what they mean for decision-making. These seminars will be of interest
to federal agency officials, congressional staff, non-governmental
organizations, associations, and the public.
This seminar titled "Why the Arctic Matters at All?" will be presented
by Robert Corell and will discuss the sweeping changes occurring in the
earth's climate system that will impact communities in the Arctic and
all over the world.
