Virtual Conference on Acoustics in the Arctic Ocean

The Working Group on Arctic Acoustic Environment of the International Quiet Ocean Experiment (IQOE)
is planning a Virtual Conference on Acoustics in the Arctic. The purpose of the conference is to share
recent results from the international community of scientists working on acoustic and bioacoustic research
and observations in the Arctic region. Abstracts should be related to one of IQOE’s five fundamental
research questions (see https://www.iqoe.org/science/questions). The conference will feature online oral
(livestream and pre-recorded) and poster presentations, selected from abstracts submitted. The
conference will be held on 11-12 November 2020. PowerPoint slides of oral presenters and posters of
poster presenters will be posted online. To accommodate the different geographic distributions and time
zones of registered participants, there will be two repeated half-day sessions.

Organizing Committee: Philippe Blondel, Marie-Noelle Houssais, Jukka Pajala, Roberto Racca, Hanne
Sagen, Jaroslaw Tegowski, Karolin Thomisch, Vedenev Alexander
Registration: Registration is now open. There is no registration fee. Registration will be kept open until
the time of the conference.

Abstracts: Abstracts should be limited to 500 words. Abstracts will be reviewed by the Organizing
Committee for quality and relevance to the conference. Since there may not be time for all presentations
to be in oral format, some participants may be asked to make poster presentations. Abstracts should be
submitted electronically to ed.urban@scor-int.org by 1 October 2020.

Publishing of Results: Presentations will be linked to the meeting Website with any confidential slides
removed. Presentations can be recorded, if desired. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America has
opened a special issue on acoustics in the Arctic Ocean (asa.scitation.org/jas/info/specialissues), which could be an excellent place for participants to submit their research.
