Consortium for the Advancement of Marine Arctic Science
The Consortium for the Advancement of Marine Arctic Science (CAMAS) aims to facilitate and enhance international collaboration on marine Arctic science. Motivated partly by the demonstrated need for, and accomplishments of, past efforts like the Forum for Arctic Modeling and Observational Synthesis (FAMOS) and the Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (AOMIP), CAMAS aims to advance the understanding and model representation of key marine Arctic processes that contribute to the rapid changes in the Arctic. CAMAS will focus on the following themes:
During annual workshops, participants initiate, execute, and finalize coordinated activities that will advance our understanding of these topics through multi-model analysis, model-observational synthesis, and the development and evaluation of process-oriented metrics. Each workshop is preceded by an Early-Career School with lectures and activities on current topics in the field, with ample time for discussion and social events.
CAMAS is a contribution to the HiLAT-RASM project, and sponsored by the Department of Energy’s Regional and Global Model Analysis (RGMA) program area.
- 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

CAMAS Workshops and Early-Career Schools
CAMAS aims to organize annual workshops, each preceded by a school for early-career scientists. Information about these workshops can be found here.
CAMAS Projects
The main objective of CAMAS is to encourage and facilitate the development and execution of collaborative projects. Take a look here to learn more about the projects that CAMAS members are collaborating on.
AGU Special Collection
AGU Publications will publish a Special Collection of papers documenting scientific progress facilitated by CAMAS. Although primarily intended as a collection of papers that resulted from research inspired by CAMAS workshops, all submissions that are relevant for the themes of CAMAS will be considered for publication.
