32nd Annual Arctic Workshop 2002
INSTAAR, University of Colorado
Boulder, Colorado

14-16 March 2002

The 32nd Annual International Arctic Workshop will be held 14-16 March
2002, at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR),
University of Colorado at Boulder. This workshop has grown out of a
series of informal annual meetings sponsored by INSTAAR and other
academic institutions worldwide. In keeping with this tradition, there
are no formalized topics, and the workshop is organized around themes
developed from the abstracts submitted for presentation and poster
display. We hope to build upon the increasing breadth and success of
past years for a rewarding interdisciplinary meeting on a variety of
arctic research themes.

WHEN:
Reception and Registration: Wednesday evening, 13 March 2002,
5:00-8:00pm
Main program: 14-16 March 2002

WHERE:
Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado
Boulder, Colorado
East Campus (30th and Marine), Research Buildings #1 and #3

ABSTRACTS:
Information on submission of abstracts will be posted by 15
December 2001 on our web site at:
http://instaar.colorado.edu/meetings/AW2002 (note that "AW" is
capitalized).

DEADLINE for abstracts will be: 22 February 2002

PRESENTATIONS:
You will be able to choose either a poster or a talk, but probably
not both.

REGISTRATION:
Graduate registration will be $50. We have a limited amount of NSF
money on-hand for Graduate support and we have asked NSF for further
support of Graduate student attendance at the Workshop. But, given
the uncertain international climate and its impact on the U.S.
government's budget it is difficult to predict when we might learn
whether we have additional funds.

Professional registration will be $80 if paid by 7 March 2002. After
that date, professional registration will be $90, including payment at
the time of the workshop.

EMAIL ADDRESS:
If you have questions, please email us at: ArcticWS [at] colorado.edu

LODGING:
We will provide links on the web page to Boulder hotels and we
are planning to secure a block of rooms at the Broker Hotel.

RESEARCH THEMES:
Arctic Workshops have traditionally included a broad spectrum of talks
and posters. However, we have also accommodated specific themes. We can
also accommodate small group meetings but it helps if we have notice
and a preferred time so we can book the room(s). Please identify any
special topics or needs by emailing John Andrews at: andrewsj [at] colorado.edu
