| Summary: | Granted by the Ministry of Education and Science, Republic of Poland (Program Społeczna Odpowiedzialność Nauki / Doskonała Nauka DNK/SP/513817/2021). Interdisciplinary Polar Studies (IPS-2023) Modular Meeting: Arctic Amplification-Glaciers- Environment consists of a two days scientific conference at UNIS in Longyearbyen and field workshops within Isfjorden and Hornsund Fjord areas. The event gathered over 60 polar scientists from Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Great Britain, Spain, India, Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sri Lanka, Switzerland and the USA. It was one of the meetings to spark creative thinking on interdisciplinary studies and a grasp of the warming Arctic. The IPS-2023 conference was organized by the Centre for Polar Studies, University of Silesia in Katowice, in cooperation with the Institute of Geophysics and Institute of Oceanology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS), The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), Polish Polar Consortium and Committee on Polar Research, Polish Academy of Sciences. The primary motivation and goal of the IPS-2023 were (1) to strengthen a holistic approach to studies and a better understanding of environmental changes due to the accelerated warming of the Arctic and (2) to prepare the new generation of scientists for creative involvement in the 5th International Polar Year 2032/2033 by active participation in the IASC ICARP IV (2025) process and the ongoing Ocean Decade (2021-2030) programme. The scientific sessions provided novel advantageous insights into the dynamically changing Arctic. [1] session "Amplification of Arctic warming" revealed the interconnected nature of the Arctic system. The discussions underscored the cascading effects of temperature anomalies, ocean heat content variations, and sea ice dynamics on the Arctic environment. Key insights included the potential impacts of changing Arctic Ocean ...
