The National Park service invites submissions of poster and presentation
abstracts for the upcoming 2008 Alaska Park Science Symposium and
Beringia Days 2008 International Conference, to be held 14-16 October
2008, in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The symposium, "Park Science in the Arctic," will focus on scientific
and scholarly research, natural and cultural resource inventories, and
monitoring relevant to parks, preserves, monuments, refuges and heritage
resources. The geographic scope of this International Polar Year
symposium stretches from the Lena River in Siberia to the Mackenzie
River in Canada, and from the North Pole to the Aleutian Islands.
The meeting organizers welcome presentations from all scientific and
scholarly disciplines in the physical, biological, social and cultural
sciences, history and related humanities. All poster abstracts relevant
to the conference topic will be accepted. Due to agenda constraints,
only select abstracts will be invited for presentations. Those
abstracts not accepted for presentations will be invited to participate
in the poster session.
Preliminary symposium sessions include:
- Geology, paleontology, and cryosphere of Greater Beringia
- Climate change and its effects on natural and cultural heritage and
resources
- History, cultural connections, archaeology, ethnography, and languages
- Coastal and marine parks, refuges, and heritage resources in the
Bering Chukchi and Beaufort Seas
- Wildlife biology and ecology
- Fisheries biology and ecology
- Subsistence and management
- Recreation, tourism, and visitor experience
- Preserving natural and cultural heritage in resource development areas
