The symposium, "Park Science in the Arctic," will focus on scientific
and scholarly research, natural and cultural resource inventories, and
monitoring relevant to parks, preserves, monuments, refuges and heritage
resources. The geographic scope of this International Polar Year
symposium stretches from the Lena River in Siberia to the Mackenzie
River in Canada, and from the North Pole to the Aleutian Islands.
