Dear Colleagues,
I would like to inform you about a meeting of The American Polar
Society the will take place here in Boulder Colorado on October 4-6,
2000.
Join us at the University of Colorado in Boulder for the Bi-Annual meeting
of the American Polar Society. The meeting will be held in brand new
facilities on the University campus, with lodging at local hotels. Themes
for this year's meeting include:
Where Have All the Data Gone?
Many data sets were collected in the early years of Antarctic and
Arctic research. Where are these data? How important are they for
current research?
From Dog Sled to Satellite
Current data collection techniques are far different from those of
expeditions in the 1950s -- comparisons and contrasts in observing
systems, logistics support, history
Human Impacts on the Polar Environment
How has human presence influenced polar regions? Pollution events
and their cleanup, tourism, military operations, influences of
mid-latitude culture.
CALL FOR PAPERS:
Papers are solicited which address the themes stated above
covering both polar regions. Oral and poster will be scheduled.
The submission deadline is May 1, 2000. Submit a title, with
optional abstract to:
Dr. Ernest E. Angino
Department of Geology
Lindley 120
University of Kansas
Lawrence, KS 66045
