The Human Dimensions of the Arctic System (HARC) Core Office
(http://www.arcus.org/HARC/) invites papers and posters, for a special
session at the American Association for the Advancement of Science
(AAAS) 2006 Arctic Division Annual Meeting, that focus on identifying
and understanding linkages and feedbacks among the different components
of the arctic system and the role(s) of the human component in
particular. Papers that highlight interdisciplinarity across physical,
biological, and social sciences are encouraged, and especially those
that consider human dimensions as a focus for assessing the current
state of the Arctic and for developing a better understanding of future
system changes.
