"After the Melt," an international conference on ecological responses to
arctic climate change, will be held on 5-7 May 2008, at the University
of Aarhus, Denmark. The International Polar Year 2007-2008 commemorates
and highlights research and exploration in the Arctic. The conference
will focus specifically on the rapid and dramatic ecological
consequences of climate change in the Arctic. The conference is organized
by the National Environmental Research Institute at University of
Aarhus, Denmark, in collaboration with the Danish Polar Center.

The aim of this conference is to give an unparalleled opportunity to
advance public awareness of and appreciation for arctic ecology and its
inherent vulnerability to climatic changes. The combined list of invited
speakers embraces the arctic biome, from single species responses over
inter-trophic relations and complex system changes to the processes of
carbon cycling and feedback dynamics to the atmosphere.
