The 2009 Arctic Science Conference, "Impact of Environment on Human
Health: Interdisciplinary Science and Education," will be held 14-16

Division. The abstract submission deadline for the conference has been
extended to Friday, 7 August 2009. The deadline for the hotel

engineering, and education research resulting from IPY.

Planned sessions include:
