34th Arctic Workshop 2004

INSTAAR, UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO

The 34th Annual International Arctic Workshop will be held March 11-13, 2004, at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), University of Colorado at Boulder. The workshop web site is http://instaar.colorado.edu/meetings/AW2004/ (note that "AW" is capitalized).

This workshop has grown out of a series of informal annual meetings sponsored by INSTAAR and other academic institutions worldwide. In keeping with this tradition, there are no formalized topics, and the workshop is organized around themes developed from abstracts submitted for presentation and poster display. In 2004, we hope to build upon the increasing interdisciplinary breadth of previous years by encouraging additional contributions in glaciology and snow sciences. Previous Arctic Workshops have included presentations on Arctic and Antarctic climate, archeology, environmental geochemistry, anthropology, geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, soils, ecology, oceanography, Quaternary history, and more.

WHEN:

Reception and Registration: Wed. evening March 10th, 5 pm - 8 pm. Main program: Thurs. through Sat., March 11th to 13th.

If you have questions, please email us at ArcticWS@colorado.edu

LODGING:

We will provide updated links on our web site to Boulder motels and plan to arrange block reservations at a local hotel.

RESEARCH THEMES:

Arctic Workshops have traditionally included a broad spectrum of talks and posters. However, we have also accommodated specific themes. We can also help arrange small group meetings but it helps if we have notice and a preferred time so we can book the room(s). Please identify any special topics or needs by emailing Tad Pfeffer at: pfeffer@tintin.colorado.edu.
