Papers are being accepted until Wednesday, 28 February 2007 for the
following session at the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics
General Assembly on 2-13 July 2007, in Perugia, Italy:
Session PS006: Arctic Ocean Processes
Session Description:
Remarkable changes in the Arctic Ocean have happened in recent years,
including changes in sea ice extent and thickness, water mass
characteristics, ocean circulation, biogeochemical cycling, and the
arctic ecosystem as a whole. The impact and consequences of global and
amplified polar warming, however, remain poorly understood. Some
evidence shows that there are positive and negative feedbacks to the
atmosphere from the Arctic Ocean. Many studies have been focused on the
arctic changes in order to find the correlations among different
phenomena. Many linkages among marine processes in the Arctic Ocean have
been revealed by data analysis, theoretical studies, and numerical
modeling. In this session, physical and biogeochemical processes related
to the arctic changes will be reported and their driving factors and
dynamic mechanisms will be discussed. The International Polar Year
2007-2008 will provide ample opportunities to obtain more data for a
better understanding of the arctic changes and this session represents a
good opportunity for polar oceanographers.
