The deadline for poster abstract submissions to the ARCUS 20th Annual
Meeting and Arctic Forum has been extended to Friday, 2 May 2008. The
Annual Meeting and Arctic Forum will be held in Washington, DC, from
Tuesday through Thursday, 13-15 May 2008. The theme of this year's
meeting is "Tipping Points - The Arctic and Global Change."
The increasing pace and scale of observed environmental change in the
Arctic and around the globe raises an important question: Have we
reached major tipping points in the arctic system?
Interconnectedness of the Arctic is demonstrated when a single change
sends ripple effects throughout the marine, terrestrial, atmospheric,
socioeconomic, and global systems. Participants at the Arctic Forum will
discuss how such changes may be "tipping points" that represent new,
unknown, and potentially irreversible vanguards of arctic and global
change. Arctic Forum sessions will explore tipping points over different
scales of time and space, both environmental and socioeconomic, as well
as potential consequences, opportunities, and policy and management
response strategies.
The 2008 Arctic Forum is being co-chaired by Martin Miles, of the
Environmental Systems Analysis Research Center in Boulder, Colorado, and
Craig Fleener, of the Gwich'in Council International.
Attendees are invited to submit an abstract to present one or more
posters at the Arctic Forum on any topic related to arctic research or
education. Abstracts may be submitted at:
