The Association of Canadian Universities for Northern Studies (ACUNS),

for the 9th ACUNS International Student Conference on Northern Studies
and Polar Regions: Communities of Change - Building an IPY Legacy. The
conference will be held 2-5 October 2009 in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.
Abstracts are solicited in the following areas:
- The impact of sustainable development, economic activity, and polar
law on communities, governance, and natural habitats;

the causes and effects of the changing polar climate;
- Changes to polar marine and terrestrial communities over the short
