following subject areas:
- Atmospheric Chemistry and Observation, by Stephane Bauguitte, Dwayne
Heard, Peter Liss;
- Atmospheric Dynamics and Climate Change, by Andrew Charlton-Perez,
Erik Kolstad and John Turner;
- Statistical Modeling in Climate Science, by David B. Stephenson; and
- Opportunity for sessions suggested by applicants.
Afternoon Sessions
- Poster Session;
- Climate Modeling Practicum;
- Outdoor/Lab Instrumentation Session; and
- Problem-Solving Sessions Where Problems Posed by Participants are
Discussed Informally with the Invited Senior Scientists.

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges to our society and the
atmosphere above the poles plays an important role in the global system.
The over-arching vision for the workshop is to bring together emerging
polar researchers and identify priorities and strategies that will shape
future polar atmospheric research.
The new registration deadline is Friday, 13 March 2009. For further
