Hello all, The International Polar Year (IPY) Oslo Science conference will be held from 8-12 June 2010 in Oslo, Norway. The IPY Oslo Science Conference will be the largest polar science conference ever convened, and, as can be seen in the five themes, many scientific disciplines will be represented.
Theme 1. Linkages between Polar Regions and global systems Theme 2. Past, present and future changes in Polar Regions Theme 3. Polar ecosystems and biodiversity Theme 4. Human dimensions of change: Health, society and resources Theme 5. New frontiers, data practices and directions in polar research Abstract submission has been extended until 25 January 2010. At this time, abstracts for all themes of the conference have been received from 58 countries, largely coinciding with countries that participated in the International Polar Year of 2007-2008. I hope that you will consider sharing your unique perspective and expertise by submitting an abstract or otherwise participating in this international and interdisciplinary conference. Abstracts may be submitted at http://www.ipy-osc.no/section/1257865053.48. Please visit http://www.ipy-osc.no/ for more information on the conference and to see listings of the numerous sessions under each of the five main themes.
