Dear Arctic Colleagues and Students:
In keeping with the ARCUS mission to promote arctic research and
education, the ARCUS Board of Directors announces the Sixth Annual ARCUS
Award for Arctic Research Excellence competition. This year's student
competition will be judged in four broad categories: Social Sciences,
Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Interdisciplinary Sciences, with
up to four awards given. Papers may address any research topic related
to the Arctic.
Competition details are outlined below. They can also be obtained by
visiting our web site at: http://www.arcus.org/award/index.html
Please encourage students in all disciplines to participate in this
excellent opportunity for young researchers to gain recognition for
their work and ideas. The judging committee will include prominent
arctic researchers from various fields. The winners of the "award for
excellence" will have the added experience of presenting their work to a
broad-based audience during the Arctic Forum at the ARCUS 14th Annual
Meeting in Washington, DC. Abstracts of the winning papers will be
published on the ARCUS web site as well. Previous winners have found
this exposure to be stimulating and career enhancing.
Please let us know if we can provide more information about the
competition.
Sincerely,
Wendy K. Warnick
Executive Director
