T-MOSAiC

​T-MOSAiC is an IASC pan-Arctic, land-based program that will 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.

T-MOSAiC at the 14th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant 

João Canário, T-MOSAiC chair, presented very briefly the T-MOSAiC program at the Polar Session of the 14th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant in Krakow, Poland.
The presentation included a very short description of T-MOSAiC goals and implementation and ended with the invitation to our mercury colleagues to collaborate with the related Action Groups.

5th T-MOSAiC Workshop: Arctic Microbiomes and Freshwater 

A Sentinel North sponsored T-MOSAiC workshop on Arctic Microbiomes and Land-Water Processes took place last August 28th in Quebec City, Canada. Around 30 researchers at the meeting and another 20 online through Zoom discussed their work, how it relates to the respective AGs and how they can contribute to the scientific goals of T-MOSAiC.
The organisers would like to acknowledge all of the participants for their contributions. The summary of all presentations can be downloaded on the Workshops Webpage.

5th T-MOSAiC Workshop on Arctic Microbiomes and Freshwater Processes in Quebec City

The 5th T-MOSAiC workshop on Arctic Microbiomes and Arctic Freshwater Processes will be held on August 28th in Quebec City (Canada) during the Sentinel North Annual Meeting.
This workshop is the first T-MOSAiC implementation scientific activity and involves three Action Groups: Arctic Microbiomes, Land-Water Processes and Northern Community Issues. More information about this workshop including the Final Program can be accessed in the Workshops webpage. 

T-MOSAiC Implementation

The planning of T-MOSAiC has developed through a series of international workshops sponsored by IASC. The Implementation Phase of T-MOSAiC is the establishment of Action Groups (TMAGS) focused on specific questions and outputs within the Science Plan framework. TMAGS are formally established through the Executive Committee of T-MOSAiC in response to specific suggestions and requests from the Steering Committee and other interested parties.
More information about the the T-MOSAiC Implementation and TMAGs is now available here.

T-MOSAiC in the AGU EoS journal

A T-MOSAiC article was published this week in the AGU "Earth and Space Sciences News" journal (EoS).
The article describes the main goals of T-MOSAiC program and highlights the discussions and conclusions of the 4th T-MOSAiC workshop held last May in Arkhangelsk.
​The full article can be accessed here.

T-MOSAiC Science Plan has been released

T-MOSAiC Science Plan has been released today and will be firstly presented next December 10th at the 3rd T-MOSAiC workshop in Ottawa.
The Science Plan resulted  from a series of discussions in International workshops and among the Arctic community. The document was prepared and revised by the T-MOSAiC EXCOM and Steering Committee.
The final version of the document can be downloaded here.
