The call for papers and application deadline for the workshop "Arctic
Coastal Zones at Risk" has been extended to Tuesday, 31 July 2007. The
workshop will be held on 1-3 October 2007, at the Polar Environmental
Centre in Tromso, Norway. The workshop is sponsored by the International
Arctic Science Committee, Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme,
the Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone research project,
International Permafrost Association, and the International Human
Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change.
The workshop focuses on the response of arctic geophysical and ecosystem
features to effects of global warming, i.e., the decreasing sea ice
cover, destabilization of permafrost systems, increased exposure of
coastal regions to storms, and the reactions of human societies to these
changes in the Arctic. Working groups will address physical,
biological-ecological, and socio-economic perspectives.
