The organizers of the State of the Arctic Conference announce the launch
of the conference website, which features an online community
suggestions form.

The State of the Arctic Conference will be held 16-19 March 2010 at the
Hyatt Regency Miami in Miami, Florida. The main goal of the conference
is to review our understanding of the arctic system in a time of
human-induced, rapid environmental change. It will provide an open
international forum for discussion of future research directions aimed
toward a better understanding of the arctic system and its trajectory.

The Organizing Committee would like your ideas on conference themes,
topics, structure, or other suggestions relevant to the conference
program. This is not a formal call for sessions, but rather an
opportunity for the broader arctic community to provide initial input to
the conference planning. A formal call for abstracts will be
forthcoming.

To submit a suggestion, go to the website (http://soa.arcus.org) and
click on "submit a suggestion." The deadline for this initial community
input is Monday, 14 September 2009.

The tentative conference program, registration, and call for abstracts
will be available soon.
