Abstracts for poster presentations at the ARCUS 19th Annual Meeting and Arctic
Forum 2007 are now being accepted until Monday, 14 May 2007. The Annual
Meeting and Arctic Forum is being held in Washington, DC on 23-24 May 2007.
The Arctic Forum is jointly hosted by ARCUS and the Embassy of Sweden.

The focus of this year's Arctic Forum is: "Water in the Arctic:
International Collaborations and Understanding Environmental Change." Poster
presentations will highlight recent arctic research and education.

Presentations and discussions will focus on questions such as:
- What are the changes being witnessed in the water cycle and how will
these changes impact the physical, biological, and social environments
of the Arctic?
- How does the science of water and the arctic environment relate to
public policy and how can information be translated to decision makers?
- How can we forge international collaborations during IPY and beyond to
address these exciting scientific challenges and opportunities?

The Arctic Forum is co-chaired by Larry Hinzman, University of
Alaska Fairbanks, and Gunhild Rosqvist, Stockholm University.

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:
http://www.arcus.org/annual_meetings/2007/abstracts.html

The deadline for submitting an abstract has been extended to Monday, 14 May
2007.
