The Rapid Landscape Change Conference was held 15-17 June 2005 in
Whitehorse, Yukon. The three-day meeting reviewed current research on
the effects of climate and landscape change in the North throughout the
Holocene, and on the chronology and nature of past environmental events.
It sought insights from past landscape changes and the way ancient
peoples responded that might be useful for today's changing environments.

On this website you will find the Conference Report as well as key
points made during the conference that have been summarized in a
Declaration on rapid landscape change. The Declaration received the
support of participants as a message from the meeting.
This meeting was part of the Dark Nature project
(http://www.mun.ca/canqua/ICSU-DN/) which is funded by the International
Council for Science in cooperation with other international and national
organizations and led by the International Union of Geological Sciences
(IUGS).
