SESSION DESCRIPTION
The International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008 will be a hallmark
scientific effort between scientists and nations around the world. It
will be an intense, coordinated campaign of polar observations,
research, and analysis that will be multidisciplinary in scope and
international in participation. The IPY will include a broad range of
activities organized around a select number of scientific themes,
including:
(1) Assessing large-scale environmental and social change and
variability in the polar regions
(2) Exploring new scientific frontiers from the molecular to the
planetary scale
(3) Designing and implementing multidisciplinary polar observing
networks that will provide a long-term perspective
(4) Advancing our understanding of polar-global teleconnections

We invite abstracts on current and planned activities that fit within
the framework of the IPY, as well as abstracts on public education and
outreach as they relate to the IPY.
