CAMAS 2026 Workshop and Early-Career School
The Consortium for the Advancement of Marine Arctic Science (CAMAS) will hold its third Workshop on April 8-10, 2026, in amazing Monterey, CA. The workshop will be preceded by an Early-Career School on April 7, and will be held at the Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University.
Registration is open! Please follow this link. Registration closes March 8, 2026.
About CAMAS
The Consortium for the Advancement of Marine Arctic Science (CAMAS) was established in 2023 to facilitate and enhance international collaboration on marine Arctic science. It has been motivated in part by the demonstrated need for, and accomplishments of, similar past efforts, i.e., the Forum for Arctic Ocean Modeling and Observational Synthesis (FAMOS) and the Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (AOMIP). The overall aim of CAMAS is to advance the understanding and model representation of key marine Arctic processes that contribute to the rapid changes in the Arctic. In particular, CAMAS focuses on the following themes:
The first CAMAS Workshop and Early-Career School was held in February 2024 in Santa Fe, NM, while the second CAMAS Workshop and Early-Career School took place in April 2025, in Seattle. These events convened roughly 75 Arctic marine scientists from around the globe, fostering discussions on current research and sparking ideas for collaborative projects, several of which are currently in progress.
CAMAS is organized as part of the HiLAT-RASM project, and sponsored by Department of Energy’s Earth and Environmental Systems Modeling (EESM) program, and the Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
Venue
The workshop and EC school will be held at the Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University.

Remote Participation
We strongly encourage in-person participation for the most productive discussions and interactions. Options will be provided to join the workshop remotely, although some program elements will be in-person only. The early-career school will be in-person only.
Presentations
We strongly encourage all participants to submit an abstract during the registration process. Most abstracts will be assigned a poster. We will select a few abstracts for oral presentations. Early-career scientists can submit a brief description of their interests if no abstract is available. Remote participants will have the opportunity to submit a presentation of their choice (poster, slide deck, recording) that will be made available through a link on the online meeting agenda. They will be given an opportunity for a 3-minute flash talk during the workshop.
Registration
Registration will open in January, and will close March 8, 2026. Registration fees include:

Travel Support
Applications for travel support closed on January 31, 2026 and support decisions have been made.
Lodging
CAMAS has not arranged for room blocks, so everyone should find their own accommodations in Monterey or Pacific Grove, CA.
Early-career participants who have been selected for travel support are encouraged to find a roommate. A list of awardees will be shared after travel support decisions have been made.

The overall aim of CAMAS is to advance the understanding and model representation of key marine Arctic processes that contribute to the rapid changes in the Arctic. In particular, CAMAS focuses on the following themes:
- Drivers and impacts of ocean heat and freshwater transport into and out of the Arctic
- Ocean-ice-atmosphere interactions in a warming Arctic
- Biophysical impacts of Arctic marine biogeochemistry
