--------------------------------------
The 38th Annual International Arctic Workshop will be held 5-7 March 2008 at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), University of Colorado at Boulder. The meeting is open to all interested in the Arctic, and will consist of a series of talks and poster sessions covering all aspects of high-latitude environments, past and present. Previous Arctic Workshops have included presentations on arctic and antarctic climate, archeology, environmental geochemistry, geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, soils, ecology, oceanography, Quaternary history, and more.
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. However, organizers can accommodate specific themes and arrange small group meetings. Please identify any special topics or needs by e-mailing ArcticWS@colorado.edu.
A reception and registration is scheduled for Tuesday evening March 4th from 5 pm - 8 p.m. The main program is scheduled for Wednesday through Friday, March 5th to 7th. Please note that this schedule starts and ends a day of the week earlier than past workshops.
Submission of abstracts through the website will begin before Wednesday, 5 December 2007. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, 13 February 2008. Presentations can be either a poster or a talk.
Registration through the website will begin before Wednesday, 5 December 2007. Professional registration will be $150 USD if paid by Wednesday, 13 February or $180 USD thereafter. Students presenting a talk or poster can register for free. Other students can register for $60 USD until Wednesday, 13 February or $180 USD thereafter. Organizers will provide updated links on the website to Boulder motels and plan to arrange block reservations at a local hotel.
Student participation is a vital component of this workshop. A limited number of students giving a talk or poster will receive financial assistance, including registration and hotel support.
Support for student participation is subsidized by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
