Dear Colleague,
I am writing to invite participation in the ARCUS 14th Annual Meeting
and Arctic Forum 2002 in Arlington, Virginia, 15-17 May 2002. All
sessions will be held at the Hilton Arlington & Towers in Arlington, VA.
In addition to highlighting important arctic research through the Arctic
Forum, the ARCUS annual meeting serves to gather together members of the
arctic research community and key agency personnel and policy makers, as
well as ARCUS member institution representatives, the Board of
Directors, and the staff of ARCUS. Online registration and other
information about the meeting is available at

ARCTIC FORUM
You are invited to submit an abstract to present one or
more posters at the Arctic Forum, scheduled for 16-17 May. The online
abstract submission process is available at
http://www.arcus.org/annual_meeting_02/posters.shtml. The Arctic Forum
2002 is chaired by Dr. Sue Moore of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), National Marine Mammal Laboratory, and will
include invited and contributed talks by arctic researchers representing
diverse disciplines, projects, and programs. This year the Arctic Forum
will focus on biocomplexity in the Arctic. Dr. Rita Colwell, Director of
the National Science Foundation, will give the keynote presentation on
Thursday morning, 16 May 2002. Although the focus of the Forum is on
biocomplexity, posters on all aspects of arctic research are encouraged
and welcomed.
The student recipients of the Sixth Annual ARCUS Award for Arctic
Research Excellence will present their award-winning papers during the
Forum as well. A detailed program for the Arctic Forum will be available
on the web site soon.
