Registration is now open for the ARCUS 19th Annual Meeting and Arctic
Forum 2007 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."
The Arctic Forum is timed to coincide with a special program at the
Embassy of Sweden on "Water and Environment," which offers reflections
on global, national, regional, and local perspectives regarding water.
Forum sessions will include a diverse and international range of
perspectives on the state of knowledge of the hydrological cycle in the
circumpolar Arctic, gaps in our knowledge, and research and policy
opportunities and priorities. The Arctic Forum sessions will highlight
international collaborations for the International Polar Year and
beyond.
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 will be co-chaired by Larry Hinzman, University of
Alaska Fairbanks, and Gunhild Rosqvist, Stockholm University.
In addition to highlighting current research and policy issues relevant
to the Arctic through the Arctic Forum, the ARCUS Annual Meeting serves
to gather together members of the arctic research community, key agency
personnel and policy makers, as well as ARCUS member institution
representatives, board members, and staff.
