  1. EUREKA 2010: Canadian Arctic Science at 80N
    13-15 January 2010
    Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Organizers announce the "EUREKA 2010: Canadian Arctic Science at 80N"
workshop, which will be convened 13-15 January 2010 at the Lord Elgin
Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

For over 60 years, the Canadian station at Eureka, Nunavut (80N, 86.4W)
has provided a base for research in the High Arctic as well as
fulfilling its role as a weather station for Environment Canada. Over
that time a substantial body of research has been accomplished and a
large group of researchers have utilized the facility. However, because
of the varied nature and timing of the research, these groups have
rarely met together. More recently, the International Polar Year (IPY)
has provided opportunities for researchers from various international
stations to collaborate with the researchers at Eureka, particularly
those who are part of the International Arctic Systems for Observing the
Arctic (IASOA).

The aim of this workshop is to bring together the various research
groups that utilize the facilities at Eureka for science research in the
High Arctic to share research and results and to offer plans for future
research and collaboration. It is hoped that by providing this workshop
venue, collaborations can be stimulated and strengthened. Logistics for
activities at Eureka are a continual challenge and increased dialog and
sharing of resources can be very beneficial. Eureka is a unique resource
for Canada and innovative ideas for future activities and facilities
will be welcome. The workshop format will be informal with opportunity
for both presentations and discussion.

The 2010 SCAR Open Science Conference, based on the theme "Antarctica -
Witness to the Past and Guide to the Future," is scheduled for 3-6
August 2010. It will be convened at the Hotel Panamericano Buenos Aires
in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
