University of Colorado at Boulder. The meeting is open to all
interested in the Arctic, and will consist of a series of talks and
poster sessions covering all aspects of high-latitude environments,
past and present. Previous Arctic Workshops have included presentations
on arctic and antarctic climate, archeology, environmental
geochemistry, geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, soils, ecology,
oceanography, Quaternary history, and more.

12th Alpine Glaciological Meeting 2008
Second circular

6 and 7 March 2008
Chamonix
France

Dear colleagues

The next Alpine Glaciological Meeting (AGM) will be held in Chamonix, France, on the 6th and 7th of March, 2008. The meeting serves as an informal exchange platform for researchers working on snow, glaciers and permafrost. Oral and poster presentations are welcome, and young researchers are especially encouraged to present their work in progress.

The hands-on "Field Course in Arctic Science" will be offered through Summer Sessions at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and the students will have the unique opportunity to travel from the boreal forest in Interior Alaska past the alpine tundra in the Brooks Range to the arctic tundra at the Beaufort Sea. The students will learn about the ecology of the arctic and boreal systems through daily lectures delivered by a variety of scientists, active participation in field sampling, and discussions of the relevant science literature.
