alberta (Canada) was appointed last week in Ottawa as the 1st early career scientist member (ECS) of the T-MOSAiC EXCOM. Scott studies the effects of permafrost thaw on carbon cycling in the western Canadian Arctic and has been involved in T-MOSAiC since the beginning of the project. APECS will manage a call for a 2nd ECS member to the EXCOM in early January. T-MOSAiC is strongly committed with the ECS involvement in all phases of the program.
Welcome aboard Scott.
