The conference planning committee is now accepting abstracts for oral
and poster presentations. All poster abstracts relevant to the

The theme of the meeting is "Natural and Cultural Heritage of Greater
Beringia." The symposium will focus on scientific and scholarly
research, natural and cultural resource inventories, and monitoring
relevant to parks, preserves, monuments, refuges and heritage resources.
The geographic scope of this IPY symposium stretches from the Lena River
in Siberia to the Mackenzie River in Canada, and from the North Pole to
the Aleutian Islands.
