The theme for this symposium is open. It covers a wide variety of topics relating to the Arctic and the Antarctic. These include:

* Human rights issues, such as autonomy and self-government vs. self-determination, the rights of indigenous peoples to land and natural resources and cultural rights

Research presentations are welcome on all aspects of snow and ice research. We particularly encourage international colleagues who may be planning to visit the UK around this time to join us in Aberdeen and present their work. We will advertise a website nearer the time with all relevant information

This course is a detailed exploration of the behaviour of calving glaciers, marine ice-streams and ice shelves. Lectures and seminars will focus on recent changes in calving glacier dynamics and front positions, and the theory of key processes including hydrology, basal motion, fracturing and

The conference will provide an opportunity to discuss the immediate past, the present situation, and the prospects for the near future of urbanization in the Arctic. The conference will explore different aspects of urbanization such as:

* The overarching framework of the urbanization process

This workshop will be run by Christine M. Hunter (Assistant Professor of Wildlife Ecology, University of Alaska Fairbanks) and Jean-Dominique Lebreton (Director of Research at CNRS, Montpellier, France). The workshop will discuss field population dynamics and matrix population modeling. It is aimed

The aim of this summer school is to talk and learn about recent developments in microstructural analysis of ice and snow. It is mostly focused on MSc, PhD and also postdocs. Undergraduates are also welcome to apply. Our goal is to get around 35 students together. Over 4 days, lecturers will present

The Cryosphere Working Group of the International Arctic Science Committee has initiated a field workshop on studies of Arctic tidewater glaciers. The workshop will be held in Svalbard aboard the Polish r/v “Horyzont II”. The ship has suitable facilities for workshop sessions and will provide

Join us for the Arctic Imperative Summit — two days of provocative discussions, investor roundtables and original research focusing on infrastructure development, policy needs and economic opportunities in the Alaskan Arctic. The summit will be hosted by Alaska Dispatch and will bring together

Researchers from NASA Ames Research Center will provide insights into the new technologies that form the solid engineering basis for modern cargo airship systems. Speakers from the mining, oil, and gas industries will describe their transportation challenges and how they plan to exploit cargo

The effect of global warming on arctic and alpine environments is more and more relevant to plant science, particularly dendrochronology. Since the anatomical structure of arctic and alpine plants, and the structural variability caused by environmental change, is not well known, this course is being
